Re: 9bit UART - Arduino Mega 2560

It does work - so I guess the 'hint' hasn't been updated. (As mentioned the component used to work with bytes) Note - Use the Rx interrupt - data has been received (so it should never timeout?) I don't know what timeout would return in this case (but if you only receive single character in the inter...

Re: Do I need this pin? ST7789 DC pin?

The display does use a D/C pin (to select data or command)
They have maybe missed it from the diagram?

Re: 9bit UART - Arduino Mega 2560

Sorry - missed a '.' - I meant 0..511 (or 0 to 511) Which version of Flowcode are you using - the components used to only return a byte (8bit) - in version 10 (free !) - the Send/Receive Char take an int (16bit) of which they send/receive the appropriate number of bits... Did you manage to get my de...

Re: 9bit UART - Arduino Mega 2560

Note - could possibly have done the send and receive on the same Mega. I didn't think of it beforehand... I powered the second board from the first as I couldn't lay my hand on 2 of the Type A USB cables (though they are surely hiding somewhere) Windows terminal programs don't support 9 bit data (th...

Re: 9bit UART - Arduino Mega 2560

A quick demo of 9 bit comms using 2 Arduino Megas. One is the 'sender' (S) and one a 'receiver' (R) (I called it UART) (that echoes the received data to a PC via the USB comms UART) I connected RX1 to TX1 and TX1 to RX1 on boards 'S' and 'R' - also GND (essential) and 5v as I have the sender powered...

Re: 9bit UART - Arduino Mega 2560

... There is an issue - send and receive take a byte which is 8 bits, so some extra work needed..

- I might be wrong on this - looks like the functions now return an int.

ESP32 Compilation Warnings

A little tip to make life easier. The output from the esp32 compiler is a 'little' verbose. It is possible to turn off some of the warnings. In your project directory/main Edit CMakeLists.txt At the end of the file add: target_compile_options(${COMPONENT_LIB} PRIVATE -Wno-unused-variable) target_com...

ESP32 WS2812 LEDs (An alternative approach)

This is some alternative code for WS2812 LEDs running on the esp32. Rather than the RMT based component (I get issues with this being deprecated...) I tried two alternatives - using the i2s hardware where I got 'reasonable' results. LEDs would set but occasional glitches ( I think the T1L time I got...

Re: SPI_ Master SendByteArray only sending once in loop

Please post your code - or a snippet showing the problem. SPI sends overwrite the sent data with values received by the sender (or 0 if there is no reply) - so you might need to just update the array values each time.. loop (forever) loop (i = 0.. 7) array[i] = val[i] send (array) delay(1s)

is the display component connected correctly?
I'm going to say 'maybe' - or I think/hope so...
