MyFirstApp example : does not work

Post by hvanmunster@gmail.com » Mon Oct 23, 2017 10:01 pm

Hi,
I did all the preparations which are explained here: http://redpitaya.readthedocs.io/en/late ... stApp.html
So 'myFirstApp' was created.
Then I tried to follow these instructions: http://redpitaya.readthedocs.io/en/late ... EDbut.html

FIRST QUESTION (WEB UI section):
I pasted the code for the button in index.html, but where do I have to paste the following code?
< div id='led_off'>LED Off</div>
< div id='led_on'>LED On</div>
The button is displayed, but the above code appears right behind the button. Do I have to put that code somewhere else?
The instructions are not clear about this point for me.

2ND QUESTION (WEB UI section / file app.js):
I pasted the code for APP.LED_State = false just above the $function{} line in app.js
I have no idea if this is OK. The instructions are not mentionning where exactly these lines need to be pasted.

3TH QUESTION (Section 'Controller')
I opened src/main.cpp
Where do I have to paste the code "CBooleanParameter ledState("LED_STATE", CBaseParameter::RW, false, 0);"
I pasted the ledstate.update() code at the end of main.cpp, just above the list of void procedures.
Is that OK?

4TH QUESTION
The instructions tell me not to forget to initApp() and release it elsewhere (rp_app_init() etc...)
Where? How?

Then I compiled the application (not the congtroller??) in ...MyFirstApp directory using the make INSTALL_DIR command.
message from syste:: nothing to be done for 'all'

Button is visible, but no led is switched on/off

Any help is welcome.
Best regards,
Herman.

Hi there was a resent update to the docs

There was a note added
Note:
Requierment for manipulating leds using api is to first load fpga_0.94.bit fpga bitstream image. That can be done using next command line instruction: “cat /opt/redpitaya/fpga/fpga_0.94.bit > /dev/xdevcfg”
Try loading the fpga_0.94.bit FPGA image as stated in the note and try again.

best of luck

I just tried to do the "myFirstApp" example on my own, and I experienced the same issues.
First of all, basic knowledge in HTML, JavaScript and C(++) programming seems to be required implicitly.
I solved the issues by looking into "/root/RedPitaya/Examples/web-tutorial/2.led/" directory. There, all files are already modified in the required way.

The code has to be pasted within the body tags.
I recommend to paste it within the div tag called "content".

You can insert a <br> tag between </div><div> to create a new line.

The code has to be pasted between "$(function() {" and "APP.startApp();". I can neither explain why.

In C(++), global variables have to be declared between the #inlcude-part and the first function. Therefore, put it after "#include "main.h"".

It has to be pasted within the {} brackets of the "OnNewParams" function.
I'd also like to know what's the difference between "UpdateParams" and "OnNewParams" functions.

"rpApp_Init()" must be pasted within {} brackets of "rp_app_init()" function.
"rpApp_Release()" must be pasted within {} brackets of "rp_app_exit()" function.
If you want to understand these parts, you will have to study the API files and you need basic knowledge how to adress/write/read registers (microcontroller programming).

Interesting. I would have expected compiler errors because of how you modified "main.cpp" file.
Nevertheless, two more things:
  1. Even if you did all things right till here, you would experience a compiler error. To complete compiling successfully, you still have to modify "main.h" file.
  2. If you compile directly "/root/RedPitaya/Examples/web-tutorial/2.led/", the compiler will still report a couple of warnings. Confusing in some way.
