Hello there. I have a project, where I would like to control the OLA using a button. Short press to start/stop logging and long press to possibly configure to handle another function using bluetooth. I picked up a qwiic button but it appears due to i2C clock stretching it wont work. I read the docs, and can do some stuff with powering on/off using a button but I would like to keep the OLA on. Any possibility, and if no, any ideas on a board that can do BLE, IMU and buttons? TIA.
You could hook up a momentary switch to the RST + GND, or wire an MCU to send/connect similar via software control
Or swap to a logger that has more interfacing options (the OLA is mostly meant as plug-and-play)…check out the IoT which does stay powered on upon RESET push/short (note it also has BLE/BT)
Thanks for the reply, much appreciated.
Yeah, the reset and ground isnt an option for my use case. Based on the limitations on this device, I decided to go a different direction with the board (Audrino 33 IoT and modules).
It would be nice, however, that the documents are updated so that folks who think the Qwiic button will work are not mislead. The inconsistencies between the website, guides, forums, and the repos are numerous. But then again it appears this is more of a generic device, for simple projects. Cheers.
