Avr is a collection of utility.
I don't have never used this for loading code in Arduino, is the first time I read of such the problem
I use Arduino IDE and don't have any problem
Click to expand...
must have been an issue with the arduino UNO I was using, grabbed the spare one and all worked well

One question I do have a PID settings is, has any one thought of included autotune library as per this site http://brettbeauregard.com/blog/2012/01/arduino-pid-autotune-library/
I seem to struggle with what settings to go with

I have the same problem:
avrdude: stk500_getsync(): not in sync: resp=0x00

I implemented this exact autotune library on my Mashturbator HERMS controller, and it's almost completely useless. You need to tune the autotune. It's actually easier to get tuning parameters by following any of the many guides out there on the internet. I used this one and had good results: PID without a PhD

In addition to this I have noticed a considerable difference if you compile with different operating systems.


I tried to compile with Lubuntu and I got these results

Lubuntu vs Windows XP = 852bytes
OSX Windows XP vx = 48bytes


Trying to compile as I've explained this result: 29.806!!!

Hi Max,

1. Thanks, after removing credits we've managed to get 30662 bytes байт from 30720 maximum under Windows.

2. For sources 2.6.61k, PCBs and Italian/English manuals - why don't you put them all to GitHub?

3. I've completed Russian manual and will send it to you in several days, after finishing styling. Maybe you'll also upload it to GitHub?

4. Braudino PCBs archive in your signature does not contain circuit diagram. Maybe you'll put it to GitHub as well - to have a complete project there?
 
Hi

1) :)
2) GitHub accept only .txt format
3) I have a new version (2.6.62) and related manual. coming soon
4) I have to check, the web space where there is not my PCB and is managed directly by SavioTecnich. However, we have prepared a new version of the PCB without the pump relay on board

We're working to make sure that everything is easy to use.
We tested the hypothesis handle everything through the website to be able to collect the entire project in one space.
 
Solved, that I get for not reading my manual.
It was just changing the settings from Arduino.
Sorry.
 
Hello to all
In recent days I have had a hand in code, and I made some small corrections .
I have corrected the errors reported for the manual and I upgraded to these little novelty.
We got to try the new revision directly on baked and we only found a small display error also correct.
They are then able to free up more space in the version for display 16x2 coming to occupy 31620 (compiled with Win XP).
I also added the pinout of the new PCB ArdBir forthcoming.

But then where I live ( Senigallia) is a successful disaster.
We were hit by a sudden, violent storm that did overflows the river at two points submerging much of the city with 2 feet of water and mud.
I have fortunately been saved from this tragedy but my friends do not.
I have so little time to test your code because I'm dedicating free time to help my friends who have lost almost everything.

We will then send the link of the Code and Manual and you hope you have the time that I lack to make a summary and tell me debug any errors or inaccuracies .
 
I am in the process of ordering one of the Brauduino kits from Lael and have been looking at the updated features on the ArdBir. What is involved in converting a Brauduino to an ArdBir? I haven't done anything with an Arduino before so if you could spell out the steps involved it would be greatly appreciated.

Cheers

Im having initial problems with my controller build. Assembled the controller pcb and attached the LCD and Andruino Uno. The Uno had the original mathos programming on it to begin with, but I cold not get the LCD to power on. The system was powered via USB on the Uno.

I programmed the ArBir in the Uno but had no change to the behavior. I don't have anything else than the Led's hooked up to the sheild. Is this a problem?

I can measure about 4.20v at the power input when the system has USB power.

Have you tried turning the little trim pot with a screwdriver, it can have a big effect and maybe all that's wrong.

That was it! Love the simple solution :super:

Onwards with the rest of the build.

Cheers!
 
Although I got the LCD working and the controls seem okay, I think my backlight in off for the LCD. It is very hard to read. Anything I need to change in the code to enable it? I run ArdBir now.
 
With the display I use (RGB) I had the same problem.
I solved by excluding the resistance on the circuit with a direct bridge as the display board had resistance on board.
I do not know if your case is similar to mine, you should understand that the display you are using.

Thanks for your reply and work with the development too! As I uderstand the LCD backlight is controlled trough pins 15 and 16 on the LCD board, labelled A and K. With the original Bramuiser connection I can measure 2.2v between these points.

I don't know how to work around the problem, would not like to start desoldering the 16-pin connection of the LCD as that really is a pain to get off.
 
The problem in my case was this:
The display on board its resistance and therefore the resistance on the pcb is in fact the sum and lowers the voltage again.
I did not remove the resistance on the pcb, I just soldered a jumper wire to pass current directly

HI lehtinel - when I was building one I got some resistors swapped and had a similar issue. I think I'd swapped R8 and R6 - they're stripes are fairly similar. Everything worked fine... but it was like the backlight was off.

Okay, I understand. I could achieve a similar effect by lowering or jumpering the resistor on the PCB, right?

Checked mine and they seem to be the right ones, Im pretty certain as I had to go out and buy them separately as I managed not to order them in my main part order.

Any guru opinions on jumpering or lowering R6?
 
Hi,
I had a problem with the LCD screen character "running" was used with 220V pump.
Solves this problem already. Was guilty of the pump control relay.
Instead mechanical relay, I used a SSR relay type S202S02F. I just want to warn that the relay control voltage is 1,4V
More with this problem is not exposed.

Sorry for my english :)
 
For whoever wrote that has problems with LCD
I am not sure what card you have
post a picture of the card above and below so I know you understand and help

Se dovete costruire adesso o anche se avete gia costruito consiglio sempre LCD 20x4 retroilluminazione verde
Io ho comprato qui

If you need to build now or even if you have already built always recommend 20x4 LCD backlight green

I bought here

Tradotto ENG Good Day,

I answer and add this note to all those who have asked for more about PCB reworked by DanielXan

You have only graphic files in BMP that are present in the packages that we have Linked

There are NO wiring diagrams or other type vector files or Gerber because DanielXan drew starting
directly from the side Copper wiring diagram of reference is that of the original Brauduino
where it was only changed the Pin Out to facilitate the routing

So useless to keep asking other formats of the PCB

If someone is able to do so can reshape it and put the Gerber files or other formats we can not fail to please smiley-grin

Thanks PS are well appreciated by the users info about any bugs or suggestions in the use of the program

In Italiano

Buon Giorno,

Rispondo e aggiungo questa nota per tutti quegli che hanno chiesto info sui PCB Rielaborati da DanielXan

Si hanno solo i files grafici in formato BMP che sono presenti nei pachetti che vi abbiamo Linkato

NON ci sono schemi elettrici o files di altra natura tipo vettoriali o Gerber perche DanielXan ha disegnato partendo
direttamente dal lato Rame lo schema elettrico di riferimento è quello del Brauduino originale
dove è stato solo modificato il Pin Out per agevolare lo sbroglio

[SIZE=10pt]Quindi inutile che continuate a chiedere altri formati del PCB[/SIZE]​

Se qualcuno è in grado di farlo puo ridisegnarlo e mettere il files Gerber o in altri formati a noi non puo che far piacere
smiley-grin.png


Grazie P.S sono ben graditi info dagli utilizzatori su eventuali Bug o Suggerimenti nel uso del programma
 
Are the ArdBir manuals still available, the dropbox links to both the Italian and English versions have been disabled.
 
In signature the link are related at old version.
I have posted the correct link many post ahead.
The new version is 2.6.62e
The signature are corrected now.
I'm sorry but I do not have too much time to do all the corrections, I thought that the publication of the links in the thread was already sufficient.
 
Cheers MaxN68, I did try the link that you posted on 6th May but didn't have any success with that one or the facebook links.

Thank you for updating them, it is much appreciated.
