    • RE: Don't know what to use

      Hi all,

      Another report here.

      Almost everything is ready.
      I'm quite sure the RFID2 reader won't do the job because of its short reading range; let's try and improve if required.
      I will certainly have to give this reader a try. (already ordered)

      1 question I had while testing: TOF and RFID2 seems to need Ports A or E. But Port E never worked (the unit is seen as "not connected" by the Core); forcing me to use a PaHub which is a pity because I have plenty of available ports with the ExtPort extension.
      Someone able to help me understanding why ? (If I could use port E; I could completely remove the PaHub)

      Here is the current setup:

      Last thing to do to complete the prototype: get a 12v --> 5V USB connector in order to power the M5 Core + 12v DC motor with a single source.

      Here is a simple UIFlow to check every component works correctly:

      Hello all,

      Last part done (single power supply for M5 core + DC motor)
      I was also able to remove the PaHub by using the ExtPort (Port D). I had to change the dip switch value to:

      • Port D-1[2] = ON (to use GPIO22)
      • Port D-2[2] = ON (to use GPIO21)

      I then had to change the TOF module's port config in UIFlow to use the Port D:

      Final diagram:

      NB: DC(12v) to USB(5v) converter link

      Now let's get physcal parts printed and test it !

      Best regards
