Hi, I am working on creating my won custom firmware and driver (for arduino and ascom driver) for a school project and just for fun. The driver is mostly written and connects to the arduino with the firmware I have installed. I can move the focuser in NINA and checking the logs it work properly and the IsMoving property is updating correctly. However, I have noticed that when I am using your driver and software and set a target position the driver also updates the position of the focuser while it...

I have created, based on the wonderful work of Mr. Brownrb, an Android app to control the focuser via Bluetooth. It has a high contrast interface, useful for night sessions. What's new: Once you have found the associated device you can use the app in two ways: 1 - Advanced: which implements all the focuser control functions 2 - Basic: which allows you to control the focuser in a more direct and simple way (e.g. for observation sessions). Hoping to do something nice, I attach the .apk file

Not all buzzers are the same. Obviously a 3 pin buzzer is different, the parts list recommended a pin buzzer, so if you buy different items then you can except a higher chance of things "not working" :-) Regards Robert

Its okay to attach the files to a reply. If you can make a zip file, add a text explanation detailing the hardwarem where to purchase, arduino IDE settings (screenshot is ok) and a picture of finished focuser (I mean the board etc so people can see what it looks like, then I can add that into the Firmware folder and reference it in the next PDF userguide for the is project, many thanks Robert

Problem solved, by changing 0 to 1 and 1 to 0, i guess for Active Buzzer its reverse logic.
-
Using PCB A4998_M_MT_F_BT (temp probe, LED, Buzzer + OLED) Once i power on the buzzer is continuously On, i am using a 3 pin type buzzer with VIN, Trigger connected to A3 and GND pins. config file is attached.

DGEDGEDGE posted a comment on discussion General Discussion
After some errors in modifications I now have a code which works, and integration with Indi Driver is OK. Where to post the main modifications ? As a return of experience, the modifications are very low and are mainly : 1- Change Serial in Serial1 and serialEvent in serialEvent1 2- Change in rebot code. 3- change in float/double access. I did not include any screen and temperature sensor.
-
If I succeed I will have an implementation of the code compatible with teensy vi CPP def variables. How to propose this modification ?
-
Next Step: change the serial which is the USB serial to a real serila to cennect to a raspberry. via the serial.
-
I found the issue. This is due to the way the reboot is requested and done on the arduino. So I changes the following : void software_Reboot() { // begin DGEDGEDGE // asm volatile("jmp 0"); // jump to the start of the program Serial.println("Redémarrage du Teensy..."); SCB_AIRCR = 0x05FA0004; // Forcer un redémarrage // End DGEDGEDGE } In summary save the hardware, the pin allocation, I made 2 modifications to have the software compile on the teensy : 1- The reboot instruction in the current port.....

After correction that issue I ended to the following which seems much more complicated....

First of all, thanks for all the efforts put into creating this product! I built a simple version of it - PCB DRV8825_M_MT_F_BT, Arduino Nano + DRV8825 + thermal sensor, no other hardware is used (no Bluetooth, buttons etc.). I used the package MyFP2_DRV8825_338. The version for myFP2W is 2.5.1.3 . My issue is that I cannot connect to the board from myFP2W. Judging from the Log, it passes multiple tests, but then fails the backlashinenable test: ReceiveResponse Controller response: 4255 Read_backlashinenable...

As I said before in an earlier post The ms1-ms2 etc lines DO NOT CHANGE STEP MODE for the TMC driver chips. Changing those lines WILL NOT CHANGE STEP MODE

i 100% agree on the step size overkill that's why I'm trying to get to the 1/2 step size that's supposed to be possible via the ms1 ms2 pin. but changing the ms1 ms2 pins the resume was very much not what the spec said they should be... if i can get from 1600 steps per rec to 400 steps as a 1/2 should be, my backlash would only be 1600. Sharpcap max out at 5000 steps for backlash compensation, so even 1/4 at 800 would have still been enough at 3200 steps.

3) The MS1 MS2 config does change the step mode The MS1-MS2 pins are not required for TMC, as I posted earlier, step mode is changed using a serial connection to the TMC chip. All command settings for the TMC is over the serial connection. Only DIR, ENABLE and DIRECTION are required. If you have 6500 steps of backlash then I would comment that your step size is extremely overkill. Another piece of advice, For an SCT you should be looking at running the stepper motor in FULL stepmode for that very...
-
Thank you! 1) I used BTT TMC2208 because I had them left over from my 3D printer projects. I can buy some 8825 i guess, using the solderless version because my solder skill is very bad and the driver board and nano shield keep things cleaner for me. 2) I updated the arduino nano to the TMC2225 firmware and it didn't make a difference. 3) The MS1 MS2 config does change the step mode but not in a way matching documentation neither in expected step count or even the expected microstep ratio, I tested...
-
Hi Leo That is not how TMC chips work. You cant program a TMC like that. The stepper behavoir you are describing is a DRV8825 chip, not TMC. The TMC steppers are much more difficult to get right. Step mode is not handled the same way as for the drv8825. Big tree recommend that stepper motors are set to 1/4 step mode. Then, interpolation is enabled which the stepper will automatically use higher step modes as required. The firmware does this. Once configured for 1/4 stepping that is all, and users...
-
using tmc2208 stepper drive and drv8825 solderless firmware I'm expecting 400 steps per revolution in half step mode but I'm needing to 1600 steps to complete a revolution? i have tried all 4 combination of ms1 and ms2 for tmc2208 and this is the smallest.... the largest need 12800 steps so everything seem to be 4x more?

Hi Robert, Since forwarding Arduino Libraries on Onedrive which I did not wish to use any Documents on it. I have also found Arduino Libraries on Documents on my hard drive. I do not know which Libray the Arduino IDE is using. I have copied OneWire onto the Document version of Onedrive onto the Hard drive of my laptop but it still fails to compile. I just wish Microsoft just updates and alters settings, which I am blaming for multi versions of libraries. Regards Charles Clark

Hi Charles It looks like you edited one of the files display.h line 16-17-18 which looks like, LCD1602 16 characters (0-15), 2 lines (0-1) // LCD1604 16 characters (0-15), 4 lines (0-3) LCDADDRESS 0x3f so the compiler tries to interpret those extra text comments as code, which they are not. When I delete those three lines and try a recompile I get a good result Sketch uses 22264 bytes (72%) of program storage space. Maximum is 30720 bytes. Global variables use 888 bytes (43%) of dynamic memory, leaving...

Hi Robert, thanks for your prompt reply. I have found that in my documents users folder are in Onedrive and there are two libraries for one reason I don't know one library is in Arduino folder and one in documents. I think they are both information in both libraries but I do not know if this causes a problem. may be one library is left when I uninstalled IDE 1.8.18 I have zipped up the Documents with both Libraries Hope this gives you the information you requested

Hi Apologes for late reply. The sysinfo does not help much. I see that both are Pro, which I also run. Can you use Control panel, then look for Net Framework like in the attached screenshot? I have done some searching for the cause related to your issue. My thoughts are as follows. Since the apps you are having issue with, so many others have not had issue. From that I could surmise that there is something on your system that may be preventing the install. I could also surmise that these install...

Hi Zoltan The apps are written using Visual Studio and are published as one-click applications these are not the best things and it seems to me that just about every windows update changes things or breaks things in respect to one-click apps.

Hi Rick The ascom driver does have a log feature which produces a detailed connection sequence. It is probable that the firmware on your controller is outdated. Becuase the most recent ascom drivers, windows app etc will not work on older firmware version.

Quick and simple: I have a MyFocuserPro2 on a Nano that was working fine, and after some mucking about with the wiring, I can't get the ASCOM driver to connect any more. Weirdly, when I plug into the Arduino with the serial monitor and issue a ":0#", I get a nice focus-position message back. ????

Delete the folder and subfolders for the ones with myFP2 Luckily most users dont have too many one-click apps, maybe a few from the Miscrosoft Apps store.

We are talking about a oneclick app. If it was installed some time ago, then Windows updates could easily have trashed the uninstall, and when that happens, one ends up with what yoy have got now, The GUI is 6E7382DD-9781-495F-A48C-11FFCA4AA2D4 I attach something for you - pdf - but if you do this, don't be tempted to delete everything there - if you delete the wrong file then you will end up stuffing another app. I have done this numerous times.

Hi Charles This is the important part You cannot start application myFP2W from this location because it is already installed from a different location. In other words. last time you may have run the install when the app was in a folder called "xyz" BUT the you download a new version, copied that to a folder "abc" and then tried to run setup/install. So Windows blocked it. The app is a one-click app, so thats one of the drawbacks. Step 1 Use control panel to remove the existing application, myFP2W...

Hi, The FP2 test app can connect to my ULN2003M-MT-F-BT via Ascom, but when I try and move it (e.g. just +1) via the test app: * the motor does not move * LEDs on the driver board do not flicker * app reports "Moving: Current Position 5000" and never changes. * an in/out LED illuminates and stays on * No signal is observed on stepper signal lines In1-In4 on a scope at any time. * Tx Rx leds flicker on the Nano when the test app is running. It is as though it is trying to move but never does so carries...

Hi, The FP2 test app can connect to my ULN2003M-MT-F-BT via Ascom, but when I try and move it the motor does not move, LEDs on the driver board do not flicker, app reports "Moving: Current Position 5000" and never changes. If I try and move it again the app reports "focuser moving - please wait until it has stopped" as though it is still trying to move from the previous instruction but never does (even if I just try and move it to 5001). No signal is observed on stepper signal lines In1-In4 on a...

Hi all, I got these few items with me now and I would like to ask whether myFocusePro firmware can support them or maybe can be added into the list in the near future? Maybe someone in the group try this combo before? I know Arduino UNO board and DS18B20 are supported by the firmware. 1) Arduino IDE board 2) Ardumoto L298P motor driver board. The board uses Pin 3, 11, 12, 13 for driving the motor. https://www.hotmcu.com/arduino-motor-driver-shield-l298p-ardumoto-p-209.html 3) 1602 LCD and keypad...

Had to lay this aside for awhile -- hey, eight months is a "while"! --, but your debugging suggestions helped a lot. I eventually figured out that the I2C address of the display I'm using was 0x3D. Sigh. Working like a champ now though! I elected to use the 2X font and trim the messages to fit so my old eyes can read it at 2AM. Thanks again!

Great, thanks! I can work with the STL files already published, and I can share the results as a remix with attribution (Creative Commons - Attribution - Share Alike license) on Thingiverse (https://www.thingiverse.com/astroisk/designs), and post a direct link here.
