Hi, Noel. I'd like to help, but I don't yet understand what you're seeing. You have Code Composer Studio running and were able to load James' code. Correct? |
|
Hi. Yes I can get right up to to loading the launchpad to the first break point , when i hit resume nothing happens. It wont continue to load. So the control panel wont light up. This is where it stops. Pics show where it stops.I feel giving up.Its a new computer. Regards noel

I don't understand what you mean by up to the first break point. |

Ok. I have loaded the studio code IDE version 9 from TI.com for the launchpad then I have loaded the code for the clough42 firmware. I get right up to loading the program onto the launchpad with the control panel. When loadind onto the launchpad it stops at the breakpoint in the program ,same as it does when james is loading the lanchpad , however when I click the resume button in the program it does not resume as it does when James loads it. I have followed the same proceedures as james. I dont know if you can see the pics I sent. That shows as far as I can get. I dont know if this helps for your understanding. Regards. Noel. Thanks for your assistance , it is apreciated.

When I load the code there is no break point.
Please tell me step by step what you are doing.

OK. I think I now understand. I reviewed James' ELS video Part 10, and at 24:00 he explains the program always stops in Main when in Debug. This is the break point you're talking about, right? Where does the 69 come from? |
|
When you say "brings up the launchpad model and tells me it's running, do you mean that you see in the Debug window the text "Texas Instruments XDS110 USB Debug Probe/C28xx_CPU1 (Running)?" |
|
Don't give up, Noel,. I'm certain we -- all of us here -- can help you get it running. |
|
That was the number at the break point. I have just tried deleting the firmware from my com and reloaded it , I loaded the updated version of the firmware code. Still get the same problem but the break point is 77. I guess there is more information on the latest update. I am starting to think there is a problem with the microcontroller launchpad. But I have no idea about electronics. Thats why I try to follow James setup. Regards.

OK. Have you double checked the wiring from the boost board to the LED board? |
|
Mine stops a line number 91. |
|
I have checked but I am going to make up a new wire harnes tomorrow. I am sure that isnt it as I have continuity through each wire

I think it's unlikely that your TI board is defective. I'd like you to set a breakpoint in Main. This will let us prove the code is running. Do you want to do that? |
|
I do not see any pictures you sent. |
|
I will do anything to get this working. But how do i set a new break point ? I tell you I am as dumb as when it comes to this sort of thing. I am surprised I have gotten this far. Ok it musnt let me send pics.

It's easy to set a breakpoint. Below that, you'll see Mine is on line 143, but yours is probably different -- we can figure out why later, I don't think it's important now. To set the breakpoint double click the line number. A dot will appear in the column to the left of the line number. Now, with this breakpoint set, when you run in Debug, the program will stop at the start of Main -- like before -- and when you click Resume it will immediately stop again at the breakpoint you just set. Clicking Resume again will let the program run through a pile of code until it returns to that point again. It'll look like it didn't do anything. So the second time it hits the breakpoint, click the Step Into icon on the tool bar or press F5. This will let you step through the code a statement at a time. If you are able to step through the code -- which I'm quite sure you will be able to do -- we will know a LOT is working! To remove the breakpoint click Resume, then again double click the line number. Do you have a volt meter? |

Hi Jon, What was the outcome of your suggestion. I have exactly the same problem so will try your suggestion. Thinking the issue was the LED indicating panel I purchased several new panels and fitted one of them with the same result. In despair I buttoned up the whole system and behold it started to work correctly. It continued to do so for some weeks until I decided to make some improvements to my layout by making a new enclosure for the LED panel. Guess what - the indicating panel no longer functioned, only the LED on the on the PCB was alight. All connections checked out with continuity testing. Once again I replaced the LED indicating panel with a new one - to no avail. I've downloaded and replaced all the the Clough 42 files as well as a new version of Code Composer Studio. Recompiled and reflashed the TI board - and still the program will not run. |
|
I have carried out the steps you suggested and the program steps through the loops a few times until it stops again at line 71 WAIT_FOR_SERIAL |
|
I shoudl have noted that it stopped at line 71 WAIT_FOR_SERIAL in the SPIBus.cpp file |
|
Problem solved. It is dodgy connections. Too quick to blame the electronics! |

Hi, David. I have not heard back from bacca5419. You wrote, "I have carried out the steps you suggested and the program steps through the loops a few times until it stops again at line 71 WAIT_FOR_SERIAL. Does this indicate a bad connection somewhere?" No. This is perfectly normal. Please tell us what the problem with your connections was. That could help someone later. Great that you solved the problem! Regards, Jan (Yan) |

Hi guys. Still no go on the leadscrew. Checked all connections , no probs there that I can see. I have ordered a couple of new conntrol panels from China. Shipping is extremly slow. One thing I found on the control board that doesnt seem right to me is that with no wiring connected I am getting a continueity between the gnd and the DIO terminals. Dont know if that makes any sense. Will maybe know more when replacement control panel arrives. Will keep you informed as I learn more. Thanks guys.

Hi, Noel. How are you measuring continuity between GND and DIO on the control board? I get 10 meg ohms. Jan (Yan) |
|
What's your location, Noel? I have several control boards I bought by mistake. I didn't realize I was ordering a set of two each when I ordered two the second time. So I now have five! |

Hi Jan
I noticed when I was stepping through the program that Code Composer was
providing a number of messages (coloured red) that i took to be
warnings. The messages were "Cannot load from non-primitive location".
The messages were all associated with statements from the SPIBus.cpp
file relating to Input/Output data from the Clough42 board to the LED
indicating panel. By trial and error I established that the plug
positioned on the output pin DIO was not always making a good
connection. Replacing the plug fixed the problem.
I appreciate your advice on how to step through the program as that was
the key information that set me on the right path.
Cheers
David

Hi Jan. On the control panel ( led board ) with no wiring connected I start red lead + on vcc I move black lead - down the terminals gnd , stb , clk and dio. I use the buzzer set on my meter. Then I go down the line , red + on gnd , black - down the line of terminals. When I have the + on the gnd and - on the dio I am getting a continuity ( buzzer sounds ). Nothing on any other terminals. I do the same test on the clough42 board. I get no continuity on that board. If that makes any sense. I have 2 replacement boards coming from china to see it that is the problem. ( slow boat from china I think. )I am not in USA I live in Australia. Regards from Aust

Noel, Based on your testing, I agree the control board is likely defective. That would explain everything. Hope the "slow boat from China" arrives soon. I, too, had to wait for one of those. :) Are you using a digital VOM (volt/ohm meter) to make the measurements? If so, please try the same procedure again with the meter set to ohms. With the wires disconnected, short STB, CLK, and DIO to ground. This discharges the input filter capacitors. Then measure resistance from each of those inputs to ground. You should see a few kohms initially and then greatly increasing resistance, settling around 20 meg ohms or so. That's the effect of the capacitor charging. If STB and CLK behave differently from DIO, it'll be another indication your board is defective. Jan (Yan) |

Hi Jan. Well the new control boards arrived today , plugged one into the microcontroller and low and behold , still nothing. Time to give up I think. Go back to the gears ( at least they work ) I pretty dissapointed. Regards. Noel from Australia.

Yeah, that’s disappointing, Noel.
Do you have an oscilloscope, or access to one?
If not, if shipping from Australia to Utah, USA is not outrageously expensive, I will be happy to look at your setup and get it working.

Hi Jan. No I dont have a oscilloscope or access to one. Even if I did I wouldnt have a clue what to do with it. I am hopeless with electronics and thats on a good day. Thanks for the offer to get it working for me , however I think shipping costs and times would be outrageous. Regards. Noel.

My new f280049c board arrived today , all excited to plug everything in and start cutting some threads I want to do. Well no real surprise , nothing , zip , exactly the same results as before. Maybe its time to throw this in the bin. Im over it. The gears might be a pain to change for different threads , but atleast they work. Because I sure as hell cant get this els system to do anything.

Ahh - if starting in debug mode, that won't write the ELS code to the flash memory, and will pause at all the breakpoints until you click the continue button as Jon points out.
If you have success with the continue button, try switching from 'Debug' to 'Release'. This profile will write the code to the Launchpad's built in flash memory (and drop some debugging information like the breakpoints), so the ELS will automatically start up. The Debug/Release choice can be found under the arrow next to the hammer icon in the top bar:

Noel,
Very sorry to hear the bad news!
Maybe tomorrow, are you willing to try a simple test? If so, please do this:
1) Unplug the TI board’s USB connector and remove power from James’ Boost board.
2) Remove the Boost board and the encoder wires.
3) Replace jumpers JP1, JP2, and JP3 on the TI board.
4) Plug the USB connector into the TI board (other end connected to your computer, of course). Do you see two red LEDs and one blue LED?
5) In Code Composer Studio, set Debug mode.
6) Click the Debug icon (the green bug) on the toolbar. Does the “Loading Program” popup appear briefly?
7) Do you see two red and two blue LEDs, and one green LED?
8) Click the green arrowhead on the toolbar. Does the green LED go out?
9) In the Project Explorer panel, double click main.cpp. Does the main.cpp code appear?
10) In main.cpp, scroll way down to the statement that reads debug.begin2();
11) Double click the line number to the left of this statement. You have just set a breakpoint at that statement. The program should halt at that breakpoint. Is the line highlighted with a green background?
12) Is the arrowhead, previously gray, now green?
13) Click the green arrowhead. Does it momentary turn gray then return to green?
14) Is the breakpoint again highlighted in green? This concludes the test.
15) BE SURE TO REMOVE jumpers JP1, JP2, and JP3 on the TI board.
I’m VERY interested in learning why your system is misbehaving!
Please let us know how this goes, if you decide to try it.
Best wishes.
Jan (Yan)

Hi Noel, If you want to post the board(s) to me, I'll see if I can get it working on my lathe and post it back; email me (my email address is carneeki@carneeki.net ), and I'll send you my postal address. But do as Jan suggests, and take the rest of the evening off :) |
|
Thanks Jan. I will try that tomorrow. I am getting a new internet provider tomorrow. First thing I want to try is to remove the code composer and release codes and reload them. The reason being , with my old internet it was extremely slow. To the point where it would stop downloading. I would have to close wifi and open then try to continue downloading. Frustrating I tell you. I was even thinking of downloading a newer version of code composer. Not sure about that as James system works with the version he loaded and I guess others have downloaded same as him and had success. I figure it has to be in the programming in code composer. I have now replaced all the boards. I will keep you informed of my progress , good or bad. I thank you for your help. Most apreciated. Regards. Noel.

Noel, Your test result is very interesting! At step 11, I would expect the program to NOT halt at that statement, because it was not running. the fact that it did stop proves it was running. So if the program was running and stopped at the breakpoint, when you click the green arrowhead it should resume and go through one loop, before returning to the breakpoint. But you report the arrowhead stayed gray. I can't explain that. Please see if you get identical test results when running your other TI board. If you do, the problem sure seems to have to be with the program or your computer. You said you had a slow connection and were unsure if the ELS code transferred correctly. Correct? I suggest you download the ELS code again when you get your more reliable connection. Do you, by any chance, have another computer you can try? I think the best idea is to send your TI board, Boost board, and control panel board to Adam and see if they work on his system. What do you guys think? Jan |

Ok here is the latest. I have new faster internet. Downloaded code composser and release codes and deleted them a few times now , ( much much faster downloads ) all with no good developments. However after trying the test proceedures from Jan , i decided to delete and try again. Still not working , however it seemed to reached a different result. Started with release not debug. Hit the bug , when it stopped I set a break point at debug.begin2(); then hit the green arrow to resume. It went past that break point and looks like it stopped at userInterface.loop(); and next to the line number 143 it has a blue arrow facing the number and it has the resume green arrow on the task bar. When I hit the resume button it shows me very briefly it is running then straight away goes back to suspended-HW Breakpoint , the green resume button is still light but it hasnt gone past line 143 with the arrow userInterface.loop(); havent seen this before. I feel a little encouraged. Hahaha. Noel.

Excellent! Like Bill Murray said in Groundhog Day, “Different is good.”
I have my fingers crossed, and hope success will be forthcoming!

It went past that break point and looks like it stopped at userInterface.loop(); and next to the line number 143 it has a blue arrow facing the number and it has the resume green arrow on the task bar. When I hit the resume button it shows me very briefly it is running then straight away goes back to suspended-HW Breakpoint , the green resume button is still light but it hasnt gone past line 143 with the arrow userInterface.loop(); havent seen this before. I feel a little encouraged. Hahaha. Noel.

Noel,
Your test result is very interesting!
At step 11, I would expect the program to NOT halt at that statement, because it was not running. the fact that it did stop proves it was running.
So if the program was running and stopped at the breakpoint, when you click the green arrowhead it should resume and go through one loop, before returning to the breakpoint. But you report the arrowhead stayed gray. I can't explain that.
Please see if you get identical test results when running your other TI board. If you do, the problem sure seems to have to be with the program or your computer.
You said you had a slow connection and were unsure if the ELS code transferred correctly. Correct?
I suggest you download the ELS code again when you get your more reliable connection.
Do you, by any chance, have another computer you can try?
I think the best idea is to send your TI board, Boost board, and control panel board to Adam and see if they work on his system.
What do you guys think?
Jan

Hi Bacca, Great to hear that something is different! Out of curiosity, what do you mean 'hit the bug' when you ran with the release settings? Did it just sit there idle? |
|
The bug icon to start the programming to the board. However its all gone back to not doing anything. I am thinking it isnt loading to my computer correctly. It is a new computer that meets all the criteria. I am not very smart with electronics or computers. I can fly a plane , I can race motorcycles , I can put my hand to most mecanical things but electronics and computers will beat me everytime. Thanks Adam. Im about to give up. I have been trying to come up with an answer all day to no avail. Who knows. Regards Noel.

New thought.
Please try using a different USB cable and a different USB port on your computer.
You have a very elusive intermittent problem, but we will eventually figure out what it is. I am becoming more and more suspicious that the problem is in your computer. Do you have, or can you borrow another one to try?

Hi all. Tried a different cable and usb port. Here is a thought , if someone was to download the code composser and the latest release code and put it on a usb stick , would that work to plug the stick into my computer and send to my desktop , then see if I can program the launch pad from there. Would that be feasable? Just putting that out there in case I am doing something wrong that I cant see. Regards. Noel.

I'm thinking maybe there's a command line way we can go about it -
something where you can paste the exact commands in to compile + upload the
release code to the LaunchPad.
I am guessing you have Windows, so if you can open a command prompt (the
black text box with grey writing) - try pasting this in:
```ccstudio -noSplash -data . -application
com.ti.ccstudio.apps.projectBuild -ccs.workspace -ccs.buildType full
-ccs.configuration Release```
You will need to change directory to where you downloaded the ELS code to,
so
`cd C:\Users\bacca\Downloads\els\els-f280049c\` <-- change this to where
you downloaded the code
Then:
`ccstudio -noSplash -data . -application com.ti.ccstudio.apps.projectBuild
-ccs.workspace -ccs.buildType full -ccs.configuration Release`

Thanks for the suggestion. As dumb as I am with computers I dont have any idea how to go about doing the command line way. What I am going to do is get in touch with a young bloke I worked with before I retired. He is an electrician with a great knowledge of electronics and computers. Maybe download the setup on his computer and see what we can come up with. ( thats if he is interested or not to busy. ) I will keep everyone informed of progress. Regards. Noel.

I had a friend who is an electrician with a great knowledge in electronics and computers. After many hours of testing and checking everything from the boards to the programing , he tells me he is pretty sure it is the control panels I have are all faulty (2 of ). I have spare boards coming. (I dont trust cheap chinese stuff to much). He tells me that 1 board is showing the stb terminal is going to ground and the other is dio going to ground. We will see.

Hi Noel- I was having same issues- On your TI board check the position of S9 ( lower left corner under booster board) cycle the switch and leave it towards the encoder input. ( away from USB connector) My board was not receiving a clock to the display, so nothing worked. If you have an ohmmeter measure the resistance from pin 71 to ground, should be 6-10 K ohms. |

Thanks Brett. I am just now waiting for new control boards from China. When they arrive I will be trying your suggestion. Regards. Noel.

Hi Noel,
Given the post can take months (I'm waiting over 50 days now for 4 multifix
holders, and a similar amount of time for some keycaps!), let me know if
you want me to post a LED&KEY to you, I have about 3 or 4 surplus right now.

Hi all. Well my new control boards arrived today. Connected everything up and presto it worked. The board lit up like a xmas tree full of lights. Excited as I was I connected the system to the lathe , fired it up and buggar the servo motor doesnt run. Been checking all wiring as I know I am not that great with my bad eye sight. 2 hours into checking and replacing connections , testing continuity and still cant get servo to respond. Tacho and all settings work , just cant get servo to respond. If its not one thing its another. Regards Noel.

I have been following this thread with interest. I have all the same kit as James recommended. I made a wooden cabinet the same size as my Hammond metal box because it's easier to change the layout when you're screwing into wood rather than steel. Once I had it all wired up and the s/w uploaded to the TI Launchpad, I turned power on with the following result.
I have double and triple checked continuity with my digital multi-meter and all continuity checks on the board are fine. I also checked the various switches
I was therefore interested when I read Brett's comment "My board was not receiving a clock to the display, so nothing worked. If you have an ohmmeter measure the resistance from pin 71 to ground, should be 6-10 K ohms". I measured pin 71 to ground and got an open circuit. Thoughts? |

Hi Brett , I replaced the control board with another board from China ( which took about 5 weeks to get ) this board lights up as it should. However I have reached the next drama. I cant get the servo motor to do anything. Have checked all connections , talked to James , he has given my advise on the firmware settings and still nothing. Regards. Noel.

Just an observation, but from the photo S9 appears to be in the "ALT"
position. It should be towards the "BP" (booster port) position. In the
photo that would be towards pin 71 on J6. I did have to cycle mine a couple
of times before I got a connection. Just monitor pin 71 to ground with an
ohmmeter until you get a reading.
Best of luck-
-Brett

Hi all. Had a friend who is an electrician with an extent background in electronics come have a look and do some tests and checks as to why the servo motor wont run. After a heap of hours testing and checking he is very sure the problem is a faulty servo driver. I tend to agree as I have tried settings as advised by James ( Clough 42 ) and still nothing is happening. I guess my next move would be to replace the motor and servo. Rather dissapointed. Turning out to be rather costly. In to deep to give up. Regards all I will keep you informed. Ps. I am at least pleased to get the control panel to light up.

Thank you Brett...S9 was in the wrong position. I will update after I get a chance to check the voltage on pin 71. |
|
Switch the position of S9 then measured the resistance from pin 71 to ground and got 67.4K ohms. |
|
After retracing every cable I found some that we're making good contact so I made some more. |

Hi, Jon, This is my second Ti Launchpad and second Boost card, v2.1. All continuity checks listed by James have worked. Thoughts? |

Hi all. I am havind problems programming the launchpad. I get as far as where it pauses at break 69. I hit the reume button and it appears to do nothing except bringing up the launchpad model and tells me its running. The control panel shows a led power light but nothing else. I need help as I am a dumd arse with electronics and computers alike. Regards Noel from australia.
