I wont to make a hardcopy of my screen, and store it on the sd-card. Has someone have done this? I know from the past on the M5Paper this was done, now I wont to do this on the Core-2

Powersoft

@felmue often I use Serial.printf() function, with 90% of my application have the result I wanted! Also add the text background collor as the collor of the screen.

Hello,

Load the Arduino envoirment on a brand new MacBook Pro.
Try to compile The Core2 and the M5Stack fire.

Now I get the message : No module named serial.
On the system is the latest version of python installed.

What to do?

File "/Users/jankromhout/Library/Arduino15/packages/m5stack/tools/esptool_py/3.0.0/esptool.py", line 39, in <module>
import serial
ImportError: No module named serial
exit status 1
Fout bij het compileren voor board M5Stack-FIRE

Found the problem. After deleting an old sdfat and installing a new one it was working perfect on my Core2.
Thanks for hiis fine explanation. Was verry helpfull.

Cheers

Hello, try to compile the first example file and got the error
in thus part:

SdFat32 sd; // for FAT16/FAT32
File32 file;
File32 root;

exit status 1
'File32' does not name a type

do I need to delte file?

Thanks for any help.
Cheers

Is it possible to read/write blocks of 512 bytes direct to the sd card?
This without using the M5Stack filesystem.
I know with the SDFat.h library it is possible, there are commands for readBlock(block,buffer) and writeBlock(block, buffer), and buffer is defined as
byte buffer[512].
But I get not compiled this library under my Core2.
Appreciatie any help with this.

Is it posible to use the stepper module wihout the gcode?
Command the stepper on a direct way to do some steps.

That is no problem, must do some changes because some parts are in my native language, Dutch. But I have no clou how to set my program zipped on the forum.

Thanks Paul for this tool, it is working great.!!

Hello,

Should I prepare something in the your program to get it running?
I have hang in the procedure at the en of my refresh to the screen, start it but notting happens!
Where can I find the output of the log statement?

Are you thinking using an API Call like calling open weather map? I use OWM api to get the weather forecast on my M5Stack. Use alo a kind of marque to present the data 4 times in a hour, an when pushing the B-button. Make also graphs, when pushing the A-button.

Can I use the SPIFFS on the M5StackCore2, or do I need to install something in advance? I use #include "SPIFFS.h.

Make an improvement in the main call routine. The return value of getBME280 is a boolean.
now it is possible to check whether a BME280 is connected correctly.

bool getBME280(TwoWire *theWire, double *t, double *p, double *h)
{
  _i2c = theWire;

  /* check of BME280 is avilable */
  uint8_t value = read8(0xD0);  
  if (value == 0x60)                                    // BME280 detected
  {
    reset_BME280();                                     // Reset BME280      
    write8(BME280_REGISTER_CONTROLHUMID,(uint8_t)0x01); // Select control humidity register
    write8(BME280_REGISTER_CONTROL,     (uint8_t)0x27); // Select control measurement register
    write8(BME280_REGISTER_CONFIG,      (uint8_t)0xA0); // Select config register
    readCoefficients();                                 // Read coefficients from BME280
    *t = get_Temperature();                             // Get temperature
    *p = get_Pressure()/100.0;                          // Get pressure
    *h = get_Humidity();                                // Get Humidity
    return true;
  }
  else
  {
    return false;                                       // No BME280 detected
  }

Because the BME280 library didn't want to work with the M5Paper Wire1 I2c connection, I changed the routines so that they now work.

The adjustment now works for M5Stack, the M5Paper and for the Core2.
I post the complete code here, because I cannot upload a zip file.
he whole consists of:

M5Paper_BME280.uno
BME280.h
BME280_routines

1. M5Paper_BME280.uno

/*
 * BME280 Sensor (Temperature,Pressure, and Humidity) 
 * Is working now also for M5Paper, and testest on all M5Stack devices
 * Rewritten by J.Kromhout (NL)
 * Version 1.0
 * Date : 24-02-2021
 * 
 * Todo:  Beter input for smapling etc.
 *        Making the routine universal for BME280 and BMP280

Thank you for this. I was looking for this!

Cheers,

Today I rewrote the routines for the BMP280 and BME280 for a single device.
Simple include the source into the main program, and call it.
This is now working as I wont. It takes a afternoon of work!
Now put the finishing touches on the BMP280/BME280.

Would it make sense to post them on the forum when they are ready?

Cheers
Jan

Powersoft

I will stop to interface I2C devices to the M5Paper.
Tried to make a connection with various devices, no positive results so far. It is a pity that they have taken this path. Now a number of devices are no longer usable for me on the M5Paper.

Powersoft

@felmue
Is there a principal difference in the I2C approach between the M5Paper and the CORE2?

Powersoft

Felix, I've tried it and for this device it is working. But when I try it with a BMP280 it is not working. I think it is depending on the header of the program.
I will investigate this further.

Cheers,
Jan

Powersoft

Felix,
Sorry, I made a mistake. The address the scanner sees is 0x58, which is correct. The address of the SGP30 is also 0x58.

Still, the test program will not run!

#include <M5EPD.h>
#include <Wire.h>
#include "Adafruit_SGP30.h"

Adafruit_SGP30 sgp;

void setup() {
  M5.begin();
  Serial.println("\n\n=====SGP30 test====");

  if (! sgp.begin()){
    Serial.println("Sensor not found ...........");
    while (1);
  }
  Serial.print("Found SGP30 serial #");
  Serial.print(sgp.serialnumber[0], HEX);
  Serial.print(sgp.serialnumber[1], HEX);
  Serial.println(sgp.serialnumber[2], HEX);
}

void loop()
{
}

This is my message now:

21:20:51.388 -> 
21:20:51.388 -> 
21:20:51.388 -> =====SGP30 test====
21:20:51.388 -> Sensor not found ...........

Hope you can help me out, because this is for me a general problem.
Wont connect several I2C devices to the M5Paper.

Cheers,
Jan
