So I've been running with 3 steppers connected to the tinyg (tinyg-23 v7 bios 0.95) though not connected to any machinery. Tests have been running nicely with steppers whizzing around as they should.
Just now I got my first stepper in place actually hooked up to the CNC y axis and also hooked up y axis min & max switches.
Fired it up, board went silent :( blue power LED is on, red led flickers when I send characters, but never any response (testing using cutecom). Reset pokings and power cyclings have produced no change :( Have disconnected all the new hardware.
OK, I got AVRStudio 4, and successfully flashed bootloader and tinyg sw. The board is back!!!!! YAY!!
Tomorrow I try to work out what I did wrong. Any ideas what might have caused this???????? ;P
btw: I have the node s/w in a repository now, just gimme a couple more days to make it presentable and I'll send a link. :)
link nits:
links to deprecated wiki from website, no obvious links from new wiki to instructions on flashing tinyg software (expect that contained in bootloader instructions), or direct link to tinyg.hex. I was able to find everything in a few mins, but it could be nicer. :)
What is a
node s/w mean? Also, there was a bug in the bootloader, which was recently fixed. Sorry about that. It looks like you reflashed with the recent xboot.hex? Also what deprecated links are you referring to? I will fix them.
I am pretty sure the xboot.hex you had was one that we had a bug in. Oh cool! I have some nodejs working right now with TinyG. NOTHING SPECIAL. It pretty much can read values.
I would like to see your work. Right now my time is really tied up with JavaFX on tgFX.
