Hi Andi,


What do you have on Port5? There is no Serial module for GoBus yet.

If you disable the GoBus channel (GoPorts 5-8) then you can use the UART pins on any of those ports directly. Otherwise they're reserved for GoBus.

Hi Chris,

just a quick one.

As Im using more than 5 ports, and I would use the button module, is there any timeline for the GoBus Hub on the horizon?

Cheers

Andi ;-)

Simply by using the UART you've disabled the other ports. Those pins are shared among all 4 ports. Same goes for ports 1-4 if you use the UART there you disable all of those ports as well.

Hi Arron,

great. Thanks for this important info!

As I need more than 5 ports, I would go now for the shield base, correct?

Cheers

Andi ;-)

Hi Chris,

I am using UART for serial comm on port 5. I assume I havent disabled the GoBus channel. Thats a great hint. Sorry for the stupid question, how can I do this?

Many thanks for helping out

Andi

Andi,

Not sure what the status is, Did you get it working?

If not I will try to help but without knowing a little more information on what is connected to the Netduino Go and something about how you have written the code it is difficult to help correct the problem.

If you are not working on a super secret project, it would help to know:

• What modules you have plugged in and where.
• What references and firmware you are using.
• The code you are trying to run.
• It sounds like you have a shieldbase for the serial, which com port (you can't use com1 on pins D0 & D1 yet)

The more you can share the easier it is to help identify the problem. It will also help show others how to do something they may be looking for.

Hi Chuck,

this are the 4 differenz port distributions I have used


Successful, Failing, Failing, Failing

Port1: LED, -, -, -

Port2: Poti1, Poti1, Poti1 ,Poti1

Port3: NWAZET, LCD, LCD, LCD

Port4: Poti2, LED, -, -

Port5: serial, comm, serial, serial,

Port6: -, -, -, LED

Port7: button, button, button, button

Port8: -, Poti2, LED, -

I will come back in the next days as I dont have my program currently in front of me ;-)

Cheers and thanks a lot for your help

Hi Chris, Hi Chuck, I have tried both, taking out the specific port out of the constructor, this didnt help. Moving the second Potentiometer to another port (port 4) helped. I have tried the following combinations (some have one Poti only!), 'failing' means that debugging complained once port of Poti2 or if no Poti2 was there, LED was called Successful Failing Failing Failing Port1: LED - - - Port2: Poti1 Poti1 Poti1 Poti1 Port3: NWAZET LCD LCD LCD LCD Port4: Poti2 LED - - Port5: serial comm serial serial serial Port6: - - - LED Port7: button button button button Port8: - Poti2 LED - However, solution 1 worked in debug mode only as long as I didnt use serial comm. What I realized several times now (which is not an issue but now we as we know it we just have to make sure that we do it) is that only after deploying and re-connecting the board, serial comm is working. Cheers Andi ;-)
