Hello @easytarget

for me your current implementation to turn off M5Tab5 actually only does a reset.

The power off pulse needs to pulse to turn off M5Tab5. See here.

I modified poweroff_now function in your library like below:

def poweroff_now(self):
        """Instant full power off. Be sure you want to use this!"""
#        self._e2.set_output(_PWROFF_PULSE_PIN, HIGH)
        for x in range(10):
            self._e2.set_output(_PWROFF_PULSE_PIN, LOW)
            sleep(0.05)
            self._e2.set_output(_PWROFF_PULSE_PIN, HIGH)
            sleep(0.05)

and now my M5Tab5 turns off.

Thanks

Hello @astro_m5

have you tried to flash UIFlow2.0 or CoreS3 UserDemo using M5Burner? Does that recover the backlight?

Thanks
Felix

Hello @frank_b

have you tired without COMMU module stacked?

Thanks

Hi guys

while there doesn't seem to be a Pin Interrupt block you can just put some code into an Execute mpy code block.

I created an example showing interrupts use on Pins. You can find it in the UIFlow Project Zone called: M5AtomS3_GPIO_Interrupt_UIFlow2.4.0

Thanks

Hello @easytarget

from what I can tell the schematic is correct.

In the source code for M5Tab5-UserDemo GPIO36 is initialized as clock (see here).

But when I modify function bsp_cam_osc_init() to immediately return (so that the clock setup code is not executed) the camera still works fine.

Hi guys

I added PSRAM to my M5CardputerADV. Project link.

Hi guys

I created an NB-IoT Cap for my M5CardputerADV putting a SIM7080G module into a LoRa Cap case. Link to project.

Hello @HappyUser

M5Unified has built-in LED support. My guess is that the two, M5Unified and FastLED, are 'fighting' for the LED. Have a look here. There is an example at the end of the page.

Hello @Safeware

you probably are not missing anything from the software side. The issue most likely is caused by the PWRKEY hardwired to the STATUS output of the modem. This 'trick' is used to auto-start the modem. However it also causes the modem to wake-up from PSM immediately.

See modem schematics here.

From SIM7070_SIM7080_SIM7090 Series_Low Power Mode_Application Note_V1.02 found here.

Section 3.1 PSM Wake-up states:

Wake-up conditions:
1) T3412 timer is expired
2) Pulling PWRKEY to low level

If above is not the issue, then there are some points to check:

• have you tried with both connection types: CatM and NB-IoT?
• is GNSS turned off? SIM7080G can only used WWAN or GNSS, but not both at the same time.
• Is your SIM7080G using the latest firmware?
• Does your provider actually support PSM?
• Is your power supply able to deliver the necessary current? Resets often are caused by too weak power supplies.

Hello @VashJuan

well, it looks to me that none of the listed devices are actually I2C devices.

• Grove Temp. Sensor: has an analog out pin (the other is NC) which means it directly sends an analog value
• Grove Wireless Mod: has RX and TX which means it has an UART interface
• Buzzer: well, my guess would be that it is not I2C either

Thanks
Felix

Hello @HappyUser

correct, M5Tab5 has an (empty) slot on its board which takes a stamp sized expansion like CatM or LoRa or ... - see backside picture of M5Tab5.

That said, afaik at this point in time only the Stamp CatM exists. See here.

In other words, you'll need to wait until M5Stack releases a Stamp LoRa.

Hello @ProfHuster

yes, that is what I observed too. As long as edit mode in Python code window is enabled, changes on the blockly side get ignored. (I guess that's to prevent changes from being overwritten.)

Thanks
Felix

Hello @ProfHuster

below is an example filled with print("hello"):

Please also have a look at my example in the UIFlow2 Project Zone called: M5Tab5_ExecuteMpyCodeTest_UIFlow2.3.9

Thanks
Felix

Hello @magister

in the mean time you could try and copy the correct Python statement into an Execute mpy code block. You can find it under System.

Thanks
Felix

Hello @ProfHuster

hmm, works for me with M5Tab5 UIFlow2 v2.3.9. It also got translated into Python code window.

Thanks
Felix

Hello @BruderTom

the issue seems to be an I2C conflict. Internal I2C already uses Wire1; the PPS code initializes a second I2C instance (Wire) with the same GPIOs for SDA and SCL. The result is: both I2C instances (Wire and Wire1) fight against each other.

Try replacing below line so the correct Wire1 instance is used for PPS as well:

//  while (!pps.begin(&Wire, M5.In_I2C.getSDA(), M5.In_I2C.getSCL(), MODULE_POWER_ADDR, 1000000U));
  while (!pps.begin((M5.In_I2C.getPort() == I2C_NUM_1) ? &Wire1 : &Wire, M5.In_I2C.getSDA(), M5.In_I2C.getSCL(), MODULE_POWER_ADDR, 1000000U));

Thanks

Hello @BR123456

it looks like the internal scan in UIFlow 2.3.8 default scanner is broken - I do not get any results either.

However if I scan the internal bus via I2C blocks it picks up all internal I2C addresses and what's connected to the M-Bus. The example is called M5Tab5_I2C_Scan_Test_UIFlow2.3.8 and you can find it in the UIFlow2 Project Zone.

Hello @paulgrevink

have you tried to disconnect everything from M5StickCPlus2 and fully powering it off by pressing and holding the power button?

Also have you tried to erase flash using M5Burner before installing UIFlow2 firmware?

BTW: I did a test and installed ESPHome basic firmware, then installed UIFlow2.3.8 firmware and then ran M5StickCPlus2_GPIO32_GPIO33_ON_OFF_UiFlow2.2.0 from Project Zone without issue, e.g GPIO32 and GPIO33 toggle just fine between 0 V and 3.3 V.

Note: While ESPHome was installed GPIO32 measured something like 0.2 V.

Hi guys

yes, it looks like there was a display / touch related change. See Screen Driver Change note here.

My guess would be that this change has not yet fully been integrated into UIFlow2.

Thanks
Felix

Hello @Rusticus42

there is a solution: use a M5PbHub unit (which is an I2C unit) to read the button states of the Dual Button unit.

I created an example in the UIFlow2 Project Zone: M5AtomS3_RFID_PbHub_DualButton_Test_UIFlow2.3.7

Note: I do not have an M5AtomS3R so you probably need to adapt the example.

Thanks
Felix
