The custom arduinoBLE dependency is missing #47

Closed omegat closed 3 years ago

Hi,

I tried to build the code, but PIO is complaining about not finding https://github.com/dlktdr/HeadTracker.git And... it's not there. Is there any alternative to use?

Cheers, Tobi

Hi Tobi, you either need to git clone the repo locally, e.g. git clone --recursive https://github.com/dlktdr/HeadTracker.git or download the zip https://github.com/dlktdr/HeadTracker/archive/refs/heads/master.zip and unpack it.

You might also want to re-visit the following help page https://headtracker.gitbook.io/head-tracker/support/development/firmware

If you still do not proceed, plz post a screenshot of the PlatformIO showing the error.

Hi thanks for the quik answer! I cloned the repository and tried to build it using the commandline:

I then cloned it again /w --recursive as you suggested, but:

I get that the non-zephyr-version might be deprecated, but why is it there then?

dlktdr commented 3 years ago

The custom Arduino BLE code I actually just removed from my GitHub the other day starting to clean things up. And hadn't yet removed it from main. Didn't think about that my bad. I'll find an copy of it and put it back up there.

I would highly suggest using the zephyr version though. 1.0 was pretty buggy having to patch the BLE library didn't work very well.

omegat commented 3 years ago

No worries, sounds great! :) In truth I'm after the code to send trainer signals to a FrSky Para Radio. I used a PPM receiver until now but the new release of OTX broke the trainer port for me. So forking/building a PPM/SBUS->Para adapter on a basis of your code seemed like a good idea. But I also have/use an instance of the head traker and really love it!

dlktdr commented 3 years ago

All good that's what open source is all about!

Yuri was the one who initially figured out how to get the para working on the Arduino BLE library.

My modified library was the items he changed here and a few other minor ones that cause crashes at high CPU usage. https://github.com/ysoldak/HeadTracker

There should be I pre-modified one saved on my server still I'll upload when I get home.

dlktdr commented 3 years ago

Also can't you just use my code as is and not have to modify anything? It already supports PPM in and Bluetooth out? Just leave all the other channels set off. Close to getting SBUS in working too.

I mean I get the point of playing around with it too. Can just be fun.

dlktdr commented 3 years ago

Modified Arduino BLE LIB is back. Old versions also removed from master.

Please see tag 1.0RC1 for most recent Arduino/MBED Code https://github.com/dlktdr/HeadTracker/tree/V1.0RC1

omegat commented 3 years ago

Good morning ;) Thank you!! The initial plan was to remove all the AHRS-stuff and port it to a more cheap NRF52832 module. But you certainly have a point, especially because the tracker is not used 99% of me flying... I'll test that for sure! Thanks again and keep up the great work!

dlktdr commented 3 years ago

I guess the other reason I would suggest Zephyr is how sketchy I found the ArduinoBLE lib at times.. but without all the extra CPU used you should be okay.

FYI. Something I found later that's not in that code. Increase the BLE connection interval in Arduino/MBED to min 6 (7.5ms) max 10 (12.5ms) & increase the update interval more. Will help to get those updates to the radio quicker.
