Hi,

I'm using Visual C# 2010 Express with Netduino SDK 4.2.1

 

when I try my software by pressing F5 in Visual C#, anyway if it's in Debug or Release

at startup, the Netduino read data from SD card (name, server_ip and server_port)

and it connect to my server, when I push a button on it, the good signal is sended, all work nice

 

but if I disconnect the Netduino Plus 2 and use an external power supply,

the Netduino connect correctly on server, but button is no working any more, no signal receive by server

 

Why my software is only working if launched by Visual Studio and no working in stand alone ?

 

Best regards

Hi DRMons, If you connect the USB cable and the external power supply and just watch the program output via MFDeploy, do you experience the same issue? The garbage collector may be more/less active when the debugger isn't attached, due to the changed memory usage in the device. If that's the case...be sure that you an event you're counting on isn't tied to an object which has gone out of scope. Does that help point you in the right direction? Welcome to the Netduino community, Chris

Hi Chris,

 

Firstly, thanks for you quick answer

 

So, I connected the USB cable and the power supply as asked, I launched MFDeploy and see the program output but the result is the same.

 

Some details about my netduino program

  it read datas on SD card (machine_name, server_ip, server_port and timer)

  if datas are successfully get, 3 Thread are launched :

  MessageManager

  ProductionManager

  NetworkManager

  the ProductionManager Thread get datas from a Tinkerkit shield

  there are some troubles with network, so, the server connection is not always available

  so, ProductionManager send datas at MessageManager, this one keep datas waiting to be send at server

  when the NetworkManager is started, it look if somes messages are present in MessageManager, if yes, it send it and remove it

  when connected to server, the Netduino sent the initial state get from the TinkerKit (ENG_ON/ENG_OFF and COMP_ON/COMP_OFF)

 

 

On MFDeploy, I saw the following output :

  MessageManager started!

  ProductionManager started!

  NetworkManager started!

  Connected to server!

  MACHINE_NAME=P08

  Sent Message :ENG_ON

  Sent Message :COMP_OFF

 

On server, I see the Netduino connected and the initial state is correct but all seems blocked on the Netduino

 

Now, if I launched the program from Visual C# 2010 Express, I get the same but no blocked, so new datas from the TinkerKit continue to be sended to server

 

So, why the Netduino behavior is different depending how I launch the soft ?

Hi again Chris,

 

This blocking trouble is solved !

with the log of MFDeploy, I saw the different Threads was not starting in the same order compared with when it's launched by Visual studio

So, I added a function at Thread (IsWorking()) and in the main part, the program wait the previous Thread is finished to load before to load the next one
