Status Lights

 The 4 leds will start off not lit.

  They count down 1/4 of the cameraInterval each When they go blank the cameras flash.

 

 Debug Mode  Led 0,Led 3

 Network Ready =Led 0, Led 2, Led 3

 Write Error In Debug Mode = Led2, Led 3

 

 

Camera's

 

DigitalLineOut 0 = Camera0

DigitalLineOut 1 = Camera1

DigitalLineOut 2 = Camera2

DigitalLineOut 3 = Camera3

 

 

- Current interval one pic per 7 seconds for 2 hours flight this will be ~1000 pics

 

 

Primary Cut Down

 

DigitalLineOut 4

~515 pictures into flight or ~1 hour the DigitalOutLine 4 goes LOW for 6 camera cycles or 42 seconds.

 

 

 

 

Thermisisters

 

 

voltage = 3.3 * ( a / 1023.0 )

Temp from voltage needs to be figured out from the reference points we took.

 

Startup Mode

Jump a 5V power pin and AnalogIn 3 for 1 second.

 

Shutdown Mode

Jump a 5V power pin and AnalogIn 3 for ~10 seconds

 

Debugging Mode

Jump a 5V power pin to AnalogIn 4

 

 

Network Address  192.168.0.200

Network Mask       255.255.255.0

Port                       2112

 

 

$ nc 192.168.0.200 2112

T

 

Tests the Eeprom by writing all A's to it.

 

 

$ nc 192.168.0.200 2112

D

 

Dumps the Eeprom over the socket.

 

$ nc 192.168.0.200 2112

R

 

Reset the Eeprom to all 0's

 

Reprogram mode (DOES NOT WORK YET)

$ nc 192.168.0.200 2112

S:a:b:c

a = cameraInterval

b = cameraShutterInterval

c =  cutDownCount   ( cameraInterval * cutDownCount  = totalBurnTime)

 

Networking Issues

 

The networking stack has some bug in it I've been trying to chase down for two days where after you close a server socket it won't let you reopen it.

To issue more than one debug command prejump the board and issue the next command.

 

 

 

Eeprom Issues

 

The Eeprom will only read/write 1 byte at a time so I wrote some wrapper functions to write and dump the prom.

The addressing code shipped with the Make controller has a bug. Edit eeprom.c and replace all

 

c[1]...'s

 

with

 

c[ 1 ] = (unsigned char)((address >> 8) & 0xFF );

 

Floating Point ?

 

Floating point isn't working in Thumb mode, I tried doing a stripped compile in ARM mode but that didn't work either. 

Compiling everything in arm mode makes the code too large to fit on the make controllers flash. I don't have time to sort YAAB out.

 (percentage of 3.3v) = ( 100*  a) / 1023

 

 330 * (percentage of 3.3v)  = storeable value in eeprom

(storeable value in eeprom) / 1000 = analog in voltage to 4 points of percision. We can calculate the temps post "recovery"
