M5Stack Basic Code

Python
First of all, the UI is designed to simulate the supermarket. It consists of three parts: title bar, content bar and control button.
Title Block: display M5 SIM supermarket
Content column: commodity name, weight, unit price and total price
Control bar: Apple button, walnut button and print button
Because it's a simulation supermarket, you can use the three buttons of m5stack basic to provide apple and walnut options. You can also use the M5 face kit or the newly produced card keyboard kit to expand your options.
In addition to the UI, console programming mainly includes several parts:
The first is the programming of the electronic scale. This part needs to realize the connection and debugging between the master control and the electronic scale. The wiring has been shown on the first floor. Note that VCC I choose 3.3V. The software part mainly relies on an hx711 library, and the detailed call mode. The player can refer to my electronic scale post. Here, the calibration coefficient is still saved in a TXT file and stored in the main control. Because uiflow can easily keep multiple function programs in the main control, I also upload the calibration program of the electronic scale to the main control. Players can use 100g / 200g weight to calibrate according to the temperature change (for example, the seasonal change has an impact on the deformation sensor). The calibration results are stored in the txt file, which is convenient to call.
The second is the programming of UART. We choose UART2 as the port of data delivery. Because we need to transfer four sets of data, such as goods, unit price, weight and total price, we use JSON format to transfer them.
The third is the programming of button trap, which is relatively simple. Respond to the trigger of three buttons, among which apple and walnut will update the product name and unit price, while print button will send the assembled JSON through UART2.
Here is the code of the console. The notes are clear. You can understand it with the first floor. The tool we use is the plug-in of vscode + m5stack, which is very convenient for debugging. When downloading the program, we use the wonderful little tool of upyloder.
# date 2019-09-25
##Uiflow design UI to realize electronic scale
# 0914 ----- Solved UART sending unit price + weighing data + total price + product name

# 0924 ----- The first joint commissioning with Arduino

# 0925 ----- Combined with Arduino Pro Mini 5V / 16m, the price roughly refers to the market price, apple 15 (Walnut 31 yuan) / kg finishing

Arduino pro mini Code

Arduino
The code of the controller consists of two parts:
One is to define two soft serial ports, one for receiving the product information in JSON format from m5stack. The second is used to issue printing instructions to the thermal printer. It is necessary to switch Listening between two soft serial ports. I also used special notes on the first floor. Otherwise, it will not work normally.
Second, we need to analyze the JSON format data from m5stack. We use the famous arduinojson library. The current version is 6.12. Please go to arduinojson.org for details. Because this time we only need to parse four data, so we use a layer of JSON format. Arduinojson.org provides a JSON assistant, which is very convenient for you to design JSON strings and related code, memory allocation and other auxiliary work.
