how can I realize that is not my fault firmware on blackfin. As I put the processor on another robot (which work) and still not receive anything?

with the new robot when i press V => ## Version - TVM SRV-1 Blackfin w/C interpreter - 19:09:37 - Mar 11 2008

and when i replace the blackfin with our => $ (one caracter)

it's the firmware

P.S

in this firmware when i press 'I' => one array with foto and than i press V is OK
but in firmware from my robot version from Mar 08(?) 2010, when i press 'I' result one array and than i press V him send ##??kllkl nkl 10:29:10 -....
why?

Anyone know how i shold make an hardware reset? I think it's posible that. I find i pdf with "How to configure MatchPort b/g for Restore to Defaults", they have an process in case lost the connection, but it;s verry ambiguous. If you have same ideea "let me know".

admin YaBB Administrator Posts: 3675	Re: Wirelles problem Reply #19 - 06/17/10 at 7:11am Through the serial interface, you can restore defaults by selecting menu option 7 and then save & exit (menu 9). You might find additional information in the Matchport user guide - http://www.lantronix.com/pdf/MatchPort_UG.pdf

vaolaritei Junior Member Posts: 62	Re: Wirelles problem Reply #20 - 06/20/10 at 10:44pm i try that and don't work, i try hardware reset and don't work too. So i bought an new matchport from lantronix, but it's expensive . May be replaced by samething more cheaper such as ZigBee(XBee) Wireless(WiFi)module , i saw same module at ~30$ price with 20 pins.

vaolaritei Junior Member Posts: 62	Re: Wirelles problem Reply #21 - 06/21/10 at 2:05am i read samewhere that i need to cange the firmware from matchport. Where i found this firmware, and with lantronix deviceInstaler 4.3.0.0 i can update firmware with GE version. Or if you know a good process for firmare(matchport) update process, please notify me.

vaolaritei Junior Member Posts: 62	Re: Wirelles problem Reply #23 - 06/21/10 at 7:31am Thanks, about XBee it's posible to replace matchport(92Euro) with an XBee at 30 Euro? I ordered an matchport. If anyone have same example or advice about an rubick cube, how take the matrix with color and anything? And how can i measure if matchport emit wifi radio? i m asking if i can repare the old one?

Original SRV-1 radio board had direct support for XBee. See
http://www.surveyor.com/blackfin/#blackfin1

Legacy Boards
* Matchport/XBee Radio Module EAGLE Files: bfin-radio-v2.sch bfin-radio-v2.brd

Note that XBee interfaces at 115kbps and needs hardware flow control, so actual throughput is 80kbps. I think also, you might have to program the Blackfin UART for 112kbps instead of 115kbps, since there was a clock mismatch that caused problems when we tested this a few years ago.
