If I recall correctly coulees must be specified as touples and not single vales for example:
0,0,0 for off or 255,255,255 for on

@wwhite don’t know about circuit python but mainstream python can be installed using the Thonny IDE
I have 1.19 running on M5Stamps at the moment but you have to remember that Mainsteam MP won’t have the M5Stack specific libraries

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.

Thanks #teastain that works!

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

Thanks again.

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.

Hello guys

the M5Stack incorporates the IP5306 as power management chip which has an auto shutdown feature (under light load) when running from battery.

The default light load shutdown time is set to 32 seconds. (Other options are 8, 16 and 64 seconds.) Unfortunately I do not see a register or bit in the IP5306 which would allow to turn off that feature. Also what amperage counts as light load I do not know.

In my simulation my M5Stack was turned off by that feature by putting the ESP32 into light sleep for about a minute. (In light sleep the current was about 28 mA.)

BTW: only turning off the screen backlight did not trigger the auto shutdown as the remaining current (about 68 mA) was still high enough I guess.

If indeed the shutdown feature under light load is what turns your M5Stack off, then I guess it is dependent on the program you are running on your M5Stack and how much power it consumes at a given time.

Thanks

I also have an Atom GPS module and a LoRaWAN868 module. I plan to use both of them together to track my bike. I already got the GPS running using ESPHome. Unfortunately there seems to be no LoRa integration into ESPHome.

Hello! Please help me I still get this error: Check your network status and retry.. I have tried my phone's personal hotspot as well as the house WIFI. But still could not get the token. Please help would really much appreciate the help

Hello @wwhite

not sure I understand what you mean exactly - are you looking for an element which would take text input from the user? E.g. with an onscreen keyboard? I don't think that already exists, but I could be wrong about that.

Regarding M5Paper locking up. Is your M5Paper connected to USB when this happens? If not, you might need to charge the battery. It takes about 2 hours to fully charge the battery. Unfortunately M5Paper doesn't have an accurate way to tell what the battery charge is.

Thanks

I got it working by reinstalling the cameraTools application. The URL is http://192.168.1.x:81/

Hello @wwhite

you'll need to click onto the [+] button (on the left, below M5Paper) and add the RFID unit first. Then it will show up in the Units menu.

Thanks
Felix

P.S. If you do not see the [+] button you could try with a different browser. I have the best UIFlow experience with Chrome.

Hello, in visual studio code do you use micropython or arduino C? if it's arduino C it should work right away.

@world101 So I figured it out:

On that particular module I connected it as follows:

Left pin on module labeled 'S' to 5v on the righthand side of M5Stack (red wire)
Center pin on module (not labeled) to GND on the righthand side of M5Stack (yellow wire)
Right pin on module labeled '--' to pin 2 on the righthand side of the M5Stack (orange wire)
After you compile and upload the app tap the module to see the "Tap" message.

Hello, what code are you trying to write is it MicroPython or Arduino C?
