Add support for BOB3? about platform-atmelavr HOT 19 OPEN

Please re-test with the latest development branch of dev platform (has not been released yet). Try dev version:

pio platform uninstall atmelavr
pio platform install https://github.com/platformio/platform-atmelavr.git

Does it work for you?

from platform-atmelavr.

Unfortunately not. I tried with the most simple example program:

`#include <BOB3.h>

void setup() {
bob3.setLed(EYE_1, WHITE);
}`

Here is the error on build:

Hi @texjoachim !
Looks like your code doesn't contain a mandatory loop function. Here is a simple blink sketch for your board:

#include <Arduino.h>
#include <BOB3.h>

void setup()
{
  // initialize LED digital pin as an output.
  pinMode(LED_BUILTIN, OUTPUT);
}

void loop()
{
  // turn the LED on (HIGH is the voltage level)
  digitalWrite(LED_BUILTIN, HIGH);
  // wait for a second
  delay(1000);
  // turn the LED off by making the voltage LOW
  digitalWrite(LED_BUILTIN, LOW);
   // wait for a second
  delay(1000);
}

Does it work?

from platform-atmelavr.

Ok, this one compiles perfectly, thanks!

However, I get an error message when I try to upload the sketch:

platformio run --target upload

I've updated the platformio.ini to:

[env:bob3]
platform = atmelavr
board = bob3
framework = arduino
upload_port = /dev/ttyACM0

But it still complains about COM1 which, being a Linux system, doesn't exist.

from platform-atmelavr.

Please

1. pio update
2. Remove upload_port from your platformio.ini. PIO should detect port automatically.
3. Try uploading again.

from platform-atmelavr.

This is an improvement as it now finds the correct port.

Looking for upload port...
Auto-detected: /dev/ttyACM0
*** [upload] could not open port /dev/ttyACM0: [Errno 16] Device or resource busy: '/dev/ttyACM0'

However, now it can't open it. Here are the details on the port:

crw-rw---- 1 root dialout 166, 0  3. Mai 20:32 /dev/ttyACM0

Needless to say I'm in group dialout so the permissions should be alright.

Could you try to reconnect this board?

from platform-atmelavr.

I did that.
No change. :(

from platform-atmelavr.

Could you program this board with Arduino IDE?

from platform-atmelavr.

No, it is only possible to program this board with some website.
That's one of the reasons I wanted to use Atom which I use for my UNOs, too.

from platform-atmelavr.

OK, does it work wit that site? Maybe, that site via Google Chrome's Serial uses your board

1. Reboot your machine
2. Don't open Chrome.
3. Try PIO

from platform-atmelavr.

The problem with that site (https://www.progbob.org/) is that it uses a special connector program (dude.bob3.org) which you have to compile yourself (which fails on openSUSE). It does not use Chrome (which I don't even have installed.)

from platform-atmelavr.

Could we close this issue?

from platform-atmelavr.

If there is no hope left to get it to work, of course.

from platform-atmelavr.

You should decide which software to use. That is not our requirements. If your serial device is occupied by another program, we can not use it anymore while that program will release it.

If you would like to sue PIO, then don't run that "special connector program ".

from platform-atmelavr.

I don't run that program as I didn't even compile it. As far as I know, no program is using a serial device.

from platform-atmelavr.

So I would really like to use PIO.

from platform-atmelavr.

Please sorry, I've not got you. Let's forget about PIO.

Could you try this command in system terminal?

screen /dev/ttyACM0

Do you see any error?

from platform-atmelavr.

I get ...
[screen is terminating]

and sometimes I get nothing, that is the cursor is away and the terminal window just stays blank.
