Hello @robouden

hmm, running UIFlow2 on my M5CoreS3 and measuring current on USB-C I get about 140 mA / 5 V.

Is your M5CoreS3 maybe charging the battery?

Thanks
Felix

Hello @smily77

no, AFAIK there is no specific 'how to' for M5Tab5 - only the generic about how to build your own Arduino library using Arduino library builder or how to use Arduino as ESP-IDF component. See links above.

Thanks

Hi guys

the ESP32C6 is connected via SDIO bus to the ESP32P4 but unfortunately the GPIOs used in Tab5 differ from the GPIOs used by the ESP32P4 eval board.

In other words the pre-compiled Arduino library is setup to use SDIO GPIOs which do not match the Tab5 hardware.

So in order to use Arduino you'll need to pre-compile the Arduino library yourself using the Arduino library builder or setup the build system to use Arduino as ESP-IDF component. Both ways should allow to modify the SDIO GPIOs accordingly.

Note: the SDIO GPIOs used in Tab5 can be found here.

Hi guys

please find some information and pictures of my M5Tab5 with soldered M5Stamp LTE-M module here.

Hello @daniel-edge456

in UIFlow2 v2.2.6 using touch blocks for M5Paper and then look into the Python tab I get the following code to get touch coordinates:

if (M5.Touch.getCount()) > 0:
  x = M5.Touch.getX()
  y = M5.Touch.getY()

doing the same with power blocks I get:

Power.deepSleep(1000, True)

to put M5Paper into deep sleep.

Hello @huanfai

looking at the soucre code for UIFlow2 device firmware I think authentication keys are fixed to default values. See here and here.

In ohter words I don't think the RFID blocks in UIFlow2 can handle anything different than default authentication keys.

Hello @oracle_sod

ok, I see, the DFRobot version has an UART interface. M5ExtIO2 GPIOs can be set to multiple modes (input, output, ADC, servo, neopixel and PWM) but I am afraid none of these modes can be used for an UART connection.

According to the wiki page RX is used to select the mode, this could be achieved via M5ExtIO GPIO set as output.

However the TX line sends data with 9600 Baud, which I doubt M5ExtIO2 can handle.

That said, what is the reason you don't connect all three Ultrasound units directly to the M5Core? That would require 6 GPIOs.

And if you could live with the fact that all three Ultrasound units use the same mode you could get away with only 4 GPIOs, 1 GPIO to select the mode for all three units, and 1 GPIO for each unit to receive the UART data.

Thanks
Felix

Hello @oracle_sod

Note: I don't have the UltrasonicIO unit so my conclusions might be inaccurate.

Looking at the Arduino code, I see it uses a function called pulseIn() which does some sort of timing. I doubt it exists on the EXTIO2 unit so you would have to emulate this functionality yourself.

BTW: I think an easier setup would have been a PaHub unit with three Ultrasonic (I2C variant) units connected to it.

Hello @Robertof

hmm, using variables in MQTT publish works for me.

How are you testing your code? Make sure your test software uses a different MQTT client id than your UIFlow2 code, else the first registered client gets kicked out.

BTW: my example is in the Project Zone, named M5CoreS3_MQTT_4Relay_UIFlow2.2.5

Thanks

Hello @lenswerks

afaik Unit CatM GNSS (U137) uses a SIM7080G which can not use both, a LTE and GNSS, at the same time due to some shared RF circuitry.

See this posting on Stack Overflow.

Hello guys

some ideas for the next version of M5StamPLC:

1. switchable 5 V on Grove ports
2. switchable 5 V on extension port
3. LED indicators for the relays
4. LED indicators for the inputs

Notes for 1.: the existing ICs can be used by connecting output (P3) of (U5 PI4IOE5V6408) to the enable (EN) of (U4 LPW5209AB5F) instead of having EN tied to SYS_5V.

Notes for 2.: the existing ICs can be used by connecting output (P1_0) of (U4 AW9523B) to the enable (EN) of (U8 LPW5209AB5F) instead of having EN tied to PMU_5V.

Thanks
Felix

Hello @Krmiller

GetVBusVoltage() exists in M5Core2 library as well. See here.

Thanks
Felix

Hello @Krmiller

have you tried getType() to determine the correct AXP? See here.

For AXP2101 you could try getVBUSVoltage. See here.

Thanks
Felix

Hello @iainmac

you probably need to adjust the GPIOs used for I2C. You can find the GPIOs M5Dial uses for port A here. (Section HY2.0-4P)

Thanks
Felix

Hello @DR_Froggy_rD

I am afraid that doesn't work. A PaHub is for i2C devices (red Grove connector); the PDM unit is an I2S device (white Grove connector).

BTW: that is the reason in UIFlow2 PaHub doesn't show as option when the PDM unit selected.

Thanks
Felix

Hello @rammelsberg

I don't see solder jumpers and I cannot find the source code for the firmware running in M5GoPlus2 so no, I don't think you can easily modify the I2C address.

Thanks
Felix

Hello @s1y99

ok, now I understand - thank you for clarifying about the closed source M5Core firmware.

BTW: for RST and IRQ you could set no jumper and then solder a wire each to the desired GPIO on the M5Stack bus connector.

Thanks
Felix

Hello @s1y99

I am confused. Your own firmware, the one you write for your M5Core (which talks to the LoRa module), is closed source? How come? Are you not writing your own firmware?

I already wrote that it is not possible to jumper LoRa V1.1 the same as the older one, please see my previous post.

MOSI, MISO, SCK and CS/NSS can be setup to use the same GPIOs, however RST and IRQ cannot be jumpered to be the same.

So in conclusion: If for whatever reason the firmware running on M5Core (controlling the LoRa module) cannot be modified then it is not possible to substitute the older LoRa module with the new one.

Thanks
Felix

Hello @RadghKris

I think it might help to include epdiy.h before Unified.h in your code. E.g.

#include <epdiy.h>
#include <M5Unified.h>

Please see this post.

And maybe also check this documentation - Section 6.Program Compilation & Burning.

Thanks
Felix

Hello @drbob

my example should give you a head start. Please have a look here.
