Amazing! It works!

Thank you so much

M5.Power.setExtPower(true/false) is part of M5Unified library.

BTW: I don't see it implemented in M5Core2 library.

Thanks

BLDO2

Hi Felix,

It's me again, meanwhile we switched to Arduino but the function: M5.Power.setExtPower(true/false) causes still an error: 'class M5Core2' has no member named 'Power'

We just can't get this thing working on Core2 v1.1.

Cheers
Oli

Thanks a lot! I think I will switch to Arduino at this point, it's probably more suitable for my application. I will give an update!

Cheers

if you want to stay with UIFlow1 you can use the following I2C blocks to turn external 5 V output on and off:

Thanks
Felix

my previous post assumed you are using Arduino (and not UIFlow).

That said, I can confirm that in UIFlow1 setting the power mode doesn't work for M5Core2 v1.1. (I assume it has not been implemented yet.)

BTW: It works in UIFlow2.

Thanks
Felix

M5.Power.setExtPower(true/false)

Hi Felix

Thank you so much for your response and the help!
I tried to change the code (I use UI Flow 1 and MicroPython), unfortunatelly there always occur errors… Is there maybe a library missing?

If I use the function: M5.Power.setExtPower(true/false) following error occurs:
Name ‘M5’ isn’t defined

If I use the function: power.setExtPower(true/false) following error occurs:
‘Axp2101’ object has no attribute ‘setExtPower’

Thanks!

the function to use is called M5.Power.setExtPower(true/false) which controls BLDO2 / AXP_BoostEN.

Note: turning off only seems to work when M5Core2 v1.1. is running from battery.

Thanks
Felix
