"Blink" example doesn't blink

[d13g4]

Hi! I loaded the example code in the arduino ide for blink and it didn't do anything. I then loaded the basic example code for blink and it worked without problems. I didn't change anything in the example - should i have? I am using an arduino nano and i know HeliOS is about the limit for it, might that be a problem? I have no experience with OS on microcontrollers and previously did everything "by hand".

@d13g4 No changes to the code should be necessary for the Arduino Nano. I will build the Blink example on an ATMega328 based board using the Arduino IDE and get back to you. Thank you for bringing the issue to my attention. Manny

@d13g4 just a thought, try changing the line

xTaskChangePeriod(blink, 1000000);

to

xTaskChangePeriod(blink, 1000);

See if that fixes it.

[d13g4]

Yes! Thats it, thank you. I changed it to 10000 before, but obviously I wasn't patient enough.

@d13g4 yeah that is a bug in the example. I will fix on next release so others don't have the same issue. Thank you.

Hi Guys! I have tried 3 kinds of MCU : amega328P (16Mzh), esp8266(80Mzh), and lgt8F328P(16Mzh,and 32Mzh) . The same example codes "blink" (I have already fixed the bug "xTaskChangePeriod(blink, 1000);" ).

The result as following : amega328P OK ,of course Lgt8F328P OK ,MCU clock run on both 16Mhz and 32Mhz esp8266EX (board is WEMOS D1 mini ) NOT working , MCU clock run on neither 80Mzh nor 160Mhz ... the led is flashing ,but too fast! maybe flashing every 500ms or 300ms .

So ,for esp8266 ,should I confing some parms. or do someting setting jobs first ?

Thank you and best wishes!

I will look into the ESP8266 issue. Thank you for brining it to my attention! 😀

@sakunamary the bug in HeliOS on the ESP8266 is now fixed. When I release 0.3.4 the fix will be included. The release should be available this week. Thanks!
