6. Uputstvo za upotrebu
The M5Stack Core2 is designed for flexible operation depending on your application. Here are general guidelines:
- Interakcija sa ekranom dodirom: Navigate menus and interact with applications using the 2-inch capacitive touch screen.
- Virtuelni dugmići: The three virtual buttons below the screen can be programmed for various functions within your applications.
- Fizička dugmad: The physical RST (Reset) button can be used to restart the device. The power button can be used for power cycling.
- Eksterni moduli: Connect compatible M5Stack modules and sensors to the GROVE port to expand functionality. Ensure proper connection and power supply for external modules.
- Upotreba SD kartice: Insert a microSD card into the designated slot for additional storage. Ensure the card is formatted correctly (e.g., FAT32).
7. Održavanje
Proper maintenance ensures the longevity and optimal performance of your M5Stack Core2:
- čišćenje: Za čišćenje uređaja koristite meku, suhu krpu. Izbjegavajte upotrebu tečnih sredstava za čišćenje ili abrazivnih materijala.
- Skladištenje: Uređaj čuvajte na hladnom i suhom mjestu, dalje od direktne sunčeve svjetlosti i ekstremnih temperatura.
- Održavanje baterije: Avoid fully discharging the battery frequently. If storing for extended periods, charge the battery to about 50-70% to preserve its lifespan.
- Ažuriranja firmvera: Regularly check the official M5Stack webstranica za ažuriranja firmvera kako biste osigurali da vaš uređaj ima najnovije funkcije i ispravke grešaka.
- fizička zaštita: While durable, avoid dropping the device or exposing it to excessive force or moisture.
8. Otkrivanje problema
This section addresses common issues you might encounter with your M5Stack Core2.
- Q1: What is the maximum supported capacity of the SD card, and why is there no response when the SD card is inserted?
- Theoretically, devices based on ESP32 support up to 16GB. We recommend using a SD card model SDSQUNC-016G-ZN6MA. Ensure the SD card is properly inserted and formatted.
- Q2: Using the battery in either of the battery ports on the USB unit or the Core2 forces the unit to stay powered on continuously. Any attempt to shut down using the side button causes the device to restart after.
- We have found that the reason is that the filter capacitor capacity of the USB 1.2 module is too large. If you still need to use batteries to power the Core2 + USB 1.2 solution, to avoid frequent restarts, the following two solutions can be adopted:
- Remove the filter capacitor.
- Replace it with a smaller capacity filter capacitor (10uF is recommended).
- Q3: How to extend the Core2 with an extension module?
- You must remove the original bottom and battery of the Core2, then you can stack another module extension.
