No other side effects in the device?I haven’t found any problems at two stations with different instruments so far, I checked on c210, c245, c470, c105, dr560-a, 105 nano-tweezers, 120 series micro-tweezers
Tell me, which line sets the time interval for displaying the menu.line 138 - last argument of SpiChnOpen()
It is not a refresh rate, it's SPI clock.I think you were one hundred percent right for replacing with 2 the display stopped working at all, returning to 4 everything became as it was and replacing with 6 is dalapositive result. for half an hour of work, not per millimeter of shift, although before the firmware, the shift was almost immediately after switching on
It can be changed in PIC32MX534F064H.h, line 138 - last argument of SpiChnOpen()
higher the value, lower the clock. Formula is: BR = Fpb/(2*(fpbDiv/2-1)+1)), Fpb is derived from system clock by dividing by 2, system clock is 80Mhz, so Fpb = 40Mhz. fpbDiv should be an even number. fpbDiv = 4 gives 40Mhz/(2*(4/2-1)+1)) = 10Mhz.
If you change SPI clock frequency, DO NOT connect any tool, any weird behavior expected.
Pretty sure, Arduino people doesn't drive it at 10MHz. Don't know what time budget for display update, maybe, as a test, try to reduce SPI frequency and see if it helps.if someone else showed how to change the refresh rate, or even where it is located
Mate,in fact, all this has been working for almost a year now and each tool has its own supply voltage, but the problem with shifting the display image is very annoying and I still want to ask you to put the whole project again for the test
long long time ago in a galaxy far far away Sparkybg said it will be possible to play with profiles using his windows, app, which I never checked, was this implemented? or again another thing to add to todo list?
Regarding nano tools, IIRC they need 12V, profile should be similar to t210, ofcource you will need to limit power - how past that thing can heat, they barely have any thermal mass, so you might kill a a cartrage/tip or two before you get profile correct, t245 cartrages/tips can be heated to glowing red and they survive but I don't think this applies to n105 stuff
All my screens are 128x64, what screen you use?you can debug the whole project with your changes, I want to compile and add my own tools there, or rather the 105 series of soldering iron and tweezers, dr-560a and check at two stations with different supply voltage
1. It's almost impossible to reliably implement such a feature in the universal controller with dozen different tools supported. Sparky already pointed it out.Point 2 means when you inserted a cold soldering iron, the station will not turn on the tip until you press the button on the station itself, which will protect you from burns after connecting. point 1, I think nothing is impossible, because right now many more people are working on this project than just one of its inventors. point 3 I would argue with JBC how I worked with this machine and what you feel is soldering in a few moments the huge relatively sting copper bus in the welding machine or doing all kinds of operations with ease that cannot be done by very powerful soldering irons which you can solder pots you get the feeling that it has at least 200 watts, and I think the whole Vienna is that patented technology for maintaining temperature and by the way it resembles technology JBC
2. Sounds reasonable, but you certainly don't pull a hot cartridge with bare hands.
3. It's comparable to the T12. 80W vs 140W of T245. Anyway, the more supported tools the better.
To build this project properly you need the paid version of XC32 compiler (with optimization). Although, there a some alternatives to get this without paying Microchip that can be found by googling.I got the pro version for 60 days of the compiler but it still doesn’t work out, if someone can make a video how to do it correctly, then it will be very good
