Re: Z-UNO blocked after several hours of operation

Fair enough! So when you connect pin 17 to ground, the green led stops blinking if you leave it powered for about one day?

If you exclude the Z-Uno, and ground that pin, does it still crash within a day?

What happens if you remove the oled code?

Re: Z-UNO blocked after several hours of operation

I've loaded your scene. No sensor or OLED attached. So it reports -327.67 °C as I expected, but that is not the issue here... The main thing is that the green LED keeps blinking, it does not crash... Another thing is that your interrupt routine violates a requirement mentioned on the reference pages...

Re: Z-UNO blocked after several hours of operation

Thank you for sharing your code. I am convinced that sharing code is always interesting, for educational purposes! I'll run your code on my Z-Uno and see if I can find something. At the moment, after a quick look, I'd say the green LED stops blinking if your code hangs in loop() or getter(). The onl...

Re: Z-UNO blocked after several hours of operation

I run a BH1750 sketch (an improved version of the version published on the forum) and it does not crash. It runs until I reboot the Z-Uno or change the sketch. The longest time between 2 reboots was about 24 hours.

If you could share your code, I'll see if I can find anything suspicious...

Re: Sleeping Z-Uno - Power consumption

The ZM5101 module on the Z-Uno requires a power supply 2.3-3.6V (reported on te spec sheet of this module). Usually a 3.3 V CMOS chip can survive a higher voltage for a short time, but it is not supposed to operate at higher voltages. Conclusion: this module can operate from any primary lithium cell...

No Arduino menu on OSX High Sierra: set language to English-US

Java based programs sometimes do not display a menu when running OSX High Sierra and your language is not English. Arduino is based on Java. The fastest workaround is to set your Mac to use English - US. After a reboot you can run Arduino 1.6.5 to program your Z-Uno. https://github.com/arduino/Ardui...

Thanks! That is good news. If you have a pre-release, I'll be happy to test it (BH1750 enhanced sketch, Neopixel 21-25 LED issue, FLIRS test, ...).

Re: Safe functions in interrupt handler

I think Z-Uno does not have a micros() function. I might be wrong about that, but I cannot find it in the Z-Uno libraries and it is not listed on the reference page. Did you mean to write "millis()"? Out of curiosity, what resolution do you need? Would counting in the 1ms timer interrupt w...

Re: Z-Uno software 2.1.0 released

You say "Up till the Version of Arduino IDE is supported the z-uno is useless to me." Why? I run both versions of the Arduino IDE. on my PC. Is something holding you back to do the same thing? I am fairly new to Arduino development, so I might be missing your point. In that case, I apolgiz...
