LTargPos and LCurPos are the variables I need to see. Joe Thank you for the ideas! I'll have to take a look when I get home and see if I can get something cobbled together. Again the issue is that the DMX board takes over serial operation so trying to use Serial monitor is a non-starter which is why I thought if I could throw a simple hex display up I could see what values were being returned and then figure out the code issue.ĪGAIN MANY THANKS to all you responding folks! ![]() The values I'm having trouble with are values returned by the DMX board. That is why I want as simple as possible. Wiring is not an issue for me, it s the troubleshooting without proper equipment, i.e. Never thought to look at other pins on the board. If throwing a manual reset switch makes the system run then that's what I'll do.īut I do thank you for the suggestion and for the probable request to do a schematic of my system which I also don't have time for.Ĭamsysca, thanks for the reset info. Since I have 4,040 single frames of Legos moving miniscule amounts and I have ANOTHER deadline, this time for a fairly large film festival I don't have the time to beat my brains out again trying to figure it out. ![]() What DOES work is if the code doesn't go into initialization correctly, by hitting the reset on the Arduino everything is happy. So here I am back figuring out how to get this system to run the Arduino code when I start the stage movement hardware and I run into the SAME PROBLEM I HAD MONTHS AGO! For some reason which I couldn't figure out months ago. Pull my old camera dolly system out, cut down the code, rebuild a moving stage which works under, you guessed it DMX control. So I have to move the "stage" in concert with the focusing of the lens to simulate zooming. BUT the only lens I can afford is a 100MM lens which only focuses at certain distances and does NOT have zoom capabilities. Because the auto focus and auto shutter on my camera is causing the banding. Much reading and conversations on various Stop Motion sites and I find I need a different lens, a manual lens. So now I'm learning about shooting Stop Motion and I have it together EXCEPT I see light and dark bands moving across my composition. They graciously agreed to gift me a quite expensive MOCO system to replace my antiquated Rube Goldberg machine. So I spoke to a company that supplied MOCO (Motion Control) systems for cameras to see if I could work out a payment plan. Enter HEAT, actually overheating of the stepper motors. ![]() It had a DMX component which I used to drive my camera. The software I use to shot Stop Frame Animation is Dragonframe which is an industry standard. To compete I needed a SERIOUS camera dolly which I built from an old CNC machine (I mentored a local high school group in engineering and robotics), a couple of Arduinos from my stint as a DJ/VJ years ago and a DMX board. So I started building stages in the hopes of getting a contract with Lego. I wrote a musical, couldn't afford actors, vocalists, a venue or the staging to do the musical. It got to the point where I got sponsored with "real" equipment but now I find myself needing to resurrect part of the system. I have had this issue with this hardware for a couple of months. Is there circuitry to do this? I have my circuitry inside a project box and there is no easy way to get at the switch.Īctually no. My second issue is that I need to be able to press the reset button on the Arduino. I have 2 values which are between 0 and 255. I've looked around and all I can find is complicated code and circuitry. private/var/folders/95/3v77r_wn0bj93bx8dzfvjxs40000gp/T/arduino/sketches/4F0EEA3973E7A184D13B7B9DC1580383/libraries/Conceptinetics/ (symbol from plugin):(.text+0x0): first defined hereĬollect2: error: ld returned 1 exit status (.text+0x0): multiple definition of `_vector_18' If I put a Serial.begin(57600) This is what I get: (symbol from plugin): In function `Serial': They conflict with the mounted shield circuitry. Serial monitor is NOT an option, nor any Serial functions. I want to add a simple display to my program to that will display the values of 2 variables constantly.
