I've got it.

I can start new threads with:

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

Cool stuff :-)

@noiseislife

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
