Arduino help needed

[Tim]

I’m new to this plugin, so just making suggestions. I have not used the PWM outputs with the plugin. But my question would be, if you set up a digital output instead of PWM, do you get the same voltage when the output is set to ‘0’ or low? I’m wondering if this is an Arduino board issue or plugin issue.

Mike

Will set same pins as digital outputs as you suggested and let you know.
Any suggestions about connecting arduino to the RGB amplifier / repeater. It uses 4 wires. Positive common and RGB grounds.

What exactly is ‘flickering’? The nature of PWM is not steady state, so it depends on what you are trying to do. What are you driving with your output?

Mike

Hi Mike,

All 3 outputs are off and low, however, on PWM output pins I have voltage changes up to 1V

That error suggests that the constant is already defined somewhere else in the sketch. Obviously, that shouldn't happen. Did you modify the sketch, or is it just as downloaded?

After you unchecked the V2 setting, did you download the sketch again? I'm not sure if that's your issue, but the sketch is likely different for the two different versions of the board.

Hi,

I did not modify sketch in any way. I tried many times and somehow I made it work. Still don't know how. I have 3 PWM outputs programed and every one of them is off, why are the output pins flickering

Hi Mike,

Well, I'm not sure about version neither they call it "shield"
Will try without it. Didn't think about it.

Thank you

Any known reason for this?

You have "Ethernet Shield V2" checked in the setup. Is that really a V2 shield?

Did you set up all the network settings then upload the sketch to the board again as this is required to go from USB to Ethernet?

Hi Greig,

Yes I did.
I have arduino board connected with USB as power source and network cable for communication. Rx light flashes, TX doesn't.
I tried to ping it but no luck.

Hi to all,

I would appreciate if someone can help me with arduino setup. I'm trying to read analog and digital inputs from arduino through the network. Arduino work on its own through USB, but not after I plug shield board.

Any help would be great.
