netiness

After accidently turning at least three of the io-ports on my NP2 to output only, I moved into using the emulator for a while. I can use it to simulate my io connections, spi and i2c device all fine. But I also want to handle the onewire temperature-sensor. I've looked into the NetMF sources, and see that OneWire is mapped directly to a cpu pin, even though an OutputPort is passed to its constructor (which lead me to believe that I could use it in the emulator in the first case). Is it possible to debug/emulate OneWire devices in the emulator, or will I have to use a special class just for deplyment to the emulator ? This shouldn't be too hard to do, but I dont like to use defines depending on the "deployment platform". 

Thanks in advance,

Still learning but boy is this fun. A big thanks to the people at Secret Labs !! 

I have a TFT display like this one

http://www.elecfreak...#External_Links

I have connected it with SCK on D13,MOSI on D11, CS on D10, reset on A1, D/C on A2.

I have converted the source from the above link to C# and have no problem setting pixels on the display. Really slooow, but it works. Now, I would like to try using SPI to speed things up, but have run into some problems.

This is how I have found the SPI should be initialized :

Device1 = new SPI.Configuration(       Pins.GPIO_PIN_D10, // CS-pin       false,             // CS-pin active state       0,                 // The setup time for the SS port        0,                 // The hold time for the SS port       true,              // The idle state of the clock       false,             // The sampling clock edge       1000,              // The SPI clock rate in KHz        SPI_Devices.SPI1   // The used SPI bus (refers to a MOSI MISO and SCLK pinset)   );                SPIBus = new SPI(Device1);

I use the following for sending data/commands to the display. Note that if I set UseSPI=false everything works as expected

 void LCD_Write_Bus(byte data)        {            if (UseSPI)            {                SPIBus.Write(new byte[] { data });            }            else            {                P_CS.Write(false);                for (byte c = 0; c < 8; c++)                {                    P_MOSI.Write((data & 0x80) != 0);                    data = (byte)(data << 1);                    P_SCK.Write(false);                    P_SCK.Write(true);                }                P_CS.Write(true);            }        }        void LCD_Write_COM(byte VL)        {            P_DC.Write(false);            LCD_Write_Bus(VL);        }        void LCD_Write_DATA(byte VL)        {            P_DC.Write(true);            LCD_Write_Bus(VL);        }

Anyone experience who can point me in the right direction ?

Hello all,

I'm all very new to this, so please excuse a beginner for asking questions; I've only had the NP2 for a couple of weeks.

I was under the impression that any pin could be used for gpio, but if I try to use Pin 12 for output, the NP2 crashes - so hard that I have to reflash the firmware. Also, if I remove the USB cable before Visual Studio times out the connection I am greated with a BSOD.

This statement stop everything for me:

public OutputPort SpindlePort = new OutputPort(Cpu.Pin.GPIO_Pin12, false);

Pin 13 is OK to use, but is there any reason for me not being able to use Pin 12 as I want to (or do I have to disable something since this pin belongs to the SPI interface) ?

Regard,

Kjetil
