    28-Sept-2022 Nextion Firmware Update

    I have uploaded v317 firmware update for the NEXTION focus controller.
    https://sourceforge.net/projects/arduinoascomfocuserpro2diy/files/myFocuserPro2N%20NEXTION%20TFT%20DISPLAY/

    This firmware only runs on the Nextion controllers.

    Instructions
    You will need to run the ClearEEPROM program in the test folder. If you do not then controller functionality can be random.

    For Windows you will need to run version 2490 which I will upload tater today. The Windows app 2490 will only run on firmware 217 or later.
    https://sourceforge.net/projects/arduinoascomfocuserpro2diy/files/WINDOWS/MainApp/

    Before installing the new Windows update, use Control panel tp remove the older version first.
    next, install the windows 2490 update.

    DO NOT use this 2490 release on older firmware 216 or lower, The application will not work with older firmware.

    Regards
    Robert

    I'm not seeing the TMC spreadsheet folder included in the 321 release. Can I just reuse the spreadsheet from a previous release? Has the spreadsheet changed over time since older versions? I still have the spreadsheet from 312.

    Hi Eric
    yes, just use the one from 312

    Uploaded the ASCOM1 driver, v286, The ASCOM driver was uploaded a few days ago.

    ASCOM driver is the main driver, supporting the main telescope.
    myFP2ASCOM_Setup286.exe

    The ASCOM1 is the 2nd driver, supporting an additional telescope.

    Hi,
    I just downloaded rev 325 and compiled it for L293D driver. I think there is a hack in focuserconfig.h starting on line 162. Should that endif block be extended down to include the following ifndef?

     

  • brownrb

    brownrb - 2023-03-18

    Hi David

    The compiler checks near the end of focuserconfig.h can be written better., more efficiently. Those code checks date way back and thus were not part of the 325 changes. It will compile fine, even though as you point out that it can be written better.

    Regards
    Robert
    (thanks for the reminder to do something about that in the next update)

    Nikolas has found an error in the code for A4998-325 firmware file.
    A fix is posted now, and affects the follwing firmware files. All other files are ok.
    myFP2_A4998_325
    myFP2_EASYDRIVER_RE_325
    myFP2_DRV8825HW203_KEYPAD_325
    myFP2_DRV8825HW203_325

    The new firmware file is 325-1, but will register as version 325. The error was that Coil Power was never turned off. The error only occurs in those versions listed above.

    I have posted the new PDF, version 325, because the release of the Windows application 2492 is imminent.

    regards
    Robert

    Hello,

    I successfully used version 324 that worked with my RaspBerry/Indigo/IndigoD1(MacOs) configuration. Unable to make her communicate with Indi/Kstars between the RaspBerry and MacOS....

    I wanted to try the latest version, the 325:
    It does not compile on Arduino 2.0.3 on MacOS, the error message is :

    Compilation error: unterminated #ifndef

    I managed to compile by modifying the file, but then the stepper motors power on but did not run, I explored the myBoard.h file on line 52 and saw that the pin numbers IN1ULN,IN2ULN..... changed between version 324 ( 2 3 4 5) and 325 ( 4 5 6 7 ) .

    I changed the numbers and now everything works perfectly, thank you for your work!

    Sam.

    *French original version :

    Bonjour,

    J'utilisai avec succès la version 324 qui fonctionnait avec ma configuration RaspBerry/Indigo/IndigoD1(MacOs) . Impossible de la faire communiquer avec Indi/Kstars entre le RaspBerry et MacOS....

    J'ai voulu essayer la dernière version, la 325 :

    Elle ne compile pas sous Arduino 2.0.3 sous MacOS, le message d'erreur est le suivant :

    Compilation error: unterminated #ifndef

    J'ai reussi à compiler en modifiant le fichier, mais ensuite les moteurs s'allumaient mais ne tournaient pas, j'ai exploré le fichier myBoard.h à la ligne 52 et j'ai vu que les numéros des pins IN1ULN,IN2ULN..... ont changés entre la version 324 ( 2 3 4 5) et la 325 ( 4 5 6 7 ) .

    J'ai changé les numéros et maintenant tout fonctionne parfaitement, merci pour votre travail !

    Sam.*

    Hi Sam
    it could be that you used the wrong firmware file as pins were not changed.

    Please let me knoew that actual name of the firmware file you used so I can look into this further

    Regards
    Robert

      Hi Sam
      I have found the error for the missing #endif in focuserconfig.h and will post an update for the myfp2 uln2003 today.

      I have open firmware myfp2 324 for uln2003, myBoards.h
      Line 52- shows

      #define IN1ULN                4
#define IN2ULN                5
#define IN3ULN                6
#define IN4ULN                7

      which compares with firmware 325 for myfp2 uln2003, myBoards.h as

      #define IN1ULN                4
#define IN2ULN                5
#define IN3ULN                6
#define IN4ULN                7

      I am struggling to find the ( 2 3 4 5) pin definitions in any myfp2 firmware file.
      All focuser designs utilize pin2 as the temperature probe so I am at a loss to see how they could have been defined as 2-5.

      I may be old and starting to loose my marbles, but I am not seeing this in the 324 firmware at all, and have gone through all the myfp2 schematics and I don't see that either. The pins in 324 match 325. I have attached every myfp2 uln2003 design schematics for each pcb and as you can see from the date-time stamps they remain unchanged since way back and none have 2345 pin combinations.

      Regards
      Robert

    Hello all
    I have previously uploaded the new pdf document 325-00
    This explains a new tab for the Windows Application, named the KeyMap tab. starting on pg 127.
    I have uploaded the new Windows app 2483 today, which has the new keymap tab.

    Attached to this post are the screenshots and link to the new app. For instructions on how to use the keymap, please refer to the 325-00 pdf.
