Arduino and Proview

Arduino and Proview
Posted by marc - 2010/12/02 13:07 _____________________________________
MotionControl USB I/O is for me the "only" device which is standard in Proview. I am working in a technical school and my budget is low. At the moment I am in the learning curve of Proview and I wonder if there is somebody with succesfull small "low-budget device-projects" who wants to share their knowledge, for example with a Arduino. All suggestions are welcome... Regards, Marc

Hello Marc, I'm not familiar with Arduino, but at a quick glance it looks as it would be quite easy to connect it to Proview. I will order a board and check it out. Proview V4.8 has support for Velleman K8055 which is a low cost USB board suitable for educational applications. /Claes

Hi Claes, Holy Moly..., I just looked at thr release notes of 4.8.0. The Arduino has tons of projects and a huge comminity. In combination with the K8055 is it a great start to kick in the door from the educational system. And that's the place to be..... /Marc

Hi Claes, I have found why/when the Arduino is slow. It's because of the Arduinos digitalWrite() command. The same problems with a analogWrite() which takes longer than the digitalWrite(). Because of simplicity the pins are labeled, by the makers of the Arduino, as digital 0-13 and analog 0-5. The ATMega chips pins are labeled differently. The trick seems to be to use true c style commands, what the AVR compiler uses.
void setup() { Serial.begin(9600); } void loop() { int initial = 0;

int final = 0; initial = micros(); for(int i = 0; i < 500; i++) { digitalWrite(13,HIGH); digitalWrite(13,LOW); } final = micros(); Serial.print("Time for digitalWrite(): "); Serial.print(final-initial); Serial.println(""); initial = micros(); for(int i = 0; i < 500; i++) { PORTB = 0b00100000; PORTB = 0b00000000; } final = micros(); Serial.print("Time for true c command: "); Serial.print(final-initial); while(1); }
Off topic: The cheap balance system with a metal ball is still playing my mind...... If on the axis is a stepper and a potentiometer I can only see an undefined area (when the coils of the stepper are not activated) where the ball it can't win from the "friction"....

Hi Marc, I also already red this here: http://billgrundmann.wordpress.com/2009/03/03/to-use-or-not-use-writedigital/ but the pin address is then hard coded during compiling, isn't it ? do you think this can be used together with Proview as you need to re assign the pin number depending on your Channel Number in your project ?

Even if a digitalWrite takes over 3 us, 20 digital outputs are not more than 60 us, and it's not much compared to the 4-5 ms which seems to be the shortest cylce time for the Proview communication sketch. Sending a few bytes with 115 000 baud shouldn't take more than 1 ms, so there is still 3 ms missing... /Claes Post edited by: claes, at: 2011/05/03 09:56

Hi Claes, Lots of people are complaining about the slowness of the Arduino. Do you think it can be because inefficiency of the core libraries? /Marc

Hi Marc, The Proview skech uses the IO functions and the USB communication functions, and if you look at this thread the communication shouldn't be a problem. Maybe it has to with the way I have implemented the communication... http://www.arduino.cc/cgi-bin/yabb2/YaBB.pl?num=1293624867 /Claes

Hi Ivo, I haven't time this weekend but after a quick glance many questions are popping up. One of them is basically, am I skilled enough to follow you.....? Did you implement port manipulation for the Uno/mega328p, incl high serial communication? Greetings, /Marc
============================================================================

Posted by ivo1204 - 2011/05/07 15:18 _____________________________________
Hi Marc, Everything is very simply because it is detailed described in the datasheet of atmega 328p actually serious chip. Your problem lies in the arduino software - a wonderful software which, however, has other goals. For example, when reading analog inputs Arduino start conversion and wait to read - and that is about 1600 CPU clocks. wiring_analog.c line 71 // start the conversion sbi(ADCSRA, ADSC);
// ADSC is cleared when the conversion finishes while (bit_is_set(ADCSRA, ADSC)); <= HERE !!! wait 1600 cloks... So you just have to try and avoid these things - nothing more. Baud rate is defined in config.h -> define BAUD 57600 ,/can be other/ only output analog signals are limited to 4, everything else should work. Arduino UNO and others with ATmega 238p should also work. Post edited by: ivo1204, at: 2011/05/07 15:21

Hi Ivo, I have flashed a Duemilanove. I had some problems with avrdude. Can only flash with 19200 baud otherwise I get a sync error. I needed the force flag as well (running avrdude version 5.10). Proview (4.8.1-1) doesn't recognize the device (a project with 57600 baud and device /dev/ttyUSB0). Tomorrow I will give codeblocks/eclipse a try. Thanks again for your input. /Marc

Hi Ivo, Take your time. It's very interested the way you want to speed up the Arduino in combination with Proview. I am for sure a couple of us will scratch their heads a couple of time after your posts. I hope you stay a while and don't disappear too quickly. My opinion is that the way Proview is build is a master piece and has incredible high potential. The community is relatively small and I really hope it can grow slowly and get the place in the world it deserves...... First I will try to read the ins and outs from the atmel data sheet. Because the steps you make are pretty big for me.

Hi Ivo, Holy Shot. This is driving me completely nuts. I flashed your latest pwr.hex to an UNO. I left the -b flag away otherwise it doesn't want to sync. I created a small project with only an Av and an Ao with a LED on a breadboard. Ao0 is pin 6 on the Arduino and it doesn't matter what kind of ChanAo number I configure in Proview. Only RX is active and it seems to be TX is on a holiday. My ActualValueRange 0-255 and when I give an actualvalue from 1000 in the running PLC the LED is just waking up. The datasheet and your code gives me the feeling why the hack I didnt choose to become a plumber and I can only see a smile on the face of my girlfriend when I look at her up-side-down. My dog is sitting, the last 2 hours, looking sad and shaking his head near the front door and my bloody school made the decision to roll windows 7 out and put more restrictions on the network. The brains cells I didn't kill in my life are running 9600 baud and I want to feel my pillow. And dream, just dream....... But I love it...... /M

Hi Marc, I am a little busy these days, now I changed the code slightly, so I guess that would not have a problem with reading it. All signals are recorded and read from the arrays, so you have freedom to do anything with the data. Ao in the previous code I measured the multemetar and was a 0 to 5V. But anything is possible, the problem is right in some hardware incompatibility with timer 0 So now work - I test only Ai and Di 115200 / 57600 http://www.proview.se/components/com_joomlaboard/uploaded/files/pwrb3c1f241f059292fbe70b7f5c1fd559d.gz Post edited by: ivo1204, at: 2011/05/12 18:17

Posted by ivo1204 - 2011/05/14 13:41 _____________________________________
Hi Marc, For the protocol of Proview I can only guess, based on source of pwr_arduino_uno.pde https://github.com/siamect/proview/blob/master/otherio/exp/rt/src/pwr_arduino_uno.pde and rt_io_m_arduino_uno.c https://github.com/siamect/proview/blob/master/otherio/lib/rt/src/rt_io_m_arduino_uno.c It has 'MSG_TYPE_WRITEALL' and 'MSG_TYPE_READALL'. It seems that we have to read both Ai + Di, or write Ao + Do, is used. Problem is that when Proview open connection, issued Reset signal to Arduino.Then control is taken by the bootloader, which reads the first byte. So we will always receive the first message wrong. Bootloader is an independent application and initialize the connection speed that is set. It is important for AVRDude and other programming programs, but nothing to do with Proview. That, your Arduino is programmed at 19,600 means that maybe you have an older version of bootloader. The first byte is very important for bootloader, depending on its content , it decided what to do. However, for Proview, it is only the length of the message, and it is variable. This is the first problem, and more - because the wrong speed USART registers are full of errors. So we need to reset connection and start a new one with new USART speed. USART speed has close connection AJA CPU clock.My Arduino is 16 Mhz and that speed is essential for calculating the value of registers UBRR0H and UBRR0L. If you think, it may be different in the atmega 328p datasheet is a table Table 19-5 ,6,7 (UBRR0H =0 ) .You can choose an appropriate speed with the smallest error. For example, at 250k 16Mhz, clock Error = 0.0%, but we have no such option. So I do not know what message must issue Arduino to make Proview to resend configuration. Another opportunity which I intend to try, to block a Reset signal. The best way is putting resistance between Reset and +5 V, but the value is very important, and must be as much as can in high. Is it somewhere in the Inernet is described. Maybe 1K you need check.No soldering, then put it into a socket Jxxx, this would solve many problems. Another resistor (Its value may be high - 10k and more) to pin 0 and +5 V would decide another bad problem. RX USART line must be 1 whenever there is no connection, level 0 means to start USART connection and synchronization. To use the internal resistor 328 is stupid, and all the time to establish port D bit 0 to 1 ...

Hi Ivo,
Oeps...., I am sorry, the arduino sketch standard in Proview 4.8.1-2 is not the same as in the git. It seems to be Claes implemented 'MSG_TYPE_WRITEALL' and 'MSG_TYPE_READALL' in a later *.pde version. /Marc

Hi Marc, New brain food for tonight! I have fresh food now.... This version has two brand new features, it is one of the main causes for this code. The first is that data not be sent to PROVIEW directly, but they are saved in transmitting ring buffer. In this way allows us to continue the cycle without waiting. The second is, plc thread. It is implemented in the main cycle, but each performance evokes only one function. For
example, ADC, and other I / O are in plc_adc(). Data transmission to PROVIEW be managed by plc_tx (). Slow tasks and processes are in plc_slow () array. The basic idea is Arduino and Proview to exchange data with other meanings, not only the direct output and inputs.Such as position, velocity and acceleration of the process where direct exchange would otherwise be difficult - for example, step motors. http://www.proview.se/components/com_joomlaboard/uploaded/files/pwr-0caeca85bd3c808aab2f4ff8f4e56e09.gz

Hi Marc, Have a nice vacation! The last thing I put in the code is very lightweight SPI interface with other boards - AVR or Arduino. Of course, it will be necessary modifications and debugging, but now I end. I plan to make cheaper arduino shield, perhaps with ATMega 644p universal motherboard, but so far I have not bought the parts. I think around 10 euros. Good luck, Ivo http://www.proview.se/components/com_joomlaboard/uploaded/files/sketch_may21a.gz

Hi Ivo, Thanks, I had some nice days. This morning I did some tests: In all the tests are: baud rate: 115200 scantime: 5 ms priority: 22
Test 1: arduino.pde from git (feb 2011) 1 analog in (Ai0)

Result: ScanTimeMean: 9 ms Test 2: arduino.pde from git (feb 2011) 1 analog in (Ai0) 1 digital input (Di2) 1 analog out (Ao3) 1 digital input (Di4) Result: ScanTimeMean: 15 ms
Test 3: sketch_may21a.pde 1 analog in (Ai0 pin 0) Result: ScanTimeMean: 9 ms
Test 4: sketch_may21a.pde 1 analog in (Ai0) 1 digital input (Di2) 1 analog out (Ao3) 1 digital input (Di4) Result: ScanTimeMean: 15 ms
Test 5: pde.hex (19-may-2011) 1 analog in (Ai0 pin 0) Result: ScanTimeMean: 9 ms --------------------------------------------------Of course it can be I am completely wrong but I can't see a difference between the standard sketch and the "avr versions". Are you sure, for example the analog read speeds, limits are not limited of the 328p? For example the convertion wait from 1600 clocks sounds a lot but we are running 16Mhz/prescale. If the limitation is in the 328p itself isn't the only way to speed up by choose a lower prescaling factor? But then we can't keep 10 bit resolution..... Sounds very interesting your low budget shield. Thanks for all your input and I wish you good luck whatever you do.... One thing is for sure. You have brains. Take care of them!

Hi Marc, So nice that you found time for these tests because I really had no idea how to assess the real situation. There are significant changes in the latest version,"sketch_may21a" and they are not to increase the speed, but to make software extensible. So, I tried this version 'sketch_may21b', and gives a very good time.(see picture) With 1 Ao I think you can try to control the stepper motors directly from PROVIEW.

Hi Marc, I think that is not connected to my Arduino or other code that is in the work of PROVIEW - when writes only Ao, then the chance is very high speed. And that's fine, because in each Arduino. pde you can write DDRB = value of Ao and it will come out of Port B.. Post edited by: ivo1204, at: 2011/05/25 01:00

Hi Marc, I tried to take the maximum speed for two Arduino stepper motor. This version is very simple, but you have to have exactly two Ao. they are now and Ao0 Ao1 as voltage pin 6 and 5.

Hi Ivo,
I just looked in aglance at your test app. I have only an old Duemilanove (ATmega168) and a UNO so I changed in Qcreator and rebuilded to /dev/ttyACM0 for the UNO. If I sent 05 02 01 00 20 (Do write 1) which Do-pin should become "HIGH"? Looks very handy your app. Thanks. It's weekend and some time for Proview. After one hour I am sure again, what a beautiful system..... Post edited by: marc, at: 2011/06/04 13:53

Hi Marc, First send 'CONFIGURE' message. 10 12 05 90 00 02 00 ff 00 00 10 - message length 12 - ID message 05 - Type CONFIGURE 90 WatchdogTime 00 Di number of bytes 02 D out number of bytes - follow two bytes for the mask Do 00 pins 0 -7 ff -> pins 8-15 are outputs 00 Ai number of bytes - no ...... If you send 05 02 01 00 20, this is the message. 05 message length 12 does not matter 01 Do WRITE message 00 for pins 0-7 20 => 0010 0000 13 pin, Arduno LED ON click on '2 '0 edit to 0, send, LED OFF ==== Give me some time to think of a DC motor, but for now I think that you needed encoder, optical encoder or hall effect, Arduino has a hardware support for them, But the problem is where to find cheap old broken mouse, old printer - optical, a magnetic tape and the hall sensors are even more simple solution Post edited by: ivo1204, at: 2011/06/04 18:15

Hi Ivo, Which *.pde or *.hex -version are you using?

Hi Marc, I'm sorry , I do not paid attention to pwr_arduino_uno.pde if ( watchdogTime != 0) { // Increment watchdog counter noMessageCnt++; if ( noMessageCnt * delayTime > watchdogTime) resetOutput(); } So, put 0 to watchdogTime parameter 10 12 05 90 00 02 00 ff 00 00 =>10 12 05 '00' ....

Hi Marc, I am working on a very inexpensive solution, everything works, but implementation in PROVIEW I have not yet begun, but at this stage I can not imagine how to tie them.. So check attachment. http://www.proview.se/components/com_joomlaboard/uploaded/files/data.gz

Hi Ivo, Great to hear from you. At the moment I am on a "running-between-the-rain-drops-holiday" in Amsterdam. Pretty curious what's in your mind again..... Greetings, Marc

Hi Marc,
This is a linux driver for the board, which I wrote before. Further, it might tie with Proview http://www.proview.se/components/com_joomlaboard/uploaded/files/T26.gz Post edited by: ivo1204, at: 2011/07/30 17:02

i Ivo, I can see you have been busy again ;-) As far as I understand Proview are there 3 basic possibilities to implement a new I/O. I will try to have a look at your work tomorrow because I appreciate your work and ideas a lot. Next week I have no time at all. My girlfriend has an art expostion next week and I need to help her a lot. Great to hang up a projector, foto collages etc. while drilling is not allowed. If you like art: Her homepage (http://visualartist.dk) is running on a small embedded arm system with the web root on an usb-stick. Pretty slow, please don't remind her, or I must build something new again.... "Talk" to you soon.

Hi Ivo,
The 3 basic ways to implement I/O: 1) An application: Create with a main, compile and link to the executable. 2) reading syncronous with a plc thread we have to create IO rack, card classes for the hardware and write IO methods for them. 3) Build in the Proview source
We must start somewhere, lets start with the "easiest" way, an application...... 1) -gdh_Init is for attaching the database -gdh_GetObjectInfo is for getting values -gdh_SetObjectInfo is for setting values but gdh_RefObjectInfo seems to be (Claes) a more efficient way. -Av/Dv object to store the value in database Hopefully Claes is not banging his head on the table but I think the basic structure should be somethin like this:
#include <stdio.h>
//basic types Proview #include "pwr.h" //API to database #include "rt_gdh.h" int main() { // Init device .. // Attach the realtime database sts = gdh_Init( "Ivo"); if ( EVEN(sts)) { cout << "gdh_Init failure " << sts << endl; exit(0); }
while (1) { //Write sts = gdh_SetObjectInfo( "project-atiny.ActualValue", &value, sizeof(value)); .. sleep( 1); } }
