FYI, I discovered that the M5Unit-ENV library for PlatformIO is missing at least 1 commit compared to the one for the Arduino IDE, which is strange as they both advertise the same version: 0.0.8

I suspect that 0.0.8 has been re-issued as the release date on GitHub is from 2 weeks ago, an PlatformIO m5stack/M5Unit-ENV says: "Last Modified: a month ago"...

In the meantime, if you need the latest version, you can use the GitHub URL instead of the name in your lib_deps

@felmue That was the problem

Thank you very much!

Hi!

I can't get I2C working properly with my CoreS3...

Environment:

• CoreS3
• ENV-III sensor on Port A or Port B (no difference)
• Arduino IDE 2.2.1 with M5CoreS3 0.0.4
• Same with PlatformIO Core 6.1.11 with M5CoreS3 0.0.4

The issue is really weird:

1. Connect a sensor on Port A or B
2. Flash the "CoreS3 UserDemo" with M5Burner. Sensor can be seen in the I2C menu
3. Flash a program using I2C (E.g. the I2C_Tester.ino from the sample folder)
4. So far so good, it all works, we can get data from the SHT30 and the QMP6988 without any issue. Works on Port A and Port B.
5. Power off the device completely (Battery off, USB cable disconnected), the re-connect.
6. I2C doesn't work anymore (behavior is slightly different with the port: Port A times out and Port B just doesn't see any sensor, but none work)
7. The only way to get I2C back is to re-flash "CoreS3 UserDemo"

I2C does work as expected with UiFlow, so I assume the CoreS3 and the ENV-III aren't faulty.
I would think that I2C isn't properly initialized at startup...

The PIO console sometimes shows memory allocation error during startup (before setup() is invoked)

If you are desperate to get it running, I have forked the micropython-m5stamp-c3u library and removed the QMP6988 reset().

Unfortunately I have not found a way to override the built-in libraries, so it needs some code blocks in UiFlow...

First install the libraries:

import mip
mip.install("https://raw.githubusercontent.com/AmedeeBulle/micropython-m5stamp-c3u/main/lib/sht30.py", target="/flash/libs")
mip.install("https://raw.githubusercontent.com/AmedeeBulle/micropython-m5stamp-c3u/main/lib/checksum.py", target="/flash/libs")
mip.install("https://raw.githubusercontent.com/AmedeeBulle/micropython-m5stamp-c3u/main/lib/qmp6988.py", target="/flash/libs")

Once done you can query both sensors -- e.g:

There are basically 3 code blocks:

Import libraries:

import sht30
import qmp6988

Initialize sensors:

sht = sht30.SHT30(i2c0)
qmp = qmp6988.QMP6988(i2c0)

Get data:

temperature, pressure = qmp.measure()
pressure = pressure / 100
temperature2, humidity = sht.measure()

Note that in the above example, my ENV-III is plugged in the Port B, if you use Port A, adjust SCL/SDA accordingly!

@mtylerjr I am not so sure about that...

Even with that change, the module will reset at this line...

What works for me is to bypass the reset(), after that I get correct temperature/pressure; but once you reset, the next readfrom_mem() will reset the MCU

Anybody got this working?

I am facing the same issue.

I tried to use Port B instead or port A, but the behavior is exactly the same: the device reboots when init is invoked...
