LXSeries Lighting Software

I found the issue. The wrong hardware was being defined by the Arduino IDE, and using the standard Arduino-Zero variant.cpp instead of the Sparkfun Dev Board Arduino Zero variant.cpp. I fixed the by commenting out the definition of the SERCOM5_Handler() in the standard Arduino Zero variant.cpp line ...

Ok, I got everything compiling. Hardware checks out Tx=30 Rx=31 DIRECTION_PIN (DMX_RE/DE) = 14. I can see RDM requests being input into the RX pin on the SAMD21. RDMDeviceTest does nothing. No RDM ID is returned. No serial data of any kind is being reported by the serial debug monitor. I set DIRECTI...

For unknown reason, the Sparkfun Dev Board is an "Arduino Zero". Serial Monitor is normally Serial.print. On the Sparkfun, Serial.print prints to pins 30,31 - the pins need to have connected to SerialDMX. Serial1.print prints to D0, D1 and SerialUSB.print prints to the USB. The latter is t...

Yes, sorry if I am verbose. I assume someday, someone like me will run across these posts and will appreciate detail Yes, I had a question. You use "pin(31ul)" in your definitions in LXSAMD21DMX.h. I've looked for the meaning of "ul" appended to the pin number and I can't find wh...

I added this macro to LXSAMD21DMX.h #elif ( use_optional_sercom_macros == 6 ) //********************** optional sercom macros 6 ********************** // Arduino Zero Port 0 aka Serial.xxx calls go to this port Port 1 aka Serial1.xxx calls go to pins D0,D1 // SerialUSB.xxx calls go to the USB port a...

I am using Arduino 1.8.13. The Sparkfun SAMD21 DEV Breakout board appears as an Arduino Zero. I deleted the old LXSAMD21 library and downloaded and re-installed the updated library from GitHub. Now it compiles! Thanks for doing that. Now to figure out how to get the serial ports working correctly. T...

I'm new to C++ but have been designing and programming Lighting hardware for 10+ years. I'm trying learn some new things and add bluetooth, wifi etc to mix and get away from MPLab. I'm attempting to to build a small DMX/RDM prototype board using the SAMD21 DEV Breakout board. It has a SAMD21G18. I j...
