I managed to resolve the issue I was having by editing the hardware.cpp of the project from

pinMode(VCC_3V3_PIN, INPUT);

to

#ifdef VCC_3V3_PIN pinMode(VCC_3V3_PIN, INPUT); #endif

This has then enabled me to comment out the unused pins in the pins.h

@felmue and @ajb2k3 thanks for your help

@felmue

Amazing! It works!

Thank you so much

Hello @HolgerRauls

unfortunately M5Core2 v1.1 isn't fully supported in M5Core2 library. See here.

Consider switching to M5Unified library which supports M5Core2 v1.1 to run from MBus 5V.

Thanks

@matthiMarschi This one worked fine for me: M5.Axp.SetLed(0);

Couldn't decide, so I bought both lol.

Each seems to have some different strengths - the Fire has more ports, the cool magnetic base and physical buttons that often work better than touchscreens. As such it's great for tinkering. But the Core 2 seems a bit more 'polished' for portable applications.

@ajb2k3 Thanks for the response. Yes, I had found these before, but there for the FT6336U there is only an .xlsx document with a very brief description of the chip registers.

I am looking for a bit more detail...

@cchakons The error message you have implies that you have the wrong firmware selected for the stick Cplus2

@ajb2k3 Thank you soo much!
I turned off the VPN, and then it worked.

Hello @G3D_Design

please have a look at this simple RTC alarm trigger example in the UIFlow2 Project Zone: M5Core2_RTC_Alarm_Trigger_UIFlow2.1.1

Thanks
Felix

@virgile Have you charged the battery?

@Balboa yes and it can be used to send data it can not be used as a WiFi modem.
You can use it to receive data and commands from sensors to send to the internet just not browse internet

@themaker did you erase the firmware before writing?

@Revilo_oli
With some testing it was found that the core 2 was faulty and it had to be replaced

You can’t directly but if you use thonny, you can retrieve the Micropython code from the controller as its save on the controller as pure text

Looking at the schematics, the RST pin if pulled low, will do the same thing as if S1 is pressed. I assume S1 is the reset button.

I don't have a CORE2, but from experience with some other M5Stack products the function of the reset button depends on whether the device is on external power (e.g. USB) or on battery power.
External power: restarts , battery power: shuts down. (but that is something you can test yourself)
