does not compile under arduino 1.0 IDE #7

Closed jmr13031 closed 11 years ago

jmr13031 commented 12 years ago

WProgram.h needs to be arduino.h in the 1.0 IDE, Needs something like this in _Spi.h ...

if defined(ARDUINO) && ARDUINO >= 100

include "Arduino.h"

else

include "WProgram.h"

endif

And for some reason, the overloads of "write" function are not working....

jmr13031 commented 12 years ago

Ok, It looks like where you do a void write you need to replace it with a size_t write. Also it looks like the .print(var,BYTE); needs to be replace with a .write(var); BYTE is not supported in 1.0.

jmr13031 commented 12 years ago

I got the WiFly_Webserver running on my 1.0 wifly board. How does one go about sending the changes to the group? ;-)

DrGenetik commented 12 years ago

The usual process is to fork WiFly-Shield, make your changes to your fork, and then make a pull request. The pull request indicates that you want the maintainer of the WiFly-Shield to review your code and merge your branch from your fork into this fork. Btw, it's good practice to make a branch in your fork and have the changes for just this issue in that branch. Then issue the pull request for this branch into the parent's master and I think you can reference this issue in the pull request. Makes sense?

jmr13031 commented 12 years ago

@genetikayos, Seeing that I am new to making changes to a git repo. I have cloned the tree, but I am confused on if I do a branch at this point. Guess it's time to "RTFM" ;-)

DrGenetik commented 12 years ago

I suggest that, instead of cloning this project's tree, you first do project fork in github and then git clone your new fork. That will allow you to upload branches to your own fork and make a pull request from your fork to the parent project.

DrGenetik commented 12 years ago

You know, on second thought, if your changes aren't extensive, just post a patch. The process I was suggesting is really more if you decide to be a regular contributor and contribute extensive changes over time. If your changes are simple, a patch is easy.

jmr13031 commented 12 years ago

I have the patch file, but I seem to be running into a timing issue in the SpiUartDevice::available() function. Under Arduino 0.22 it works fine on my boards. But when I load it under Arduino 1.0 I never see the OPEN. When I put a Serial.print(readRegister(RXLVL)); above the return. I seems to start to work. I am going to hold on the patch file until I dig a little deeper. Time to read the data sheet on the uart.....

On a side note, the shield will not work on a MEGA due to pin changes (newbie issue on my part).

"On the Arduino Duemilanove and other ATmega168 / 328-based boards, the SPI bus uses pins 10 (SS), 11 (MOSI), 12 (MISO), and 13 (SCK). On the Arduino Mega, this is 50 (MISO), 51 (MOSI), 52 (SCK), and 53 (SS)." -James

rob100 commented 12 years ago

Any news about this? I'm trying to convert my current project to 1.0 and everything except the wifly library works fine. I would be really great if you update the library to 1.0 compatibility.

perezd commented 12 years ago

+1 on this

krohling commented 12 years ago

Yet another +1

jmr13031 commented 12 years ago

Been away from my arduino for a while. I will try to put together a patch. I hear your +1's ;-) -James

krohling commented 12 years ago

I will send you beer :)

DrGenetik commented 12 years ago

Yeah, I've been away from this and busy with life for a long while, too.

jmr13031 commented 12 years ago

Ok, Here is the "VERY" early version of my patch. Please try it out and let me know issues that you are having....... Tried to push the patch but the git server declined me so sorry for the long post..... James

jmr13031 commented 12 years ago

My system is using a version 1 of the shield. I seem to be getting a problem where the SPI_UART is hanging on the incoming serial stream from the shield. Let me know if people are seeing something like this with the newer versions of the shield. The odd part is works under the old Arudion IDE. I hope it is not something with the compiler....... Oh well, Time to RTFM....... ;-) James

jmr13031 commented 12 years ago

Ok, It looks like a timing issue going on. To get the webserver example to work. I had to change the function available() in SpiUart.cpp and add delay(2); It now seems to work ok on my system.

jmr13031 commented 12 years ago

Just did a fork of the git repo, you can find my changes under the jmr13031 fork....... -James

bobbrez commented 12 years ago

I submitted a pull request that will resolve this issue. Its currently pending.

silentbicycle commented 12 years ago

@jmr13031 : Your fork is working for me, thanks!

daneo commented 12 years ago

jmr13031 fork is working for me too! many thanks. sparkfun needs to pull this...

bobbrez commented 12 years ago

I appreciate that. I've tried contacting them, but its been a bit hard, but if you let their customer service know, that would probably help.

Maybe you (@jmr13031) should do a pull-request from your commit? 311156a2ea1226562875e28b40a3d164caa45ada

techdetect commented 12 years ago

Just signed up! Hope you don't mind the questions. As I have nothing else to give for a first timer. I have the mega 1280, wifly 2.23 version and hope to connect to cosm. I have make huge progress, but totally need your help. I am using Arduino 1.0.1 but can use anything to get the wifly to work if you know what i mean. Hope you can all help. SO far it just fails to connect using the wifi _SPI library. I am over the most noobie issues such as the pin config and ssid, pphrase. Basically, i am looking for a mentor. Any help would be appreciated. Especially a tutorial.

bobbrez commented 12 years ago

I'm out of town. I'll try to take a look into this near the end of the week.

Thanks for your reply.

Tonight i used arduino IDE 23 with mega 1280. I followed mgisolutions.blogspot.com/2012/05/arduino-wifly-shield-tutorial.html. I did the "send the following commands..." section and instead of using my home router ssid, i used the my_adhoc_network. I was able to see that on my internet connection display, yeah... prior to that i did the get everything and copied the ip address of the wifly. followed everything from there on. Uploaded the IDE code (compiled correctly Yeah) and tried to open a browser to get the LED on. NO go here. Some of my issues may be that i only have tx/rx pins, 10-13 pins vin pin and grd pin connected to the arduino and shield. I know that i am suppose to have the shield ontop without 10-13 conected but that was from an earlier tutorial. I am stuck at changing the ip address of my computer and net mask so that i can connect to the web server the wifly is at. Have some suggestions. I feel that i have broken some ground here on my problem. Thanks for your reply so quickly before. I hope your travel goes well. Take care. Tried to go with IDE 1.0 as well from the site. Maybe i am missing something on the webclient/webserver, it hangs on connecting.? Maybe i need to reset the wifly to factory and start over. Thanks again. Keep up the good work. Techdetect..

I'm closing this particular issue as the library has been updated to compile under 1.0+. If you have any additional updates for the library, either submit a pull request or please open a new issue. Thanks all!
