#25427 How much current can you draw from the 5v pin?

#25473 How much current can you draw from the 5v pin?
Posted by DrJaymz on 13 March 2012 - 08:24 PM in Netduino Plus 2 (and Netduino Plus 1)
Hi DrJaymz,
Does this help?
http://forums.netdui...-5v-header-pin/
Well it states that the 5v regulator on board is good to 800mA we know that the controller uses about 250 so that leaves 550mA to stay in the current spec. So as long as the on board reg doesn't overheat we're good. The reg will shutdown in the event it gets too hot so it should be fine. perhaps my issues could be insufficient supply decoupling.
#25516 How much current can you draw from the 5v pin?

Yes, pretty sure that could be a power issue.
I would not be comfortable with a constant 800mA draw, even if its not shutting down, I don't like my board to be getting so warm. This could cause the board to get quite warm. I like to power via 5V rail with either a PC power supply, or a similar stand alone supply, and only use the on-board regulator for small projects.
It'll be fine, you worry too much, what could possibly go wrong....... (don't know why they worry at work when I say that)

#25745 Deployment problem

As mysteriously as it stopped working, it started again. So, please ignore.
Yeah, it does that. A lot.
#37396 Converting Single to String with 2 decimals
Posted by DrJaymz on 18 October 2012 - 09:02 PM in Visual Basic Support
Yes Thats the solution, thank you Dr Jaymz.
Yay.... I am so used to using String.Format that I really miss it, but obviously handling strings on a puny system like this is always going to be slow or memory intensive. I'm glad that F2 works for you and I don't know why I can't find it documented anywhere.

Try ToString("#.##")
ToString("F2")

#37181 4.2 Confusion
Posted by DrJaymz on 14 October 2012 - 08:07 PM in Netduino Plus 2 (and Netduino Plus 1)
Yes, understand, but it will not let me. I'm running XP 32 bit.
I clicked uninstall driver
Then let it install it again.
then just now it worked.
#37175 4.2 Confusion
Posted by DrJaymz on 14 October 2012 - 07:19 PM in Netduino Plus 2 (and Netduino Plus 1)
Switching to serial and then back again makes no difference.
I cannot install the MFUSB.ini because windows says:
The specified location does not contain information about your hardware.
With only OK as an option.
So I guess were stuffed then.
The only thing I thought about was the bootloader being at fault.
#37171 4.2 Confusion
Posted by DrJaymz on 14 October 2012 - 07:02 PM in Netduino Plus 2 (and Netduino Plus 1)
Hi DrJaymz,
Can you please try two things really quickly?
1. Open up your project properties and go to the ".NET Micro Framework" tab. Change transport from USB to Serial. Then change it back to USB. Try to run your app again.
2. If that doesn't work, please try switching back to the MFUSB drivers.
If all that fails, there are two final options:
1. If you're running Visual Studio 2012 (or would like to try Visual Studio Express for Windows Desktop), upgrade to the .NET MF 4.3 beta SDK. It has dramatically better diagnostics when deploying and it supports .NET MF 4.2 boards as usual.
2. Reflash your Netduino with the production 4.1 firmware. That's really a last resort, but if Visual Studio is failing to connect...it may b a bug which needs to be fixed in the NETMF 4.3 SDK.
Chris
P.S. If you're running inside a virtual machine, the standard WinUSB drivers may not be set up to handle that. Switching to the MFUSB drivers may be a solution there.
#37180 4.2 Confusion
Posted by DrJaymz on 14 October 2012 - 07:57 PM in Netduino Plus 2 (and Netduino Plus 1)
Hi DrJaymz,
Be sure that you're selecting the MFUSB_Netduino.inf file, not MFUSB.ini.
We're basically overriding the Windows driver system by forcing it to use MFUSB instead of WinUSB. Unless we select "no, let me choose" at every step it will try to use the driver specified for the VID/PID in the registry.

Yes, understand, but it will not let me. I'm running XP 32 bit.

#37168 4.2 Confusion
Posted by DrJaymz on 14 October 2012 - 06:46 PM in Netduino Plus 2 (and Netduino Plus 1)
Hi DrJaymz,
1. Install the .NET MF 4.2 QFE2 SDK
2. Install the Netduino 4.2 SDK (latest version)
3. Upgrade your board to the latest Netduino firmware
Please let me know how it works for you,
Chris
Done.
It will not deploy now. Whatever I try to do.
Incrementally deploying assemblies to device
Deploying assemblies for a total size of 1456 bytes
Assemblies successfully deployed to device.
You'd think its deployed then? No. The error comes up:
Error 1 Device not found or cannot be opened - USB:Netduino
Using MFDeploy I can get

So presumably the device is working. The output is set to deploy to netduino over USB.
So surprised it still can't really be used seriously.
