    • Best Unit Option

      Hello

      I looking for the best unit options to do the following tasks.

      1. control or activate a solenoid (Relay Unit I think)
      2. read from a 9 pin serial port (RS485 to TTL)

      if there are any other or better options I would like to hear them

      thanks

    • RE: Servo Kit 180 connection

      I have been able to get it working with the correct wiring using the grove port in a Core Basic Gray unit.

      No I will start to use the io pins in the bottom of the unit so I can use the grove port for other things.

      thanks for all your assistance.

      @ajb2k3 When the servo is attached and then plugged in, it does not start. When the servo is removed and then plugged in it starts..

    • RE: Servo Kit 180 connection

      @teastain Thanks for the info. I hope you got something out of this adventure :). The StickC does not have a battery. I'll try with the Core Grey I have, it has a battery and see I can get it to work with the pins and not the Grove.

      It does seem odd though.

      thanks again

      cheers Kyle

    • Servo Kit 180 connection

      Hi,

      I'm trying to connect a Servo Kit 180 to a M5StickC. However when I try the Stick shuts down when I connect the red pin.
      See images below.
      Do I need a separate connector or are the pins mixed up.

    • Sending file to server urequests

      Best method for sending large sets of data back to api as a file.

      I have tried urequests and the post does not like the keyword files.

      does anyone have a method they would like to share.

      thanks

      Kyle

    • RE: UHF RFID Unit (JRD4035) on M5Core2

      @Bat21

      Not sure if this will help.

      I made a quick reader based on a [project I'm working on this also works on m5Paper as well it's nothing complex simple read and display, this is on a Basic Core unit
      A quick video showing it working
      https://youtu.be/qvtr6Vy-HwY

      The Tags I use are these ones

      Tag 1
      Tag 2

      make sure the port is correct otherwise the bytes out of range error pops up
      I hope it helps

      uhf_rfid_0 = unit.get(unit.UHF_RFID, unit.PORTA)

    • RE: UHF-RFID M5Stack Current and Power consumption

      @jptalledo

      I have noticed it drains the battery of the M5Paper quite quickly. I have not tested that specifically as it was not a requirement for my project. The range is quite good at 50-70 cm.

      I think there is a way to change the power and read strength, though I have not investigated too deeply. I am using other methods to alter read time. When I get to a stable point I will refine some more.
