GestureUnit with AtomLite

[water5]

Hi,

I can't use the GestureUnit with the AtomLite.
Is there anything I can do?

I tried ...
AtomLite & GestureUnit & some Arduino Lib -- failed!
AtomLite & GestureUnit & UIFlow 1.8.9 -- failed!
AtomLite(G25&G21 pins for i2c) & GestureUnit & UIFlow 1.8.9 -- failed!
AtomLite & "TofUnit" & UIFlow 1.8.9 -- worked!
M5Stack & GestureUnit & UIFlow 1.8.9 -- worked!
M5StickPlus & GestureUnit & UIFlow 1.8.9 -- worked!
Another AtomLite & GestureUnit & UIFlow 1.8.9 -- failed!

I put only "gesture_0 begin" at UIFlow and I get below.

Traceback (most recent call last):
File "flow/m5cloud.py", line 82, in _exec_fun
File "<string>", line 6, in <module>
File "unit.py", line 144, in get
File "<string>", line 1, in <module>
File "units/_gesture.py", line 20, in init
File "units/_gesture.py", line 26, in _available
Unit: Gesture unit maybe not connect

Thanks!

Hello @water5

hmm, not sure why it would fail when used with UIFlow. I assume you selected port A for the gesture unit, correct?

Note: there is always the possibility something's broken in UIFlow. I don't have a gesture unit so I cannot test myself whether it should work or not with UIFlow.

For Arduino it should work after disabling internal I2C (not used in AtomLite) and starting I2C on Groove port A with this statements in setup:

  M5.begin(true, false, true); // turn off internal I2C
  Wire.begin(26, 32); // Groove I2C on port A

Thanks

Hello Felix,

Yes, I use port A for the gesture unit.

According to my results, I suspect that there is compatibility problem bitween AtomLite & GestureUnit.

Does anybody use a AtomLite & a GestureUnit?

Thanks.

Hello @water5

today I got my gesture unit and I can confirm that it works fine with M5Core2 but fails to work with M5AtomLite using UiFlow firmware 1.9.8.

What I found however is, that the gesture unit starts to work with M5AtomLite as soon as I add another I2C unit. I also double-checked with an I2C scan: only gesture unit connected to M5AtomLite and the scan finds nothing. Gesture unit and PbHub connected to M5Atom and the scan finds both. Go figure...

Thanks
Felix
