I have a problem lighting an LED in a microcontroller stm32f373 discovery - c++

I have a problem lighting the LED in the microcontroller device discovery stm32f373
I used STM32 cube mx and the HAL library the program was executed, but the LED did not light up. Performed work according to STM instruction. Lesson 4. HAL library. STM32 CUBE MX. LEDs and button link russian
set pins for power, inputs and outputs
discovery
Turn on the rcc-> HSE bus
In Clock Configuration, enabled HSE. Configured by manipulated as follows
clock
Added an endless loop changing it.
while (1)
{
/* USER CODE END WHILE */
/* USER CODE BEGIN 3 */
HAL_Delay(5000); //1 minut
HAL_GPIO_TogglePin(GPIOD, GPIO_PIN_8);
HAL_Delay(5000);
HAL_GPIO_TogglePin(GPIOD, GPIO_PIN_8);
HAL_GPIO_TogglePin(GPIOD, GPIO_PIN_9);
HAL_Delay(5000);
HAL_GPIO_TogglePin(GPIOD, GPIO_PIN_9);
}
Did I do everything right?
Explain the reason why the LED may not light.
The pins of the microcontroller have their own identifier. Where can I find leg information? Will this fit Discovery Device Description ?
I used the English documentation offered by the author of the lesson, only the version for my controller. Description of STM32F3 HAL and low-layer drivers STM32F373xx
LED pin PC9, PC8

You need a second delay with HAL_Delay. Otherwise you toggle the LED, jump to the begin of the while and toggle the LED again. So it might be that the LED is switched on for only a few clock cycles depending on the initial state of the I/O.
while (1)
{
/* USER CODE END WHILE */
/* USER CODE BEGIN 3 */
HAL_Delay(500);
HAL_GPIO_TogglePin(GPIOD, GPIO_PIN_8);
HAL_Delay(500);
HAL_GPIO_TogglePin(GPIOD, GPIO_PIN_8);
}

You need to enable the clock for the GPIO peripheral which the LED is connected to, before you set up pins as outputs and try to toggle them.
In the RCC->AHBENR there are bits to turn individual GPIO ports clocks on and off, GPIOD is bit 20, so RCC->AHBENR |= (1 << 20); would do. There will be defines existing depending on which librarys you're using, so use those instead of the (1 << 20) magic number.
EDIT
After your edit, you've added at the bottom that the LEDs are pins PC8 & PC9, your code is toggling PD8 and PD9. Check which way it should be.

Have you configured the GPIO as outputs in STM32CubeMX?
Is interrupts enabled? If not, you will notice when debugging that HAL_Delay never returns. Try to place a couple of breakpoints and see if your while-loop actually executes.

How to connect 2 SPI devices to Arduino MkrZero

I am having a problem where I am unable to connect 2 SPI devices to my MkrZero. One device is a CAN shield and the other is an Ethernet Shield .
Both work fine on their own without the other connected but don't seem to work when both connected at the same time. This makes me think that my wiring and code is correct but something is still missing.
The CAN section initializes no matter what, execution seems to stop at the Ethernet code. But the Ethernet code works fine when the CAN wires are disconnected.
I have tried manually setting the CS pins, this doesn't do much. Even with both pins held high CAN starts up. This implies that the libraries take control of the pins.
I have read various tutorials on how to connect multiple devices with SPI but most times the devices are duplicates. My devices are different. I have connected the SPI pins exactly as I should with different CS pins for each device but the problem persists.
Here is my code
#include <CAN.h> //https://github.com/sandeepmistry/arduino-CAN
#include <MCP2515.h> //https://github.com/sandeepmistry/arduino-CAN Changes CS and Int pins from Uno to MkrZero configuration
#include <Ethernet.h>
#include <ArduinoJson.hpp>
#include <ArduinoJson.h>
#include <PubSubClient.h>
#include <Losant.h>
#include <SPI.h>
//Ethernet setup
#define MQTT_MAX_TRANSFER_SIZE 80 //this was done as a result of troubleshooting
byte mac[] = { 0x2C, 0xF7, 0xF1, 0x08, 0x19, 0x2C };
IPAddress ip (192, 168, 0, 1);
EthernetClient client;
// ** Configure the Losant credentials to enable comms over mqtt **
const char* LOSANT_DEVICE_ID = "";
const char* LOSANT_ACCESS_KEY = "";
const char* LOSANT_ACCESS_SECRET = "";
LosantDevice device(LOSANT_DEVICE_ID);
// The setup() function runs once each time the micro-controller starts
void setup()
{
Serial.begin(9600);
while(!Serial) { }
Serial.println("started UART");
//pinMode(BUTTON_PIN, INPUT);
// disable SD SPI
pinMode(4,OUTPUT);
digitalWrite(4,HIGH);
//starting ethernet
Ethernet.init(6); //changing Ethernet shield software select pin to 6 since default is an SPI transfer pin
Serial.println("ethernet about to start");
while(!Ethernet.begin(mac)) {}
Serial.println("ethernet started");
while (!CAN.begin(200E3)) {
Serial.println("Starting CAN failed! ");
delay(250);
}
Serial.println("CAN started");
delay(100);
Does anybody have any ideas on how to troubleshoot this or what the problem is?
There have been a few answers that involve not assuming the SPI bus has been kept the same from the last transaction. I need to reset SPI parameters each time I send a transaction. After going though the libraries I have seen that SPI.begintransaction() is called before every SPI communication, which according to my knowledge, resets the parameters. This implies that I don't need to manually change the SPI bus parameters before each transaction. Am I wrong in this regard?
SPI bus is really simple, and there should be no problem in connecting multiple slaves, as long as, at any time, only one of them has CS_ asserted (low). It can be expected that a library takes control of the CS_ pin, but it also should deassert it after the job is done. If not, then the library would be a very bad one.
You should check hardware and software.
Hardware: use a scope with memory, and look at what happens during initialization. May be that the CS_ pins need a pull-up resistor (the library, if it takes control of its CS_ pin, could choose to put it in high-impedance instead of driving it high). If you don't have a scope you can perhaps monitor the pins by software.
Software: may be the libraries use interrupts? In that case, the program can do things you are unaware of, for example a library can poll a device in background and mess with your code or one from another library. You have to dive deep in the libraries documentation and code. Again, a scope would help a lot.
You didn't specify much about your setup, and your tentative to "manually deselect the CS_ pins) is really worrying. You should check twice that point - if the CS_ pin is high, there is no reason the other SPI device does not work.
Problem was with the level shifter. I connected the OE enable pin to CAN CS, which puts the chip in high impedance when it isn't being used and enables it when I want to send data.
I used my scope to connect to the SPI pins and recorded what was happening. All was working well till I got to MISO. The level shifter was messing with it and pulling it to ground. Basically silencing output from one of the shields.
The learning here is when using level shifters with SPI devices connect the CS to OE.

Atmega2560 setup PWM and interrupt on positive edge

I am trying to do 2 operations on the same timer: PWM and interrupt on positive edge. I can make both work individually, but can not seem to make them work together. I am using at atmega2560 chip on the Arduino board and trying to do it on Timer1, and this is the code that does the PWM:
TCCR1A = 0;
TCCR1B = 0;
TCCR1A |= (1<<WGM11)|(1<<COM1A1)|(1<<COM1B1);
TCCR1B |= (1<<WGM12)|(1<<WGM13)|(1<<CS10);
ICR1 = 29999;
OCR1A = 0;
OCR1B = 0;
ICR1 sets the frequency to about 533Hz, and the OCR1A is the duty cycle; I vary that throughout the rest of my software, as it is meant to control a DC motor. What I want to do next is on every positive edge of the 533Hz, is to trigger and interrupt. I have tried to use TIMSK1 but could not seem to make it work. Would anyone know how to program this? Thanks
You should provide the individual code for the positive edge detection and pwm since you said you can make them both individually work. It would make it easier to see what you're doing and why they do not work together as opposed giving us nothing to work from. The implementation of PWM and interrupt is dependant on the environment and your ic, but the general algorithms are the same. Its most likely something minor you are overlooking in your code so I would include that to get more responses.

IRQ 8 isn't working... HW or SW?

First, I program for Vintage computer groups. What I write is specifically for MS-DOS and not windows, because that's what people are running. My current program is for later systems and not the 8086 line, so the plan was to use IRQ 8. This allows me to set the interrupt rate in binary values from 2 / second to 8192 / second (2, 4, 8, 16, etc...)
Only, for some reason, on the newer old systems (ok, that sounds weird,) it doesn't seem to be working. In emulation, and the 386 system I have access to, it works just fine, but on the P3 system I have (GA-6BXC MB w/P3 800 CPU,) it just doesn't work.
The code
setting up the interrupt
disable();
oldrtc = getvect(0x70); //Reads the vector for IRQ 8
settvect(0x70,countdown); //Sets the vector for
outportb(0x70,0x8a);
y = inportb(0x71) & 0xf0;
outportb(0x70,0x8a);
outportb(0x71,y | _MRATE_); //Adjustable value, set for 64 interrupts per second
outportb(0x70,0x8b);
y = inportb(0x71);
outportb(0x70,0x8b);
outportb(0x71,y | 0x40);
enable();
at the end of the interrupt
outportb(0x70,0x0c);
inportb(0x71); //Reading the C register resets the interrupt
outportb(0xa0,0x20); //Resets the PIC (turns interrupts back on)
outportb(0x20,0x20); //There are 2 PICs on AT machines and later
When closing program down
disable();
outportb(0x70,0x8b);
y = inportb(0x71);
outportb(0x70,0x8b);
outportb(0x71,y & 0xbf);
setvect(0x70,oldrtc);
enable();
I don't see anything in the code that can be causing the problem. But it just doesn't seem to make sense. While I don't completely trust the information, MSD "does" report IRQ 8 as the RTC Counter and says it is present and working just fine. Is it possible that later systems have moved the vector? Everything I find says that IRQ 8 is vector 0x70, but the interrupt never triggers on my Pentium III system. Is there some way to find if the Vectors have been changed?
It's been a LONG time since I've done any MS-DOS code and I don't think I ever worked with this particular interrupt (I'm pretty sure you can just read the memory location to fetch the time too, and IRQ0 can be used to trigger you at an interval too, so maybe that's better. Anyway, given my rustiness, forgive me for kinda link dumping.
http://wiki.osdev.org/Real_Time_Clock the bottom of that page has someone saying they've had problem on some machines too. RBIL suggests it might be a BIOS thing: http://www.ctyme.com/intr/rb-7797.htm
Without DOS, I'd just capture IRQ0 itself and remap all of them to my own interrupt numbers and change the timing as needed. I've done that somewhat recently! I think that's a bad idea on DOS though, this looks more recommended for that: http://www.ctyme.com/intr/rb-2443.htm
Anyway though, I betcha it has to do with the BIOS thing:
"Notes: Many BIOSes turn off the periodic interrupt in the INT 70h handler unless in an event wait (see INT 15/AH=83h,INT 15/AH=86h).. May be masked by setting bit 0 on I/O port A1h "

Is there a clean way of disabiling RX control from USBCore in leonardo?

At the moment I'm trying to use the sparkfun promicro to control the RX pin at will using this sketch https://www.sparkfun.com/tutorials/338 .
However I have run into a problem where despite having control over the RX and TX led, it is being interfered by the USBCore.cpp in arduino. I am wondering if there is a clean way to disable control by USBCore over RX and TX pins, while still leaving the USB serial alone, so that I can control these pins directly, even while receiving and sending serial data.

}
void loop()

Serial.println("Hello world"); // Print "Hello World" to the Serial Monitor
Serial1.println("Hello!"); // Print "Hello!" over hardware UART
digitalWrite(RXLED, HIGH); // set the LED on
TXLED1; //TX LED is not tied to a normally controlled pin
delay(1000); // wait for a second
digitalWrite(RXLED, LOW); // set the LED off
TXLED0;
delay(1000); // wait for a second
}
If there is no way to tackle this cleanly without modifying the arduino enviroment, then I'll shall modify USBCore.cpp . However its probbly bad practice to do so.
If its possible in your scenario, you could use pin 17 as an INPUT, hopefully freeing up another pin which you can then use as an OUTPUT.
To do this, just use pinMode() to set pin 17 to an INPUT.
That effectively disables the RXLED functionality. When USBCore write a high to that pin, it merely turns on the pullup resistor. As long as the device driving the input can sink enough current even when the pullup is on, this will have no effect. And so there is no need to modify USBCore.
Edit: The LED lights up when pin 17 is low, which means the source of the signal needs to sink current. That can be avoided if its an issue by severing the PCB track next to the LED, or by desoldering the LED or resistor.

Cannot connect Wifly to Arduino

I am just an Arduino beginner. I bought an Arduino Uno and a Wifly shield yesterday and I am not able to run the Wifly_Test example program come with WiFlySerial library.
When I look at Serial Monitor, I only saw 2 lines are printed out
1.Starting WiFly Tester.
2.Free memory:XXXX
How can I know that the Wifly Sheild that I bought is not faulty?
I soldered the heard ping to Wifly Shield and stacked it to Aurduino Uno and I can see the LEDs blinking on the Wifly Shield.
Do I need to reset the Wifly Sheild? How do I reset it?
Please point me to the most simple example on how to connect to the router.
I have also bought the shield and had trouble to start with.
If you have soldered the pins to the shield that should be fine but make sure you check they all have a connection and that they don't have solder running down the legs of the pins as this causes the shield to be temperamental.
Run the code below which is from the WiFly library (alpha 2 version) that can be found here:
http://forum.sparkfun.com/viewtopic.php?f=32&t=25216&start=30
Once you see that the shield has connected it will ask for an input, type $$$ and press enter... you have now entered the command line and CMD will be displayed.
If you do not know your network settings type scan and this will display them.
Then set your authentication by typing set wlan auth 3 (Mixed WPA1 & WPA2-PSK) or set wlan auth 4 (WPA2-PSK) this depends on the type of authentication you ise so pick the write one for your network.
Then type set wlan phrase YourPharsePhrase (Change YourPharsePhrase to whatever your WPA key is)
Then type join YourSSIDName (Change YourSSIDName to whatever your network name is)
You see something like this:
join YourSSIDName
Auto-Assoc YourSSIDName chan=1 mode=MIXED SCAN OK
Joining YourSSIDName now..
<2.15> Associated!
DHCP: Start
DHCP in 1234ms, lease=86400s
IF=UP
DHCP=ON
IP=10.0.0.116:2000
NM=255.255.255.0
GW=10.0.0.1
Listen on 2000
you are now connected to your network.
Hopefully this will get you up and running.
N.B. REMEMBER TO CAREFULLY CHECK YOUR PINS! I had great trouble with mine because only a small amount of solder is needed but enough to get a good connection, the balance of this was minute but enough that it wouldn't work. I used a magnifying to check mine in the end.
#include "WiFly.h" // We use this for the preinstantiated SpiSerial object.
void setup() {
Serial.begin(9600);
Serial.println("SPI UART on WiFly Shield terminal tool");
Serial.println("--------------------------------------");
Serial.println();
Serial.println("This is a tool to help you troubleshoot problems with the WiFly shield.");
Serial.println("For consistent results unplug & replug power to your Arduino and WiFly shield.");
Serial.println("(Ensure the serial monitor is not open when you remove power.)");
Serial.println();
Serial.println("Attempting to connect to SPI UART...");
SpiSerial.begin();
Serial.println("Connected to SPI UART.");
Serial.println();
Serial.println(" * Use $$$ (with no line ending) to enter WiFly command mode. (\"CMD\")");
Serial.println(" * Then send each command followed by a carriage return.");
Serial.println();
Serial.println("Waiting for input.");
Serial.println();
}
void loop() {
// Terminal routine
// Always display a response uninterrupted by typing
// but note that this makes the terminal unresponsive
// while a response is being received.
while(SpiSerial.available() > 0) {
Serial.write(SpiSerial.read());
}
if(Serial.available()) { // Outgoing data
//SpiSerial.print(Serial.read(), BYTE);
SpiSerial.write(Serial.read());
}
}
Sorry I forgot to mention , you reset the shield by going to the WiFly library and going to: WiFly/tools/HardwareFactoryReset
Then open the serial monitor and type in any character and this will start the reset.
Thanks everyone who tried to answer me. I finally solved my problem by using Arduino 0023 instead of 1.0.
