#64655 Interrupt Port Ghosts

Posted by WriterGuy on 18 December 2015 - 03:39 PM in Netduino Plus 2 (and Netduino Plus 1)

Unfortunately, I had to unsolve my problem. Replacing all the components back into my case seems to have brought my phantom flashing LEDs back from the grave. The capacitors are in place and making good connection, its just something about having everything together inside the case is triggering the issue anyway.

I was able to fix the problem by adding .1uF capacitors between the interrupt port pins used and ground. This seemed to stabilize the circuit and there are no random flashing lights at all! Thanks to all that helped out!

KiwiDev,

 

Thanks for the reply. I actually just went the Thread.Sleep route because I wasn't having luck with the timers. Would setting up a timer for each of my 6 interrupts be relatively easy or would it be adding a lot of extra code?




#64638 Interrupt Port Ghosts

Posted by WriterGuy on 10 December 2015 - 07:01 PM in Netduino Plus 2 (and Netduino Plus 1)

Every time I try to upload the diagram, I get an error saying that "no file was selected for upload." Is this a common problem on the forums?

I seem to be unable to upload any files. Any time I select my file to upload, it loads for a second and then says that "no file was selected for upload". Is this a common problem on the forum?




#64629 Interrupt Port Ghosts

Posted by WriterGuy on 09 December 2015 - 06:03 PM in Netduino Plus 2 (and Netduino Plus 1)

Hello all,

 

I am working on a project with my Netduino Plus 2. I am encountering a strange problem.

 

In a nutshell, the device I'm designing is running tests on a circuit board to check for functionality. I am using the Netduino to send signals to this board. I have 6 push-buttons that trigger interrupts which send certain signals to the board being tested. If the correct level is detected at this board's output pin, a corresponding LED is turned on. If an incorrect level is detected, the LED is flashed. The interrupt ports are interruptedgehigh with accompanying pull down resistors. The N+2 is being powered by 8 volts coming from a power supply circuit which itself is powered with your basic 120VAC. 

 

The board I am testing requires 120VAC to be sent through 4 paths one at a time. This tests functionality of the components located on that particular path. So I have 4 line/neutral pairs sent to the board. But since the paths must be run one at a time, I have each line switched. This way, when I want to run the AC line tests, I flip line switch 1, press the test's push-button to trigger the interrupt which runs the test, and then check the test results via the LED. 

 

Now here is where my problem arises. My test seems to function correctly, but when I switch on the AC during any of the four AC line tests, either that test's LED flashes or another AC line test's LED flashes. So to be specific, let's say I flip the switch to send AC through Line Test 1. No lights should turn on or flash until I press the push-button to trigger the interrupt. However, any of the four Line Test LED's flash. It's as if the interrupts are being triggered without the push-button being pressed. 
 
I have included my entire program code below. I know this is long winded but I am just stumped as to a hardware cause and want to check all bases software wise before wracking my brain any further. Thanks so much for any and all help!

#64173 Interrupts

Nevyn,

 

Thanks for the idea. I want to try this, but my program doesn't recognize Timers. Apparently, my VS2010 does not have system.dll referenced and I can't find the file to add it. Is there a way to perform the timer task without using the Timers namespace?




#64169 Interrupts

Posted by WriterGuy on 21 September 2015 - 03:54 PM in Netduino Plus 2 (and Netduino Plus 1)

Thanks for all the feedback guys! I'm starting to get on the right track.

 

I still have a question about my while loop though. Basically, in my interrupt, if J1pin4 reads true, U1TLED is set to true and the LED will light. However, I am looking to continuously blink the LED if false is read at J1pin4. I figured a while loop would be best to use for this, but I'm not sure if the way I have it set up is just going to put me in a continuous loop. 

 else if (J1pin4.Read() == false)
            {
                while (J1pin4.Read() == false)
                {
                    U1TLED.Write(true);
                    Thread.Sleep(100);
                    U1TLED.Write(false);
                    Thread.Sleep(100);
 
                    if (U1TestSwitch.Interrupt == Port.InterruptMode.InterruptEdgeLow)
                    {
                        break;
                    }
 
                }

#64142 Interrupts

Posted by WriterGuy on 18 September 2015 - 11:32 AM in Netduino Plus 2 (and Netduino Plus 1)

Thanks for the reply Chris!

 

1. Indeed I am looking to check the interrupt state. I am wanting to have the interrupt end and return to main whenever the I turn the switch associated with that interrupt off. In my readings I haven't ever come across how to check the interrupt state.

 

2. The interrupts are designed to run the tests. They are simple "Are they working or are they not" type tests, so it should be as simple as flipping the switch, checking if the LED is lit or flashing, and then flipping the switch back off. 




#64133 Interrupts

Posted by WriterGuy on 16 September 2015 - 07:17 PM in Netduino Plus 2 (and Netduino Plus 1)

Hello all,

 

I'm working on a project using the Netduino Plus 2. I am trying to run a series of tests on the components of a circuit board, and am looking to control each test using interrupts triggered by switches. In all, I have 6 tests (and subsequently 6 switches with 6 interrupts). 

 

Here's where my current issue lies:

 

I am having the Netduino light LED's upon successful completion of each test. If the test is unsuccessful, I blink the LED. My program enters the interrupt when the switch is flipped and lights (or flashes) the LED, but when I flip the switch back off, the LED remains lit (or stays flashing). Essentially, the LED behavior continues even after I turn off the switch to the test. 

 

A) I am wondering if I am not exiting the interrupt properly.

B) I am also wondering if my set up involving the blinking LED is the correct route to take, or if I have just simply set myself up for an endless loop.

The following is a sample of one of my interrupts. Any help would be much appreciated!

static void U1TestSwitch_OnInterrupt(uint data1, uint data2, DateTime time)
        {
            J1pin3.Write(false);
            J1pin5.Write(false);
            J1pin7.Write(false);
            J1pin4.Read();

            if (J1pin4.Read() == true)
            {
                U1TLED.Write(true);
            }

            else if (J1pin4.Read() == false)
            {
                while (J1pin4.Read() == false)
                {
                    U1TLED.Write(true);
                    Thread.Sleep(100);
                    U1TLED.Write(false);
                    Thread.Sleep(100);

                    if (U1TestSwitch.Interrupt == Port.InterruptMode.InterruptEdgeLow)
                    {
                        break;
                    }

                }
            }

            if (U1TestSwitch.Interrupt == Port.InterruptMode.InterruptEdgeLow)
            {
                U1TLED.Write(false);
                U1TestSwitch.ClearInterrupt();
            }
