CardKB on m5stack core 2

[Shally1986]

How to use the cardkb with m5stack core2 . I connected both using grove connector . From cfg started cardKB , but no inputs

CardKB is detected at start up, and plugged to the red port

Maybe the CardKB may take a small time to initiate, so just press RST to restart your Core2..

When you're on the main menu, you can use the buttons on the left side to navigate, Enter/Return to select, and the keyboard to type passwords and filenames.

I tried both latest and stable version of the launcher on core2 . CardKB is not detected even after RST . I checked the cardkb using micropython code on different dev board . It works fine

if you are using CardKb2, it must be in I2C mode.

Mode Switching (Fn + Sym + Number Key): The selected mode is saved automatically and persists after power cycling.

Fn + Sym + 1: Switch to I2C mode (factory default) — white LED blinks 1 time
Fn + Sym + 2: Switch to UART mode — white LED blinks 2 times
Fn + Sym + 3: Switch to ESP-NOW broadcast mode — white LED blinks 3 times
Fn + Sym + 4: Switch to BLE HID mode — white LED blinks 4 times

Hello ,
Thanks for responding . I have cardKB1.1 which has only i2c

The cardkb takes some time to start, so it fails on the first attempt..

I will start it a little bit later in the process, to give it time to start properly.. lets see if it helps

Please close the issue . I had connected the goplus 2 module to the core2 . After watching your video I removed it and tried on stock core 2 . Worked exactly as in the video
