Does anyone have an example using low level neopixel functions. I've tried this with the HEX RGB Board with no luck:

import esp

I'm not sure what goes in grb_buy I took a guess.

grb_buf = [0] = 0
grb_buf = [1] = 255
grb_buf = [2] = 0
esp.neopixel_write(26, grb_buf, is80khz)

I wanted to try this CircuitPython https://circuitpython.org/board/m5stack_atom_lite/

or

v1.9.1 from here https://micropython.org/download/M5STACK_ATOM/

Thanks for responding.

Does the Atom Lite come with the latest firmware installed or is there a newer version than Micropython-1.12? I found some firmware on the MicroPython site but when I load it everything appears to go as expected but then I can't reach my Atom Lite via VSCode afterwards. I can put everything back using M5Burner but wanted the newer firmware. Has anyone else trien to update the firmware and if so where did you find it and what version did you use? Thanks in advance.

Here are the results of my attemp showing no errors:

python -m esptool --chip esp32 --port COM11 write_flash -z 0x1000 M5STACK_ATOM-20220618-v1.19.1.bin

Ok, I got the HEX RGB LED to work with the Atom Lite. Using the code below everything works as expected but there is an occasional stray LED lighting up in a completely different color. Does anyone know what might be causing that?

from neopixel import NeoPixel
from machine import Pin
from time import sleep

np = NeoPixel(Pin(26), 37)
n = 0
while True:
np[n] = (0, 0, 0)
if n < 36:
n += 1
else:
n = 0
np[n] = (10, 0, 0)
np.write()
sleep(0.2)

Thanks folks.

Does anyone know where I can find an example using the Atom Lite with the HEX?

I noticed when searching Google most Dupont cables are 2.54mm is this the best size for a snug connection on the various M5Stack controllers?

Thanks #teastain that works!

I simply changed ADXL345 accel(ADXL345_STD) to ADXL345 accel(ADXL345_ALT) in example code ReadXYZ.ino.

Thanks again.

Thanks ajb2k3. I have established that I have an I2C device at address 0x53. The device is a Seeed Studio101020054 Grove - 3-Axis Digital Accelerometer. Now how do I read a value from that address?

Thanks again.

I'm trying to connect this Seeed Studio button but not having any luck https://www.seeedstudio.com/Grove-Button.html.

Here is the code:

#include <M5Stack.h>

int last_value = 0;
int cur_value = 0;

void setup() {
M5.begin(); // Init M5Stack.
M5.Power.begin(); // Init power.
pinMode(21, INPUT); // set pin mode to input.
M5.Lcd.setTextColor(YELLOW); // Set the font color to yellow.
M5.Lcd.setTextSize(2); // Setting the Font size.
M5.Lcd.setCursor(80, 0); // Set the cursor position to (80,0).
M5.Lcd.println("Button example");
M5.Lcd.setTextColor(WHITE);
}

void loop() {
cur_value = digitalRead(21); // read the value of BUTTON.
M5.Lcd.setCursor(80, 25);
M5.Lcd.print("Button");
M5.Lcd.setCursor(0, 45);
M5.Lcd.print("Value: ");
M5.Lcd.setCursor(0, 85);
M5.Lcd.print("State: ");
if (cur_value != last_value) {
M5.Lcd.fillRect(85, 45, 75, 85, BLACK); // Draw a black rectangle 75 by 85 at (85,45).
if (cur_value == 0) {
M5.Lcd.setCursor(95, 45);
M5.Lcd.print("0"); // display the status
M5.Lcd.setCursor(95, 85);
M5.Lcd.print("pre");
} else {
M5.Lcd.setCursor(95, 45);
M5.Lcd.print("1"); // display the status
M5.Lcd.setCursor(95, 85);
M5.Lcd.print("rel");
}
last_value = cur_value;
}
}

Thanks in advance.

Thanks for responding ajb2k3. I'm certain it's the M5Core version I'm installing. I wrote to M5Stack for information regard a replacement and what the cost would be.

I have a M5Core version 2.4 which has nothing on the display. I can see the backlight come on but that's it. This is an older device but I've never used it before as I purchased multiple units. I can see it on the com port and communicate with it via M5Burner. I've erased it and tried different version of UIFlow to no avail. Does anyone have any ideas or is it dead? Thanks in advance.

Why are timer camera F pictures taken mirrored? What's on the left side of the picture is what should be on the right side. It's as if taking a selfie in the mirror. I'm using the TimerFolderPusher v1.2 burned via M5Burner. Thanks in advance.

Thanks for responding Felix,

I'm using a M5Stack.
The red light on the AAA battery holder stays lit when the app stops.
My program calls an api on the internet and displays 8 lines of text.
The app will run nonstop when using USB power and perform as intended.

My M5 Core turns off after a few minutes using Base AAA Battery Holder. I have to press the power button to turn it on again. Is there some sort of power management taking place behind the scenes? Has anyone experienced this issue?

@felmue I purchased a M5Stack LoRaWan 915mhz device and connected it to the Atom and was able to connect and send data to the Helium network https://www.helium.com/ now I need to see if I can get it going with the GPS too.

@felmue Thanks for the input. I wasn't sure what could be connected to the Grove port and didn't want to just plug in the LoRaWAN module and damage the Atom. I'm going to give it a go. Thanks again.

I have an ATOMIC SPS device and would like to connect the Unit LoRaWAN915 to it. Is that possible and has anyone had any luck doing it?

How do I get a token to use with the TimerCam example? I've tried countless times and always get the message "Error: Get token failed. Check your network status and retry.." Obviously my network is fine because I'm posting this question.

Thanks in advance.

I'm unable to connect to my Timer Camera F using UIFlow. I get the message "Upload code failed maybe your device is offline. Check it and try again. I can connect and upload code in the Arduino editor using the same com port. Thoughts?
