@felmue it also sounds like you trying to use it inside a building which block the GPS signals. You need to hang the GPS antenna out of a window to get a GPS signal

@Uzr66 It might be helpful if you share the code with us and elaborate a bit further.

It turns out that part of the solution is sending the host mode to the ATOM. My code above did not do that (thus none of the commands were working.)

Not knowing the full state machine of the ATOM QR, I somehow assumed host and continuous were opposite modes - but I was mistaken.

I'm still unclear on how to send the Setup Code Prompt that is shown in the QR code.

So I have a version that makes no sounds - but I'm unclear if it was totally from the Serial2.write calls, and not from the scanning of that Setup Code Prompt mentioned
here

thanks,

It may be cutting it to protect the LDO in the Atom.
I once tried this and killed the LDO in a pico so I do not recommend it.

@gerber said in I2C with Atom S3 and PoE Base W5500:

ATOMIC PoE Base W5500

ATOMIC PoE Base W5500 occupies PIN ports and uses SPI protocol from what I can see,

so groove port on atom light is still available (TypeC x 1, GROVE(I2C+I/0+UART) x 1)

To run devices like this from an external supply I'd recommend a little Buck regulator board such as the one Youmile does (https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B07TTH6C3J). You can then set the output to fixed 5V and drive the input from anything - USB 5V from a breadboard, a 9V PP3, 12V or 24V car, truck or boat battery etc. - with no worries about blowing anything in the Atom.

Hello @Felix22

no, sorry, I don't have such a list. But if the error code is from an AT command you should be able to find its meaning from the AT command document linked on the product page.

Thanks
Felix

@lukes There is no schematic, which is unusual.
I "made an Issue" with M5Stack's GitHub page for AtomS3 last year about this, but, nada.

I uploaded an example to UIFlow2 project zone on how to use the AtomS3lite and ENIV in UIFLOW with MQTT last night

Thank you very much!

Thanks robski, yes indeed this was my problem. I hadn't updated my Atom S3 Lite with the latest firmware via M5Burner.
When I updated it to V2.0.1, the same as the latest UIFlow 2 version, it worked perfectly.
Thanks for your help.

The S3 series does not use an API code.
You need to log into M5Burner with your forum ID and password and then during the erase and burn process you will be asked to bind the Atom S3 to your account.

Once you agree and complete the burn process, load UIFlow2, log in (again using your forum username and password), Click on the device selector at the bottom of the screen and you will get a list of devices registered to your account.

I have almost all of them but in this case the M5Stick CPlus. It says IR is G9.

Hello @expjwt

according to the description the M5Atom can be powered from the 12 V.

A DC/DC voltage regulator chip is integrated in the ATOM RS-485, which can directly convert the 12V voltage of RS485 to 5V to supply power for M5ATOM, avoiding the trouble of using a separate power supply.

BTW: The 5 V on the header pin is connected to the 5 V on the Groove port. What voltage do you measure between 5 V and GND on the Groove port?

Thanks
Felix

@teastain Aahhh. Thanks! I'll know from now on! :D
