Who wants a cheap, simple, Arduino-based LED controller? - Page 35

Spuzzum · 12/10/2011, 11:01 AM

Seems the library's set up to display a 16x2 display:

From Deuligne.h:

Code:

Deuligne(int devI2CAddress=0xA7, int num_lines=2, int lcdwidth=16, int bufferwidth= 40);

This shows 3 lines in my 16x4 display.. and setting cursor to (0,3) puts it on the second line.. doh!

But adding:

Code:

Deuligne lcd(0xA7, 16, 4);

And now my 4th line is accessible again

.

Spuzzum,

Just to say great work!!! I like the different things you are doing to free up more AVR pins in the Typhon, specially the ADC buttons. Like you are doing, some months ago I adapted the MCP23008 LCD interface from the Hydra project and it’s working perfectly with my modified Typhon.

Keep the good ideas flowing!!!

Thanks mm.reefs

I can do hardware.. to a point, but coding's not my strong point.. otherwise I'd have a crack at modifying for the adc keys. But I can kinda figure things out sometimes.. just takes me a little while.. day, month, etc...

I'm better with DOS than c/c++.

But just off the top of my head.. is there a way to disable the backlight option? I'd rather use the PWM channel for LEDs, and just use a dimming pot and an on/off tact switch/button. Push button.. light turns on (or just gets brighter).. do what you need with the menus/display functions, then push button again.. light turns off (or dims back down). That would allow all 6 PWM pins for LEDs. I played by assigning the AREF pin as the backlight pin.. seeing as AREF isn't called in the script I figure it'd be safe.. but not sure really, as it has internal stuffs that I may be screwing up by doing so. I'm not connecting to it.. just using it as a dummy connection in the script.

And another thing I was reading at Arduino's site.. as long as you don't need the serial connection (it's not called in the script).. D0/RX and D1/TX can be used as "regular" digital pins.. relays/sensors/etc...

I also came across something where a guy was using the MCP23008 shift registers for increasing the PWM capabilities.. multiple PWM's off 1 PWM channel. Not too sure how well it works though.. or if I'd want to test on $5 Cree's

.

But if I can disable the backlight portion of the script.. then I'm a happy man. I'd be even happier if I could figure out how to add the temp sensor portion. Relays seem easy enough.. it's just all the coding for the sensors that'll be an issue for me.....

Spuzzum · 12/10/2011, 05:17 PM

Also, wanted to mention about the eeprom memory...

People in the satellite community use either a 24LC128 (128Kb) or 24LC256 (256Kb) which holds the eeprom memory, along side an atmel8515 which holds the actual flash/program. It would free up the atmega128/328.. and possibly speed up the entire process. I have no idea as to how to code it though.. and I "think" it's connected to i2c.

Just a thought if you're running out of room in the eeprom.

Maybe I'll talk to a friend who used to be into the community.. see if he knows how to go about it.

Spuzzum · 12/11/2011, 10:46 AM

Putting along....

Success at disabling the backlight in the script.. now have 6 PWM channels working.. and full menu to accommodate the full 6

. Basically just searched for "bkl", then commented out that line. Frees up the PWM pin.. but now, when key hasn't been pressed.. instead of going back to main screen, it just stays at the menu screen you are on. Minor.. but will try to fix.. "somehow". Maybe set the "select" button to send back to "menuCount == 1".. seeing as the select button isn't actually being used.

I also fixed my LCD requiring (-4, 2) or (-4, 3) to start the columns at (0, 2) and (0, 3). It's in the *.cpp files...

Changed:

Code:

int row_offsets[] = { 0x00, 0x40, 0x14, 0x54 };

To:

Code:

int row_offsets[] = { 0x00, 0x40, 0x10, 0x50 };

Now everything works as it should.

Spuzzum · 12/11/2011, 12:20 PM

Fixed the display reset function.. changed "bkl" to "display"...

From:

Code:

// set up backlight
int bkl         = 3;        // backlight digital pin 3
byte bklIdle    = 10;       // PWM value for backlight at idle
byte bklOn      = 70;       // PWM value for backlight when on
int bklDelay    = 10000;    // ms for the backlight to idle before turning off
unsigned long bklTime = 0;  // counter since backlight turned on

To:

Code:

// set up backlight
byte displayIdle    = 10;       // PWM value for backlight at idle
int displayDelay    = 10000;    // ms for the backlight to idle before turning off
unsigned long displayTime = 0;  // counter since backlight turned on

From:

Code:

  //turn the backlight off and reset the menu if the idle time has elapsed
  if(bklTime + bklDelay < millis() && bklTime > 0 ){
    analogWrite(bkl,bklIdle);
    menuCount = 1;
    lcd.clear();
    bklTime = 0;
  }

To:

Code:

  //turn the backlight off and reset the menu if the idle time has elapsed
  if(displayTime + displayDelay < millis() && displayTime > 0 ){
    menuCount = 1;
    lcd.clear();
    displayTime = 0;
  }

From:

Code:

  //iterate through the menus
  if(menu.uniquePress()){
    analogWrite(bkl,bklOn);
    bklTime = millis();
    if(menuCount < 28){
      menuCount++;
    }else {
      menuCount = 1;
    }
    lcd.clear();
  }

To:

Code:

  //iterate through the menus
  if(menu.uniquePress()){
    displayTime = millis();
    if(menuCount < 28){
      menuCount++;
    }else {
      menuCount = 1;
    }
    lcd.clear();
  }

So here's my modified script.. all 6 PWM channels, and no backlight pin.

Seeing as I managed to get that working, I thought I'd brave it by adding the date as well. Used an example from the Deuligne package, and it worked.

Well.. sort'a

It displays the date I set in the script, and it rolled the date at midnight. All good, right? Not so fast. For some reason, it's not keeping the time now.. never mind the date. When reset.. it literally resets back to the time and date set in the script.

I think I broke it

do not lose faith ... go on like this you're doing a good job.

congratulations!
I like the electronics I want to work with the community.
I ordered an Arduino board with display, I'm waiting for the shipment arrives.
Then do the tests myself.
now I have only a software simulator for Arduino, it is VirtualBreadboard

Spuzzum · 12/12/2011, 02:59 PM

Thanks Baghyyy... I'm putting along.........

I did just find the issue though.. not sure if this is a half-assed backwards fix, but it's a fix....

Replaced

Code:

  second = 0;
  minute = 6;
  hour = 22;
  dayOfWeek = 2;
  dayOfMonth = 12;
  month = 12;
  year = 11;

  setDateDs1307(second, minute, hour, dayOfWeek, dayOfMonth, month, year);

With

Code:

//////   Uncomment the following to initially set the time and date
//////   After you load the sketch, the comment out the section again, and reload the sketch 1 more time.
//////   This prevents the sketch from restting back to the beginning. ;)


/*  
  second = 0;
  minute = 6;
  hour = 22;
  dayOfWeek = 2;
  dayOfMonth = 12;
  month = 12;
  year = 11;

  setDateDs1307(second, minute, hour, dayOfWeek, dayOfMonth, month, year);
*/

Unplugged for a few minutes.. time keeps up

.

Now to look into setting up a menu option for manually adjusting the date. Will take some thinking...

After that.. would still like to look into the adc key option. Doesn't look too much different.. but we'll see.

Spuzzum · 12/12/2011, 04:06 PM

Scratch that...

Looking at an example for DS1307, it's just the setDateDs1307 that needs commenting out...

Code:

// Change these values to what you want to set your clock to.
// You probably only want to set your clock once and then remove
// the setDateDs1307 call.
second = 0;
minute = 37;
hour = 0;
dayOfWeek = 5;
dayOfMonth = 20;
month = 5;
year = 10;
// setDateDs1307(second, minute, hour, dayOfWeek, dayOfMonth, month, year);
}

TheFishMan65 · 12/12/2011, 04:14 PM

True, but commenting the whole thing out will save program memory that may become a precious commodity

zero2007 · 12/12/2011, 06:48 PM

Hi Spuzzum,

Can you post your script for your 6 channel version? as the txt file you uploaded is hard to work with.

Keep up the good work..

Zero

shark boy · 12/13/2011, 11:54 AM

Spuzzum,

I've been trying to follow you on the conversion but I'm having problems.
Could you post a summery. Like a list of new materials" the 4x16 lcd, new button changes, or joystick", pinout changes, and so forth.

On the I2C, is the channel maxxed with the lcd and control buttons or could we still add a temp probe and such?

I have a working original Typhon and would love to upgrade it to the level your describing.

Thanks,
shark boy

Uploading the text file of the script just in case. It was "professionally indented" (lol) using Vim in linux.

The reason why the earlier text may have been hard to read.. I use linux, so when a linux text is opened in winblows.. it's all-on-one-line.. so to speak

.

Best way to fix that if you should ever come across another file like that.. open it in wordpad, then save as text. Wordpad will understand the formatting

.

Also... I should mention I needed to modify "BUTTON" to "BUTTON_PULLDOWN".. script errored out otherwise.. Button.cpp says

Code:

buttonMode == BUTTON_PULLDOWN ? pulldown() : pullup(buttonMode);

Not sure if using Pulldown is the correct thing to do, but like I say.. it errors out otherwise.

Original script:

Code:

// create the buttons
Button menu     = Button(14,BUTTON);
Button select   = Button(15,BUTTON);
Button plus     = Button(16,BUTTON);
Button minus    = Button(17,BUTTON);

Results in:

Code:

sketch_dec13a:97: error: ‘BUTTON’ was not declared in this scope
sketch_dec13a:98: error: ‘BUTTON’ was not declared in this scope
sketch_dec13a:99: error: ‘BUTTON’ was not declared in this scope
sketch_dec13a:100: error: ‘BUTTON’ was not declared in this scope

So i put:

Code:

// create the buttons
Button menu     = Button(14,BUTTON_PULLDOWN);
Button select   = Button(15,BUTTON_PULLDOWN);
Button plus     = Button(16,BUTTON_PULLDOWN);
Button minus    = Button(17,BUTTON_PULLDOWN);

Code:

Done compiling.
Binary sketch size: 21136 bytes (of a 30720 byte maximum)

OK, about the script/mods...

I made the Deuligne version of the i2clcd backpack (shield?). It's based on the LiquidCrystal library, and has the adc_key stuffs already added.. which gives "some" issues if wanting to redefine the keys, as it's already been defined in the *.cpp file. .. Been trying to work with the keys as a base script, but can't for the life of me figure how to say "if the damn up button is pressed.. do this!!" LoL...!

The pinout for the MCP23008's a little different with the Deuligne than the LCDI2C4Bit version DWZM posted in the Hydra thread/design. Just so you know.

The schematics are linked at the top of the script, at snootlab.com. If you click the download tab, you'll see links for schematic, user guide, and all the library stuffs at github.

My next attempt, was to organize the menu items into main/sub menus.. ie: all channel 1 LED settings under 1 main menu heading, then opens to what you want to do in that part of the menu. I was "hoping" to utilize the select button, as it doesn't seem to be used. Maybe use that to "back 1", or "escape/exit"... or something like that. I just found it frustrating to click 28 times just to get back to the previous menu screen.. because I accidentally clicked 1 too many times getting where I wanted... doh!

But as for the adc_key thing... I stripped a key_test script down, and added in a clock.. with date. But like I said.. I can't figure out how to tell the thing what to do if "this" or "that" key is pressed. I figure once I do that.. then I'm on my way to rewriting the entire script from the bottom up.

By the way... if anybody sees how or what I should change to improve my mods.. feel free to mention so. This is my first attempt at c++, so I'm sure it's "messy". I'm more comfortable in DOS.. doesn't take 20 minutes to figure out I needed a "}" at the end of the script

Spuzzum · 12/13/2011, 08:45 PM

lol! Just discovered something that I've only looked at about 50 times now...

Code:

int a=0;

void setup()

a==0  (Up_Key);     // "Up"
a==1  (Down_Key);   // "Down"
a==2  (Left_Key);   // "Left", "+"
a==3  (Right_Key);  // "Right", "-"
a==4  (Select_Key); // "Select"


void loop()

  a=lcd.get_key();
  if (a==4) // someone pressed 'enter'

NOW it makes sense...

Set up the free pin as a one-wire port. You now have one-wire, I2C, and serial available. Put a DS18B20 on the one-wire port and use it to sense temperature. Find a dedicated fan controller IC (or a generic PWM generator) that can work on one-wire or I2C and use that to control the fan.

Or use the modified board

1wire buttons, 2x lm35 temp, 1 pwm fan, and the four led channels.

Ok.. I just realized something... using the code tags doesn't display the code correctly here in the thread. All the "#include " actually does have the "< >" symbols when I posted it.

It "should" be showing:

Code:

// include the libraries:
#include "Deuligne.h"
#include "Wire.h"
#include "Button.h"
#include "EEPROM.h"
#include "EEPROMVar.h"

But with < > instead of " "

And as for the Button.h... doesn't matter if in < > or " " .. it still errors if using:

Code:

// create the buttons
Button menu     = Button(14,BUTTON);
Button select   = Button(15,BUTTON);
Button plus     = Button(16,BUTTON);
Button minus    = Button(17,BUTTON);

It may just be my copy/version of the Button library. It could also be a linux thing.. it's not as lenient as winblows.

So I tried making sub menus last night. The script already has "menuSelect" happening in the (menuCount == 2). So I figured I'd start with "channel 1".. rewrote so the menuSelect will cycle through start time, end time, fade duration, and max intensity settings. It worked.. but only for the first 4 menuSelects I used.

The script is set for 4 choices of menuSelect, so I didn't go over the limit:

Code:

if(menuSelect < 3){menuSelect++;}
else{menuSelect = 0;}

But if I add the channel 2 stuffs to the next menuChoice/menuSelect portion.. I can scroll through channel 1 menu, but press menu again to go to channel 2 menu.. the screen blanks out for 5 seconds or so, then finally goes back to the main screen. Obviously not what I want to achieve

.

Not sure if the total # of menuSelect needs to be specified somewhere else, or just the # of menuSelect per menuChoice, specified within that menuchoice.

Spuzzum · 12/14/2011, 03:14 PM

Found my error with the sub menu... was forgetting to add " } " at the ends of each group of submenus.. instead I just added at the end of the script when the compiler prompted me for a squiggly

Just remove the .txt at the end of the file name, and open in Arduino.

All LED options are in their own main menu, with each individual option (4) cycled by the select button.. ie: button "right".

Time is in it's own menu with just the 2 options, and date is in it's own menu as well with it's 4 options.

To go to the next menu.. the menu button.. "left".

Other than that.. it's still the same script. I just cut and pasted from the original, but sectioned it out.. and modified the total menu count to the new number of menus. Doesn't show menu 10 if it's only stated as 9 menus in total... took about an hour to figure that one out

.

But adding: Code: Deuligne lcd(0xA7, 16, 4); And now my 4th line is accessible again .

mm.reefs Registered Member Join Date: Aug 2007 Location: Gurabo, PR USA Posts: 75	Spuzzum, Just to say great work!!! I like the different things you are doing to free up more AVR pins in the Typhon, specially the ADC buttons. Like you are doing, some months ago I adapted the MCP23008 LCD interface from the Hydra project and it’s working perfectly with my modified Typhon. Keep the good ideas flowing!!!

Spuzzum Registered Member Join Date: Feb 2011 Posts: 70	Thanks mm.reefs I can do hardware.. to a point, but coding's not my strong point.. otherwise I'd have a crack at modifying for the adc keys. But I can kinda figure things out sometimes.. just takes me a little while.. day, month, etc... I'm better with DOS than c/c++. But just off the top of my head.. is there a way to disable the backlight option? I'd rather use the PWM channel for LEDs, and just use a dimming pot and an on/off tact switch/button. Push button.. light turns on (or just gets brighter).. do what you need with the menus/display functions, then push button again.. light turns off (or dims back down). That would allow all 6 PWM pins for LEDs. I played by assigning the AREF pin as the backlight pin.. seeing as AREF isn't called in the script I figure it'd be safe.. but not sure really, as it has internal stuffs that I may be screwing up by doing so. I'm not connecting to it.. just using it as a dummy connection in the script. And another thing I was reading at Arduino's site.. as long as you don't need the serial connection (it's not called in the script).. D0/RX and D1/TX can be used as "regular" digital pins.. relays/sensors/etc... I also came across something where a guy was using the MCP23008 shift registers for increasing the PWM capabilities.. multiple PWM's off 1 PWM channel. Not too sure how well it works though.. or if I'd want to test on $5 Cree's . But if I can disable the backlight portion of the script.. then I'm a happy man. I'd be even happier if I could figure out how to add the temp sensor portion. Relays seem easy enough.. it's just all the coding for the sensors that'll be an issue for me.....

Spuzzum Registered Member Join Date: Feb 2011 Posts: 70	Also, wanted to mention about the eeprom memory... People in the satellite community use either a 24LC128 (128Kb) or 24LC256 (256Kb) which holds the eeprom memory, along side an atmel8515 which holds the actual flash/program. It would free up the atmega128/328.. and possibly speed up the entire process. I have no idea as to how to code it though.. and I "think" it's connected to i2c. Just a thought if you're running out of room in the eeprom. Maybe I'll talk to a friend who used to be into the community.. see if he knows how to go about it.

Spuzzum Registered Member Join Date: Feb 2011 Posts: 70	Putting along.... Success at disabling the backlight in the script.. now have 6 PWM channels working.. and full menu to accommodate the full 6 . Basically just searched for "bkl", then commented out that line. Frees up the PWM pin.. but now, when key hasn't been pressed.. instead of going back to main screen, it just stays at the menu screen you are on. Minor.. but will try to fix.. "somehow". Maybe set the "select" button to send back to "menuCount == 1".. seeing as the select button isn't actually being used. I also fixed my LCD requiring (-4, 2) or (-4, 3) to start the columns at (0, 2) and (0, 3). It's in the *.cpp files... Changed: Code: int row_offsets[] = { 0x00, 0x40, 0x14, 0x54 }; To: Code: int row_offsets[] = { 0x00, 0x40, 0x10, 0x50 }; Now everything works as it should.

Like a list of new materials" the 4x16 lcd, new button changes, or joystick", pinout changes, and so forth. On the I2C, is the channel maxxed with the lcd and control buttons or could we still add a temp probe and such? I have a working original Typhon and would love to upgrade it to the level your describing. Thanks, shark boy

All the "#include " actually does have the "< >" symbols when I posted it. It "should" be showing: Code: // include the libraries: #include "Deuligne.h" #include "Wire.h" #include "Button.h" #include "EEPROM.h" #include "EEPROMVar.h" But with < > instead of " " And as for the Button.h... doesn't matter if in < > or " " .. it still errors if using: Code: // create the buttons Button menu = Button(14,BUTTON); Button select = Button(15,BUTTON); Button plus = Button(16,BUTTON); Button minus = Button(17,BUTTON); It may just be my copy/version of the Button library. It could also be a linux thing.. it's not as lenient as winblows. So I tried making sub menus last night. The script already has "menuSelect" happening in the (menuCount == 2). So I figured I'd start with "channel 1".. rewrote so the menuSelect will cycle through start time, end time, fade duration, and max intensity settings. It worked.. but only for the first 4 menuSelects I used. The script is set for 4 choices of menuSelect, so I didn't go over the limit: Code: if(menuSelect < 3){menuSelect++;} else{menuSelect = 0;} But if I add the channel 2 stuffs to the next menuChoice/menuSelect portion.. I can scroll through channel 1 menu, but press menu again to go to channel 2 menu.. the screen blanks out for 5 seconds or so, then finally goes back to the main screen. Obviously not what I want to achieve . Not sure if the total # of menuSelect needs to be specified somewhere else, or just the # of menuSelect per menuChoice, specified within that menuchoice.
