With a little "wait_ms()" its more clear what you mean :-)

from m5stack import *
from m5ui import *
from uiflow import *

setScreenColor(0x111111)
label1 = M5TextBox(05, 05, "a", lcd.FONT_Default,0xFFFFFF, rotate=0)
label2 = M5TextBox(05, 20, "x", lcd.FONT_Default,0xFFFFFF, rotate=0)
label0 = M5TextBox(16, 50, "A", lcd.FONT_DejaVu72,0xFFFFFF, rotate=0)

for angle in range(91):
  label0.setRotate(angle)
  label1.setText('angle:' + str(angle))
  wait_ms(50)

for posX in range(16, 256):
  label0.setPosition(x=posX)
  label2.setText('pos-x:' + str(posX))
  wait_ms(100)

I am sure it is ones more a bug :-)
You can check this, if you let the angle zero. You can see that the char disappears at pos-x = 33. And the same behavior occurs, if you have rotated the char. It is obviously one more of the uncountable bugs.

@M5Stack: Why does the M5Stack not draw a char if a small part is outside of the screen? We can display a char half way, if it is rotated, but not if it is at angle 0 degrees. That makes no sense. Maybe someone would like to program a scrolling text so that chars appears on the right and disappears on the left.

@ajb2k3 said in GPS Unit (AT6558):

@M5StickFreakler what firmware are you running on your devices?
I am checking through items at the moment and finding problems due to the switch to the mainstream micropython branch.

Hi ajb2k3

I have checked it with UIFLOW 1.0.9.1 and following firmwares

• 1.2.3 --> not supported
• 1.3.2 --> NOK
• 1.4.4 --> NOK
• 1.4.5 --> NOK
• 1.4.5.1 --> NOK
• 1.5.0 --> NOK
• 1.5.1 --> NOK

Nothing is working. I have tested it on 3 different M5Stack FIRE with 3 different GPS units.
Each on all ports - nada

It is very frustrating and time consumpting and costly. I think M5Stack should increase its quality standards. Here in Switzerland, we are used to the fact that products work what they promise and what we pay for.

Best wished

I've got it.

I can start new threads with:

import _thread as th
th.start_new_thread(....)

Cool stuff :-)
