Cool, thanks

Hi!

I'm quite stuck, I had a working setup with board and libraries installed a few months back.
I've updated both to latest version, and installed arduino 1.6.12

See attached screen for board/port setup

Now, I can't upload any sketch to my TinyScreen+, even the most basic one, with no code at all. Here's the error I'm running into.

How can I fix this?

Hi fiche- very cool that you've found the Arduino hardware UART init.

As you've seen, there isn't currently an Arduino Zero(and TS+) SoftwareSerial. If the hardware pins are available, that's of course optimal, but for cases that there are not, I've been working on adapting the SoftwareSerial library for the SAMD21 platform. I've attached a zip if you'd like to test it.

Wow, that's awesome, thanks!

Just had to change SoftwareSerialZero.cpp:270 to

uint8_t in = digitalPinToInterrupt(_receivePin);
otherwise it wouldn't compile.

It works like a charm, thanks again!

Is your code licensed and/or hosted somewhere else by any chance?

Self replying:

The tinyscreen+ has hardware serial ports, so no need to use SoftwareSerial libraries.

Now I need to find how to properly declare it for the GPS module!

Something along, just need to find the good PIN values

Uart Serial2(&sercom1, PIN_SERIAL2_RX, PIN_SERIAL2_TX, PAD_SERIAL2_RX, PAD_SERIAL2_TX);

Hello!

Disclaimer: Total noob on arduino development.

I just received my TinyScreen+ and GPS module.
I played with the TinyScreen+ alone and everything is fine, hello world was ok, etc.
However, I can't find a working example of the GPS module.

I'm using Arduino IDE 1.6.9 on OSX, and it seems there's a problem around the SoftwareSerial library.

What happens is the following:

With https://codebender.cc/sketch:37442#TinyShield_GPS.ino

Code Select Expand

/Users/Fiche/Downloads/TinyShield_GPS/TinyShield_GPS.ino:18:28: fatal error: SoftwareSerial.h: No such file or directory
#include <SoftwareSerial.h>
                            ^
compilation terminated.
exit status 1
Error compiling for board TinyScreen+.

I googled a bit, tried to move the library from "/Applications/Arduino.app/Contents/Java/hardware/arduino/avr/libraries/SoftwareSerial" to "/Applications/Arduino.app/Contents/Java/libraries/SoftwareSerial" but I got an error telling me this isn't compatible.

Not understanding everything but I think the library isn't compatible with the TinyScreen+ board/cpu (am I right?)


Then I found https://codebender.cc/sketch:60928#TinyShield_GPS_V2.ino

But I get

SoftwareSerial256.cpp:129: error: #error This version of SoftwareSerial supports only 20, 16 and 8MHz processors
#error This version of SoftwareSerial supports only 20, 16 and 8MHz processors

Bummer.

Sooo, I'm now stuck. I don't really know where to look, what should I do, any help would be greatly appreciated
