Atmega2560 pins

[stefaanbolle]

In your table I notice: ESC serial RX1 GPS RX2 PWM out 7 S.port/SRXL 4/12 XBUS/sensor SDA20 XBUS/sensor SCL21

What pins do you mean on a Mega2560 Pro Mini board because I do not find these pin references on my board https://pg-cdn-a2.datacaciques.com/00/NDAy/19/01/02/r4tvb3u808096tbn/ab2ddc6ef3b8ad95.jpg

[stefaanbolle]

Found the pin mapping I guess https://robotdyn.com/pub/media/0G-00005642==MEGA-PROMINI-ATmega2560/DOCS/PINOUT==0G-00005642==MEGA-PROMINI-ATmega2560.pdf

I've improved the pin table with usual pin numbers

ATmega250 pinout

Which rx protocol are you using? smartport, xbus, srxl?

Are you attaching a esc serial or castle?

[stefaanbolle]

I am using a Radiomaster R161. Smart port wire and VCC and GND go to the Mega2560 pin VCC/GND and D4/D12 with pullup). S.Bus + VCC and GND go to FBL msrc.lua does not detect the board and no sensors are detected. Was working with 328P pro micro before. Are ports D4 and D12 (4 and 12) the correct ones for smartport?

[dgatf]

There was an error on the readme. Fixed. Correct pins for ATmega2560 are 10 and 15

[stefaanbolle]

Thanks, will try it out

[stefaanbolle]

Indeed, much better now :-)

[stefaanbolle]

Is it correct that BN-220 GPS TX goes to pin D17 on Mega2560? I do get a GPS signal (VCC is connected to 5V and GND to GND) but the coordinates are garbage as are the other GPS values. Same applies for BMP280 ALT value

[dgatf]

Yes, D17 is the correct pin for GPS. Be sure you have set the default baud rate 9600

I'll check GPS and BMP280 for ATmega2560 in the following days

[stefaanbolle]

Yes, D17 is the correct pin for GPS. Be sure you have set the default baud rate 9600

I'll check GPS and BMP280 for ATmega2560 in the following days

Do I have to set baudrate in your code somewhere?

[dgatf]

If you are using other baud rate than the default 9600 in BN220 you can change its baud rate (with ucenter app from ublox) or you can change line 450 in smartport.cpp

GPS_SERIAL.begin(9600);

with the desired baud rate

Edit: added _GPS_BAUDRATE to config.h, line 23. You can adjust the GPS baud rate in config.h

[dgatf]

To debug the gps, download latest code as debug for gps was broken

Enable gps debug in config.h, line 119:

#define DEBUG_GPS

and post the output (with serial monitor at 115200)

[dgatf]

Please download latest code: now all gps values are initialized to 0 so you won't get garbage values if there is no data input from the gps

[dgatf]

Same applies for BMP280. You were getting garbage values because BMP280 is not communicating with Arduino

Now I've updated the code so altitude will be 0 even if there is no data input from BMP280. Note that the default I2C address for BMP280 is 0x77, but also can be 0x76

Download latest code and review connections and config

[dgatf]

For BMP280 there was an issue with the altitude calculation. Fixed

[dgatf]

Date/time and lat/log values were twisted. Fixed Also altitude is now limited to values bigger than 0

[stefaanbolle]

GPS looks OK now, still 0m with BMP280 (address 76 since pin determining address is not connected to anything) I'll continue investigating

[dgatf]

Do you get a valid value for bmp280 temperature at sensor Tmp1 (0x401)?

Altitude is 0m at ground

[stefaanbolle]

temp is 0 deg alt = 0m

[stefaanbolle]

Seems BMP is not working. Connection is straaight forward if SCL and SDA pins are corresponding in schema vs code

[dgatf]

If you are using lua for config, i2c address is in decimal, 0x76 is 118 and 0x77 is 119

And connect BMP_Vcc to 3.3v and BMP_GND to GND

[stefaanbolle]

Hmm, address might be wrong indeed

[stefaanbolle]

Since the last commit I do notice when clicking update in LUA, UPDATING takes forever. Wi have to stop it with ret key on TX. When restarting msrc.lua, values are retained.

[dgatf]

There was a bug in the lua script that was causing wrong I2C config. Please upload the latest lua script to the radio, update config and check if BMP is working

[dgatf]

Since the last commit I do notice when clicking update in LUA, UPDATING takes forever. Wi have to stop it with ret key on TX. When restarting msrc.lua, values are retained.

Fixed. Please flash latest code

[stefaanbolle]

Updating still keeps flashing. I have to quit it with return. Alt and Tmp1 remains 0. Awaiting new sensor module which should arrive any day now. Will swap module to try this option.

[dgatf]

1. Could you flash the latest code and enable in config.h:

   #define DEBUG_EEPROM_WRITE
   #define DEBUG_EEPROM_READ

   And post the result when booting and also when updating from lua

2. Disable the previous and enable #define DEBUG and post the output when updating from lua

[dgatf]

Sorry, now is updated for debug

[stefaanbolle]

Can I connect both the S.Port connector and the usb connector to the Mega2560 board at the same time to output the debug? Won't overload board nor PC USB Port? Just to be sure

[dgatf]

Disconnect Vcc from smartport, keep only GND and data lines

[stefaanbolle]

1. Could you flash the latest code and enable in _config.h_:

#define DEBUG_EEPROM_WRITE
#define DEBUG_EEPROM_READ

gives a lot, but when clicking update I get M+ <F:31 D:5000 V:AAAA96F1 <F:31 D:5000 V:43333F2 <F:31 D:5000 V0.8.0 after that it remains UPDATING and no further debug output

[dgatf]

I2C config seems good (I1:1 A1:118). You could try with address 119 (0x77), just in case

The arduino is rebooting when updating from lua. That's why lua keeps trying to update

[dgatf]

Fixed the updating forever issue with lua. There was an issue deleting objects

Please try latest code

[dgatf]

I've got BMP280 working at 0x76. I recommend to test BMP280 with a specific sketch (that you can find in some arduino libraries). You may need to replace the sensor. Remember to connect BMP Vcc to 3.3v, not 5v

[stefaanbolle]

Thanks, will try with a new sensor. Should arrive in the mailbox any moment now

[stefaanbolle]

The LUA on the Transmitter works well again. The BMP280 (a brandnew one) does not give any telemetry data via I2C. It is connected to GND - GND SDA - D20 SCL - D21 3V3 - 3V3

In LUA on TX I sellect I2C1 as BMP280 and address 118/119 (tried both) TMP1 and ALT remain both 0

[dgatf]

Please flash _i2cscan.ino (in tools folder) to check circuit and BMP module. No need to power the receiver or anything else

In serial monitor at 115200, you should see:

I2C scanner
76
Done

Where 76 is the address in hex. If no number, there is an issue with the circuit or the module

If you see the address, disconnect smartpoft Vcc, flash msrc.ino again enabling debug #define DEBUG and post the output

[stefaanbolle]

Will have to search, BMP is brand new

I2C scanner
Done

D20 - SDA and D21 - SCL are correct right?

[dgatf]

Yes, correct. Be sure they are not interchanged (try interchanging them just un case). Dont use long wires. It looks like a circuit issue

[dgatf]

I see you are using a HW v5 LH ESC. Could you post the ESC signature by enabling #debug DEBUG_ESC_HW_V4 It will appear before raising throttle and the output is S: and some hex values. I'm trying to autodetect the ESC model to adjust sensor transformations Are you getting correct values for the current? Thanks

[stefaanbolle]

Actually I use a HW V4 => my config was wrong

[stefaanbolle]

Running out of ideas. Swapped SDA and SCL, same result. The BMP gets 3,3V Wires are 7cm

[dgatf]

Do you have another Arduino to test with?

[dgatf]

Could you post a picture or a link to your bmp280 module?

[dgatf]

Your module may be stuck in SPI mode I've modified the I2C scanner to loop every 3sec Flash the updated _i2cscan.ino. To select I2C mode, CS pin must be high (3.3v) at startup (connect the pin before power up). I believe you can disconnect the pin after bootup and needs to be done only once

[stefaanbolle]

There is no CS pin on the module VCC - GND - SCL - SDA - CS0 and SD0

[dgatf]

CS=CS0

[stefaanbolle]

CS=CS0 CSB I meant. Tried that one, same result

[dgatf]

Maybe a picture of the circuit you made will help

[stefaanbolle]

See attached. The yellow wire is going to D20 - SDA and the blue to D21 - SCL VCC to 3.3V and GND to GND on the Mega2560 board.

[dgatf]

Looks ok... don't know what else...

You can try connecting SD0 to GND or 3.3V. This defines the address (0x76, 0x77). With CSB disconnected or to 3.3v

You can try 5V version of BMP280, which is 4 pins and only I2C. Though I'm using the same board as you, 3.3v 6 pins, without any issue

Try with another Arduino
