@felmue plugging it into a 12VDC 3A power supply makes it work fine on all of my devices, so it was just power draw issue.

It was meant for keeping the RTC accurate, but it even did a bad job at that.

Whenever I plug a Cat-M1 module (Including Cat-M1+GNSS) into a core it refuses to turn on even when plugged in, and when I plugged it into an AtomU the computer the AtomU was plugged into momentarily showed a blank screen and didn’t accept input, in a StickC-Plus it worked fine on startup but anytime I ran a program, It just showed a blank screen. I’m not sure if this is a power draw issue, user error, bad manufacturing (but I wouldn’t expect that from M5), or something else.

Whatever program I run always returns a blank white screen until the device is reset. This happens with all the code I’ve attempted to run, but it’s random.

M5 said that the battery lasted for not a lot of time, meaning that after about 12 hours it’s dead. So they removed it from later versions. If anyone has a later version and wants to solder their own battery the model is MS614SE-FL28E .
(My StickC-Plus is a V1.2, so all 1.1-1.2 versions don’t have it)

@ajb2k3 I said “Bala2” I don’t have a BalaC. (I just realized that the way I phrased this comment sounds rude, sorry about that, I’m not trying to be rude.)

Has anyone made a balance loop for Bala2 in UiFlow just using blocks? I recently started to work on mine, but messed up a motor testing my own program, and I don’t want to risk breaking mine even further. If anyone does have one, could you please put the .m5f file/ a link to the file in the comments. Any help is appreciated!

@felmue it’s physically missing from the board.

@felmue I just noticed that my StickC Plus doesn’t have a RTC backup battery. Is that a problem?

@felmue Thank you very much!
