Hello
Any chance to include M5STack Tough support in Annex32? The web interface seems to work fine (although I have not tested all HW features), but TFT does not work. It has the same ILI9342C controller as other M5STACK controllers, but the HW interface appears to be slightly different.
Best regards, Asko

waterproof, touchscreen, 8mb psram, 16mb flash
Those are the best specs I've seen, but at 60 quid I suppose you get what you pay for, and the price is more likely to go up than down.

Re: M5STACK Tough support
It looks that the LCD is wired differently and it uses also another power controller and another touch screen controller.[Local Link Removed for Guests] wrote: [Local Link Removed for Guests]Sun Feb 27, 2022 10:58 am Hello

Quite expensive to buy one an play with ...

Re: M5STACK Tough support
Although the M5Tough is expensive, for an operational system it can be quite useful:
- No hardware engineering is needed, which helps if you need an off-the-shelf part that can be replaced easily without building a motherboard
- all inputs (power, GPIO, i2c) are connected via standard plugs
- it can work off a 12v supply using its own dc/dc convertor
- the display is built in
- the casing is robust and easily mounted
- and of course it has loads of ram
Not suited to your average hobby project but for something that has to work 24 x 7 and be maintainable long-term, pretty much ideal.

Re: M5STACK Tough support
I have looked at this in the past but it's not clear to me; how to run wiring to it. I realize that there is a cable entry for power but does that mean a 2nd cable entry for field-wiring? Would be a bit of an eye-sore with two cable entries.

Re: M5STACK Tough support
I only just saw this post, sorry for the delay! In case still useful for anyone ..
My connections to the M5Tough are simple: remove the provided power cable and the seal; add an i2c cable and a gpio connection through the hole. The i2c is for any digital inputs and outputs, via an MCP23017 i2c multiplexor, which gives you 16 pins. The GPIO, if needed, is for temperature sensors, only one gpio is needed for any number. It isn't waterproof and I don't need it to be, but the encapsulation makes it very simple to use for an operational system.
