M5Stack 8-Angle Unit Test and Guide
What is the M5Stack 8-Angle Unit
Features
-
Eight Potentiometers: Each potentiometer allows for fine-grained control of a specific parameter or function.
-
STM32F030 Microcontroller: This onboard microcontroller handles data acquisition and communication, ensuring efficient performance.
-
I2C Communication: The unit communicates with the host device (such as an M5Stack Core) using the I2C protocol.
-
RGB LEDs: Each potentiometer has an associated RGB LED, which can be used to visually represent the potentiometer's position or other status information.
-
Toggle Switch: A physical toggle switch with its own RGB LED provides additional digital input capabilities.
Applications
The 8-angle Unit is suitable for various applications that require multiple analog inputs, such as:
-
Robotics: Control the movement of multiple motors or servos.
-
Industrial Automation: Adjust parameters in machinery or control systems.
-
Music and Audio: Create custom MIDI controllers or effects processors.
-
Gaming: Develop unique game controllers with analog input.
How to Use the M5Stack 8-Angle Unit
Step1
First of all, we need to burn the M5Stck UIflow2.0 into our Core2.
If you don't know how to burn UIflow into Core2, please look at this article:
M5Stack Beginner Guide: Burning Firmware with M5Burner Tool
When you see this program in your core2, it means UIflow2.0 worked
Step2
Let's connect the hardware
Use our Grove cable (Included in 8-angle unit package) to connect M5Stack 8-Angle Unit and M5Stack Core2 like this.
Note: the red interface in M5Stack means I2C interface. If you need I2C, connect the unit red interface to the microcontroller red interface.
Step3
Open the UIflow2.0, and we can find our device
Add unit, choose 8Angle, select Bus to i2c0
Step4
Add 4 labels to the core2 screen
Step5
Setup channel 1 like this, and burn it into M5Stack core2:
Have fun with your M5Stack 8-Angle Unit!
