1 / 2
Start Visuino as shown in the first picture Click on the "Tools" button on the Arduino component (Picture 1) in Visuino When the dialog appears, select "M5 Stack Core" as shown on Picture 2
Step 3: In Visuino Add & Set Components1 / 6
- Add "Digital Multi Source" component
- Select "M5 Stack Core" and in the properties window expand "Modules" > "WiFi" > "Operations" and click on the 3 dots button.
- In "Operations" window drag "Scan WiFi Networks" to the left side
- In the properties window set "Show Hidden" to True, this way we will also be able to se hidden networks
- Close the "Operations" window
- Select "M5 Stack Core" and in the properties window expand "Modules" > "TFT Display" > "Elements" and click on the 3 dots button.
- In the "Elements" window drag "Fill Screen" to the left side and close the window
1 / 3
- Connect "M5 Stack Core" pin Out (B) to "DigitalMultiSource1" pin [In]
- Connect "DigitalMultiSource1" pin [0] to "M5 Stack Core" > "Fill Screen1" pin [Clock]"
- Connect "DigitalMultiSource1" pin [1] to "M5 Stack Core" > "Fill Screen1" pin [Scan]"
- Connect "M5 Stack Core" > pin "SSID" to "M5 Stack Core" >"TFT Display" pin "In"
In Visuino, at the bottom click on the "Build" Tab, make sure the correct port is selected, then click on the "Compile/Build and Upload" button.
Step 6: PlayIf you power the M5 Stack Core module and click on the B button, the module will start scanning for WiFi networks. After the scanning is finished you will be able to se on the display the names of the WiFi networks around.
