atmega17 / tinkerit Goto Github PK

http://tinkerit.googlecode.com/files/speech_daisybell.pde hangs on Arduino NG 
with a fixed tone

Reported by gomako on Cantarino group.

Updated to Arduino 1.0 with the Arduino.h library, instead of the wiring.h 
library, which is depreciated.

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Install High-Low Tech Attiny support for Arduino
2. Upload test code on Attiny85 @8MHz (1MHz doesn't compile because of ASM 
constraints)

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
No valid DMX output on the selected port. The goal is to use DmxSimple on an 
Attiny to minify the project.

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
Attiny85 @8MHz with usbasp (also tried with Arduino as ISP)

Please provide any additional information below.
Thank you for the help! :)

Request from Tom Igoe: Support a configurable output pin in DmxSimple.
Current version is hardwired to pin 3, and needs advanced skills and
library hacking to change.

DmxSimple currently supports 16MHz clocked ATmega168 and ATmega8.

Add support for 8MHz (Lilypad, some Pros), possibly 20MHz (maximum rate),
ideally for any F_OSC value that is a multiple of 250kHz.

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. load the SerialToDMX sketch
2. Create a Pd Patch which sends Serial data through the object [comport 2 
9600] 
3. Try to send 16 serial messages every 70 ms in order to control 4 RGB lamps

(see attached patch)


What is the expected output? 
changing the light synchronously with the variation of the values in the Pd 
patch.

What do you see instead?
the lights change with a noticeable delay.

Please see attached Pd patch.
When I stop the data flow the light shouldn't change anymore.

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
OS: OSX 10.10.4
Pd-extended
thinker kit DMX master shield COM/T040060
Light source 4 x LA86LED 
(http://www.amazon.co.uk/Lightahead®-DMX512-Colorful-Lighting-Projector/dp/B00U

Compile error when targetting ATmega328P based Arduinos

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. When you use the DmxSimple library with Arduino 1.0, you get compiling 
errors => cannot find "wiring.h"

I'm using a Tinker.it DMX shield v.2 with a Arduino UNO R3.

It seams that with Arduino 1.0, the header file is renamed to Arduino.h.

You can solve it by edition the file "DmxSimple.cpp"
=> change line 12: #include "wiring.h"
to: #include "Arduino.h"

This solves the compiling erros.

Thanks to share your experiances!

There is a bug in the AS3 example.

The following will not work:


var s:SerialPort = new SerialPort("127.0.0.1", 5334);
s.connect();

This will causes a Flash Socket error #1023

If you look at the connect function:

        public function connect( host:String = null, port:int = 0 ):void
        {           
            _socket.connect( host, port );
            trace( "connecting" );
        }

You see that host and string are optional values, and are thus set to their 
defaults of null and zero.

This, the connection is:

_socket.connect(null, 0);

which of course, causes a SocketError.

I have attached an updated version of the class which should fix the issue (I 
havent tested it yet).

While reading the source code of TrueRandom, I have read:
  // Release Analog0, apply internal pullup
  DDRC &= ~_BV(0);
  PORTC |= _BV(1);

Well, I believe you meant "PORTC |= _BV(0)", isn't?

Interrupts are currently off for the entire DMX frame, which makes serial
communication difficult. Could use timer triggered re-interrupts to return
to the foreground for brief periods during the frame.

two links are not working anymore so i deleted them...

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. compiling
2.
3.

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?

Not functioning on Mega2560.

Suspect the Mega1280 conditionals need extending to Mega2560 devices.

also changed the warning into an error if the timer mapping cannot be 
established because the DMX would not work and the Arduino environment hides 
the warnings. 

When previously having called any DmxSimple command and therefore have run 
dmxBegin(), the DmxSimple.usePin() function does not do anything.

This is because r.208 states:

if (dmxStarted && (pin != dmxPin)) { 

while on the previous line:

dmxPin = pin;

the variables are set so to match. This will prevent the if-statement to run.

1. checkout svn 
2. copy Ethernet2 to /opt/arduino/libraries/Ethernet2
3. load the Ethernet2/chat_server demo
4. compile (verify)

First problem is that the chatserver demo has:
 #include <Ethernet.h>
when it needs
 #include <Ethernet2.h>

but then,
Ethernet2/Server.cpp also needs
 #include "Ethernet2.h"
on line 7

If you send data from Flash to TinkerProxy in the onConnect handler, then the 
data does not make it to the Arduino.

Im not sure if this is a Flash or TinkerProxy issue.

For example:

private function onConnect(event:Event):void
{
     _socket.writeByte(1);
}

Wont make it to the Arduino.

The workaround is the wait two seconds after connect before you send data.

private function onConnect( event:Event ):void
{
    trace( "onConnect" );

    if(!connectDelayTimer)
    {
        connectDelayTimer = new Timer(2000);
        connectDelayTimer.addEventListener(TimerEvent.TIMER, onConnectDelayTimer);
    }

    connectDelayTimer.start();

}

private function onConnectDelayTimer(event:TimerEvent):void
{
    trace("onConnectDelayTimer");
    connectDelayTimer.stop();
        _socket.writeByte(1);
}

Again, Im not sure if this is a Flash or TinkerProxy issue, but wanted to post 
it here in case it is a TinkerProxy issue, and in case anyone else runs into it.

Btw, I tested this in Adobe AIR, and not in the Flash Player in the browser.

Using SimpleDMX currently disables three PWM pins. Minimise by changing
timers, and/or how they are used.

DmxSimple not compatible with Arduino Mega

This patch fixes issue #18.

You guys did a great job at reducing the size of compiled library! I've
been having problems with both the standard ethernet library and the
Ethernet2 library.

Here's a topic that describes the problem (demo code added).

Can someone please have a look at this issue? We bought a bunch of ethernet
shields for a project, but we can't use them because of this bug..

Any help or suggestions are greatly appreciated!

Thanks,

Provide more interrupt windows where serial receive interrupts can be serviced.

Doing this every 40µs (during the stop period of a DMX channel
transmission) would allow baud rates of up to 125000 baud.

Compiling default code results in a compile error not being able to find 
wiring.h  Line 11 of DmxSimple.cpp needs to read #include "Arduino.h", not 
#include "wiring.h".  Running Arudino v.1.0 on Linux Mint 15.  Found the answer 
here: http://forum.arduino.cc/index.php/topic,85547.0.html

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. upload the scretch

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
a serial output at about 21000 (21°C), but I get something at 249400
(249,4°C?!)

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
Arduino Duemilanove with a ATMEGA 328p-pu

Don't know what to add here :)
