vvvv beta question

Hey k.

Could you do a little test for me? If you run the sketch UDPSendReceiveString (an example from the ethernet lib) then send it artnet, what do you see in the serial monitor

My results described here http://arduino.cc/forum/index.php/topic,96830.0.html

As you can see I get the problems even just using this udp example sketch.

Note that I’m now testing in 1.0 but have tried 21,22 and 23 also.

Flushing the buffer (with EthernetUdp.flush()) didn’t seem to work, and only made the arduino freeze more frequently.

You can get the wiz811 from rs components http://uk.rs-online.com/web/p/embedded-peripherals/6989164/ or I can send you one of mine for testing

22

ok i will check

23

Ok the udp lib samples in arduino 023 are working ok, no freeze
I have letted a led system plugued to an arduino with my sketch one hour without freezes

Readen your links
I would like to know at wich rate you are sending from vvvv ?
Avoid continuous sending (but we discuss previously of this) with low hardware.

You should try to set a volatile boolean index to 1 while writting the buffer to store dmx data,
And do the job of sending i2c in a timer, when the boolean index==0

This to avoid write and read the dmx array at same time. Its a littlebit more code nut i believe it could be the solution

Once again avoid arduino 1.0 and prefer 023 version wich works with uno. Maybe part of your problem is there

Yours
