Brutzy (Customer) asked a question.
Serial Connectivity Trouble
Windows 10, Device Manager Shows ... USB Serial Device (COM6) ok
Arduino IDE: Tools _ Board _ P1AM-100 highlighted ok
Tools _ Serial Monitor _ error message _ "This channel is not valid"
Using Productivity Blocks example blinkOutputPoint.apb
IDE Compile _ Found upload port: COM8 ?
I keep changing _ Tools _ Port _ between Com8 and Com6?
Does baud rate matter?
#include <P1AM.h>
#include <P1_HSC.h>
void setup()
{
while(!P1.init())
{
}
}
void loop()
{
P1.writeDiscrete(HIGH, 1, 13);
delay(5000);
P1.writeDiscrete(LOW, 1, 13);
delay(1000);
}
Ah that's your issue then. The P1-15CDD2 has 8 input channels and 7 output channels. Input and output channels are numbered separately on combos, so if you are trying to address output channel 5, you can just write 5 e.g. P1.writeDiscrete(HIGH, 1, 5);
