Problem with mode Spectral Clouds! #4

Closed frekkia closed 4 years ago

frekkia commented 4 years ago

I have a problem with the Spectral Clouds (Kammerl) mode, the module stops and freeze after a short while I use it what can it be?

patrickdowling commented 4 years ago

Hm, that's the first I've heard of something like that (which isn't saying much I guess). To start with the basics, maybe that will yield some clues...

what module (DIY?)
is that just when first switching to the mode from another, or even when it starts in it
what settings

Hi Patrick, Yes is diy. Either way, both when I change modes and when I start with that. Could it be a firmware flash problem? I used the original mutable-environment of pichenettes without changing it, then yesterday I read that you should use mqtthiqss stmlib, and update the gcc-arm-none-eabi. I tried to flash via Supercell's WAV and this seems to work well, not that problem anymore, but I'd be curious if the problem may be the original mutable suite. Thanks!

Yes, the stmlibs do diverge in a few places so it's not a good idea to mix & match. If you build with the mutable stmlib it won't properly support the different MCU model. The firmware was mostly tested using gcc 5.4 so that's what's recommended.

How do i update gcc? I use windows, I have tried but I have not succeeded!

I can't say how it works on Windows. What I generally do (on OS X or Linux, so it should work within vagrant) is

download the compiler version (e.g. from here or here)
Unpack it somewhere. Since I need multiple versions I have a whole bunch of them in ~/dev
In a shell, use something like export TOOLCHAIN_PATH=~/dev/gcc-arm-none-eabi-5_4-2016q3/ to select which one to use
make etc.
