the web site says the new versions has not been download .. suggest you check. Look at output during boot it now shows version number if you hold PF1 or PF2 down

I think the problem is caused by the input characters on the IO (presumably from your BT module). I've made a fix so it doesn't turn interrupt on in charge mode. So try new version 264

cheers

In basic.hex I have somting like you, but with dcmp.hex, I have:

Code:: ^charge mode - testing 9120 mV charge mode - testing charge mode - testing charge mode - testing charge mode - testing charge mode - testing charge mode - testing charge mode - testing charge mode - testing charge mode - testing charge mode - testing 9918 mV charge mode - testing charge mode - testing charge mode - testing charge mode - testing charge mode - testing charge mode - testing charge mode - testing charge mode - testing charge mode - testing charge mode - testing charge mode - testing charge mode - testing charge mode - testing charge mode - testing charge mode - testing charge mode - testing 9918 mV etc...

I can stay on PF2, a long time, continue at infini and between voltage the number of "charge mode - testing" is different

It's like an interupt who "interrupt" the ProcButton routine

Have you tested on your Robobuilder or not yet ?

Don't know then - but can you try this:
1. turn rbc off
2. connect up putty to see output (preferably using rs232)
3. hold pf2 down
3. turn unit on

you should see the following output (or similar):

Code:: ^charge mode - testing 9120 mV 10089 mV 10089 mV 10146 mV 10146 mV 10146 mV 10146 mV 10146 mV 10089 mV 10146 mV Plugged in - charging ÿß00:05 short 40ms charge pulses 00:10 short 40ms charge pulses 00:15 short 40ms charge pulses

If not what do you get ?

thanks

I confirme, I done the test this morning again

Basic.hex = Charging
DCMP.hex = Not Charging

Have you tested on your RB ?

I think it works - try holding the PF2 button down longer - until green light starts slowly flashing.

If still no green light then its dropped into DCMP mode. This occurs if the robot is already fully charged or the power cable not connected so it can't charge.

Hello l3v3rz, it's me again

I think DCMP.HEX have one problem with battery charging

No green Led LED Blinking when I puch FP2 button at Power ON and visibly no charging.

I tested with BASIC.HEX and no problem

I compared BASIC and DCMP source code and I can't see one real difference, but I'm one newbies in C ATMEGA

Can you fix it for me please and for my culture, explain me where is the difference

I'm sorry to disturb you, but I like your firmware specialy DCMP
