Hello,
Erik thanks for a great board!
I'm working on a project and hit a block. I just dont yet understand enough about the arduino environment to figure it out.
Im working on a DMX lighting controller as a volunteer effort for a local youth theatre group.
Its a PS2 mouse based controller with a couple slide potentiometers.
Here's a little background on where I'm at:
breadboard
wiring
ps2 mouse
SN75176BP (rs486 chip for the DMX output)
The DMX circuit, PS2 interface to the input pins, and the poteniometer are all working well.
Aside from smoothing the slide values which I think needs a good enough bit level even at the suggested 10K range, might still be some interference , the breadboard wiring loops might still be picking up noise. All that I'll get sorted out.
I started out on a rev3 Arduino UNO and all the various parts worked well separately and tested.
I got to the point of working out all the PS2 init code and got all the X Y X movements and slider values to send solid value to Serial.print. Aside from the smoothing that either 12 bits resolution will fix or better physical analog input.
At this point I'd tested the DMX layer by sending solid DMX data from the UNO to another DMX USB receiver and was seeing output.
Now I needed to put all the parts together...
loop() locks up so I decided it was time to grab the Digix and test the resolution at 12 bit... Helped! Not perfect but much better...
but when I but all the code together and have the PS2 , analog sliders, serial.prints and DMX output all together, loop consistently locks up on the second loop.
At this point as many of you more experienced Arduino developers surely know....
None of the libraries that expected specific boards worked
I'm deep into trying to just force the library into the future trying to learning enough about the various boards to help myself through __SAM3XA__ __AVR_ATmega...__ details to see if I can get the code to compile
Brute force to jump start what I suspect is going to be a long learning curve, but I'll get there...
I want to thank erik for a quick tip __SAM3XA__ the old libraries many arent Due aware
the DmxMaster library no only not being Due aware also blocks interrupts... DMX timing is very critical and the library calls cli() sei() which werent defined with the board type set to DigiX, I hopefully took care of that by simply changing code to NoInterrupt() and interrupt()
I had to commment out :
//#include <avr/io.h>
//#include <util/delay.h>
I'm still trying to find them. I installed 1.5.4, so maybe they are only in the old version of the arduino IDE...
my C isnt that string but is going to get better by spring time, I have a good time line , this volunteer project isnt urgent.
My electronics isn't strong, but good enough to get by and google my why through to making progress.
At the moment I have a controller and code issue.
I enabled the check boxes to show the compile and error details. Not sre if there are others but this seems to output enough to post
I suspect __SAM3XA__ is going to need to make an appearance in the code along with what I'm going to have to learn about the chipset changes...
So, where do I begin?
Thanks,
Paul
