I have a TAB5 and a M5STAMP-CatM module, there doesn't seem to be any way to connect the 2 The Stamp fits in the aperture in the case and there are pads on the TAB5 PCB but no pins. So do they connect?

RE: TAB5 python Crash
@scroggyg I rewired the board to Port A and the code works. There seems to be an issue connecting an I2C device on the ExtPort2, the python crashes when the Extio2 is connected. That is all I have tested, there may be other issues.

RE: TAB5 python Crash
@scroggyg Felix, I ran your code, but changed to the internal I2C G31 & G32 the bus I am running the M0 from and it crashes.
I have made a board using the M0 from the EXtio2, I am using this successfully with other TAB5s -
RE: TAB5 python Crash
Thanks Felix, I updated the TAB5 to V2.3.6-hotfix2 but the problem remains. As a trest I write once a second and that works, when I then call it in another function it panics
This code panics
This code works
Any help would be appreciated -
TAB5 python Crash
I was trying to write an output on EXTIo2 and I got a python crash and a dump.
I then tried to update the TAB5 to V2.3.6-hotfix2.
The device programmed and the default UIFlow screen is showing, but now I cannot program the device.
I reverted to 2.3.5 and I can program the TAB5 -
M5Tab fatal error
I am now working with M5UI, and I am getting a core panic. The message is. The device resets and then the application runs, but the terminal has disconnected and print to the terminal no longer works.
Surely I shouldn't be able to create a core panic using UIFlow2?

TAB5 watchdog after firmware update
I have recently updated to the latest firmware.
I have a relatively simple program that uses a watchdog, and it is now reasonably impossible to reprogram it.
To recover I have to use M5Burner, and that takes several attempts.
It would seem that the watchdog is remaining active during the programming phase, causing the TAB5 to reset mid programming?
Has anyone else seen this? -
RE: Tab5 RS485 connector
I do think it is too fragile to be of any practical use, I am trying to surface mount a TAB5 in a 3D printed bezel but as all the other connections are on the side, it isn't easy

RE: UIFlow TAB5 text scaling
I did a check and set scaling to 1 and the display is properly shown i.e. as 9:59 etc

UIFlow TAB5 text scaling
I had crested an application usingthe Tough, but I was asked if I could use a larger screen. The application is very simple, but part of it displays a countdown clock (mins : Secs). As the fonts supplied are quite small I had to scale the text. On the Tough (without Scaling) worked fine on the TAB5 when the time changes to 9:59 it shows 9:590 and the zero persists. Is there a way to format the clock in UIFlow so it would show 09:59?

RE: Tab5 display issue
I would definitely a hardware problem, probably due to the connection to the display.
Also on the point of heat, the TAB5 seems to draw nearly almost 3 Watts, probably mostly on the larger display back light. I have had great problems powering it because of this. at 12 Volts on the HVIN it draws up to 240mA.
