I completely agree. M5stack is a wonderful product but lack of support and documentation is the issue.

I am working on a tracked platform project where the the servos are controlled by imu of m5stackfire and sbus signal received from an RC receiver. My coding skills are limited so I am using and esp32 to read the sbus signal and transmit it to m5stack fire which I program using uiflow.

My problem is that the reading speed of m5stack fire is very slow and it is loosing synchronization with the ESP32 and crashing the program. I tried different baud rates and different amount of delay and best I could have is 50microseconds delay on the ESP32 side. With this setup m5stack reads the signals with a huge delay and the correction comes late failing making it impossible to control the servos and motor controllers. ESP32 to computer and ESP32 to Arduino works flawlessly but I could not find a solution for m5stack fire with uiflow.
I am adding the codes of both ESP32 and the Uiflow. Any help will be greatly appreciated as I am getting frustrated.


Hope you still consider adding sbus blocks to uiflow. It would be very useful with all the servo controller units available for m5stack products.

I have the M5Stack fire (Version:2018.2A) but having difficulties in getting magnometer data.
Previously uiflow had the block get Z but it is removed at a later stage.
I tried below Arduino code but readings are incorrect.
Could anyone assist?

I would like to use some servos based on the object detection coordinates coming from jetson nano through USB.
Somehow coordinates are being updated later and later as the time passes.
I have added the simple test code.( image url)

I cant make lego+ aka dc motor module.
It gives error" moduel' object has no attribute Legoboard.
Can anyone assist?

Do the blocks in uiflow also support lora modue? https://m5stack.com/collections/m5-module/products/lora-module I always get an error loranwan not connect.

Just to confirm. I am using M5stick OLED, not M5stickC. Does latest firmware also work with M5stick OLED?

I erased the firmware a couple of times and managed to have it working with firmware version 1.2.3. Other versions did not work. Am I doing sth wrong or m5strick oled is only working with version 1.2.3
I am using windows 10 and uiflow.
