Re: eTPU based serial

I saw this but I can't see how it can be used with the eTPU UARTS.

I am happy to control the RS485 driver IC myself. COM0 is the debug port, COM1 is not used as I have this allocated to CAN and COM2 is used to drive a modem as the PPP library only supports the standard UARTS.

eTPU based serial

Has anyone used the eTPU for serial communications on the MOD5234? I have looked through all the code and libraries I can find etc and can't see for a way to know if the data has been transmitted? I am using 2 serial ports on the eTPU with RS485 and I need to know when the transmit buffer is empty s...

Re: CS1,2,3

Hi there, Thanks. Because I am trying to test with a colour LCD which has a 0.5mm pitch connector, I need to make up a simple test PCB to connect the DEV100 board to my LCD interface PCB. I will use the DEV100 buffered bus connections to this test board. The main PCB I have designed, but not yet com...

CS1,2,3

Hi all, I don't yet have my Netburner DEV kit and there is no manuals on the website I can download. I am finishing off a custom PCB for it and I need to check if any of the Chip Selects, 1,2 or 3 areconnected to anything internal to the Netburner module or are these free for external use? Cheers, D...

Re: Connecting a 6800 bus LCD display to Netburner

Thanks for both solutions. The first one sounds the best for my application as I want to map the LCD into the memory map and simply access it directly without doing any GPIO etc. This would ensure that it works at the fastest speed. I am not keen to use things like for loops to create delays. They a...

Connecting a 6800 bus LCD display to Netburner

Hi all, I have an LCD that has a 6800 bus and the only issue I have is figuring out where I can generate the E (Enable) input to the LCD display. The MOD5234 does not have an E output and looking at the datasheet for the LCD (http://www.crystalfontz.com/products/320240f/datasheets/1936/CFAF320240FTT...

Re: Multiple functions with the eTPU

Excellent. Thanks for the reply RG. Just what I needed to know and I also looked more into the docs and found what you where referring to. This will save me an extra 2 IC's as now I can do the GPIO via the unused eTPU pins. My board design is almost done so I should be ready to test all this in abou...

Multiple functions with the eTPU

Can you have more than 1 function running on the eTPU at the same time? What I have currently is 4 additonal serial ports, which I have the software information for on how to do this. I also need 2 PWM channels on 2 of the remaining channels. Can this be done and is there code within Netburner to do...

Re: i2c code for a Honeywell HMC6343 Tilt Compensated Compass?

Looking at the datasheet for this device, it looks very simple if all you need to do is get out heading, pitch and roll. The end of the datasheet shows the commands to send and get back this information. Are you looking for a more complex driver for this that will handle calibration, setup etc? Chee...
