He351ve stand alone Arduino controller code for 2nd Gen Cummins

[Me78569]

There are linked to the article, I don't have them anymore.

[flopper85]

i was looking at one of the libraries and that looks like they have libraries in them i may not have.  i only seen the can bus library at the beginning 

 

edit: i looked over the libraries and dont see what im missing any suggestion to what i should be looking for?

your error is saying it can't find the timer functions.  

 

are you using an uno or mega for a controller?  

 

 

[flopper85]

i am using a

mega 2560 R3 by elegoo

sparks fun can sheild or one by elecFreak v1.2 i have both to work with

i had the mega plugged into my laptop and i had the mega selected but i didnt have a can shield on 

[Me78569]

does the timer tab of the program show up?  I believe it is the far right tab.  What version are you using of the code? 1.11 or prior?

[flopper85]

v1.12 i also tried some of the older ones

and the keep time tab is there

I've loaded the 1.12 and reinstalled the libraries in the article and it is compiling.  

 

Try installing your libraries from the article.

[flopper85]

i will do that as soon as i see them up i havent seen them yet

[Me78569]

It's in the software section.

i just found it and did the download it is working now im really happy that it was a wrong library that i installed i also didnt realize there was an article i though only form so yes im the dumb one on here Thank you!

[flopper85]

not sure why my lcd isn't working with this code or my mega and i was also wondering i see it alot but i see people put positive in there lcd address like you did but i haven't had that work maybe you can explain?

this has worked for my other boards but not with this set up.

got it i had to add to the code 

  lcd.init();
    lcd.backlight();

 for my lcd

ARGHH, So I sent out the actuator to AVI electronics in Illinois, who updates and rebuilds vgt and other stuff. I got it back today. Hooked everything up and it does the same as before.
I hook up the pos n gnd and the actuator spools up for a second.
I hook up the Can to the arduino (arduino +Canbus + lcd shield to calibrate)  and RX led illuminates. 
On the serial plotter it is sending the commands, but theirs no response. 
Everything is straight connected. Any thoughts? I'm going to go back an reread everything...

[Llamajwc]

Alright, new arduino mega, and Canbus shield. Tried different libraries. 
Still does the same thing. Spools up for a second then stops. Tt doesn't jog
RX is still solid lit. 
Is their somewhere in the coding that the Can has to be defined or something? 
I find it hard to believe that this actuator after being sent out, new board and updated software.

[Me78569]

Can you explain what " spools up for a second then stops" and "tt doesn't Jog rx is still solid lit" means?

[Llamajwc]

When I connect the power and ground to the actuator, whether its connected to the arduino or not, the motor starts spinning. accelerating, and then decelerates. 
It doesn't jog like its supposed to. Jog, like the motor twitches for a moment.
RX receive led on the Canbus shield is solid lit up. 

[Me78569]

but something happens when you apply 12v to the actuator?   take the arduino out of the equation.

[Llamajwc]

Anyway to send you a video?
I've taken the Arduino out of the equation. 
It still does the same thing. When power and GND are applied it spools up.

 

[Me78569]

Next look at your board setup.  Some canbus shields use pin 11 some us pin 10 or 9.  

mcp_can1 ();  is what defines that pin.  Verify using the documents on your can shield what pin it uses.  then ensure you are not getting other transmissions on that shield. 

 

IE make sure your LCD isn't using the same pin in the code as the canbus shield.    Or if your shield uses pin 9 then you will have to adjuste my code to use another pin of EBSwitch.

 

 

I am guessing you have a conflict similar to that.

Issue is the boost map for vein position at various psi's doesn't account for the 14 psi that we always have

 

Only the people near sea level elevation have the rounded figure of 14 psi.  Where you are in Colorado Springs, the atmospheric pressure is about 11.8 psi.

 

Just being technical.

technically correct, I dont remember the context.
