Re: Data Bus as GPIO (Beginner)

Thanks for the correction Paul. I had always used the 573 with an inverter, now I have something new to use for future designs and simpler too! :o) Interesting that you use the 573 for inputs!! Noted too... :o) If duo2k is using his own hardware with a Netburner module and not the dev kit, he will h...

Re: Data Bus as GPIO (Beginner)

Looking at the hardware for the databus this is not going to be possible without some extra IO connected to it. It doesn't, as far as can see support being used as GPIO. I have an LCD connected as a 16 bit data bus so doing IO is actually quite simple with these processors as you have control of the...

Re: eTPU Quad Encoder Init malloc error

Hi Sam, I think someone from Netburner will need to help here. What you did should be enough to include the set you need. In fact, I use this method as the original test before I went to the Freescale website to build my own set. I needed UART, PWM, QD and SPI and none of the supplied sets had this ...

Re: Input Voltage Read

There is no ADC built into the MOD5234 so you will need an external ADC to do this. If your speed of input is not so fast, check out the MCP3424 from Microchip as this is programmable from 12 bit to 18 bit and works over an I2C bus. I use this with the MOD5234 and it works extremely well. It has a b...

Re: eTPU Quad Encoder Init malloc error

Have you built a custom eTPU for your Netburner module as the standard one that comes with the dev kit does not have Quadrature in there. All the function calls are in the code, but the actual microcode for the eTPU is not.

Re: Interpreting taskScan

I've historically had problems with getting the debugger to attach so I've gotten out of the habit of using it, but if you're problem isn't timing related and the debugger starts with no problem it could be the fastest way to solve the problem. Hi Tod, Not sure if this is related, but I too had iss...

Re: UCOS_ENTER_CRITICAL()

Can you show the code that you are using to make the calls?

Are you previously calling OSCritInit to initialise it?

Re: qspi multiple devices

You only have to worry about the init of the QSPI if you are using more than 1 device with different settings across different tasks. I am using the SD card with the filing system and with a touch screen controller so I have to make changes to the SPI so that I could use a criticial section to handl...

Re: SB72 + Photoelectric Sensor

Glad to see you got it going. Is quite satisfying when it just works isn't it?

Good luck with the rest of the project.

Re: 5234 - eTPU & RS422

Yes, I am using a PIT for the timing. I have only gotten the Modbus slave port to work and next I will do the Modbus Master next. I am therefore only using a single timer for now. As I have a common Modbus library I am looking at how to have it use a different timer. As the speeds can be different o...
