shark boy Posted April 14, 2014 Share Posted April 14, 2014 The files are in the OP. OK ,yeah, If I knew what that ment I wouldn't of asked. I said I wanted to know what ver of Arduino software you were using, that could of easily been answered. Hopefully that answer is in the O.P. as well. I downloaded the typhon software from the bottom of Meeps posts. On the bright side I found this. shark boy 1 Quote Link to comment

You'll need to use version 1.0 or higher. 1 Quote Link to comment

It's a very nice DIY controller, but it does take a lot of wires. My version of the Typhon code is only compatible with Arduino 1.0 or higher. Quote Link to comment
Horerczy Posted April 15, 2014 Share Posted April 15, 2014 Bleh. I hate it when stuff doesn't compile. I think adding a bell curve function was a mistake. While I crown it as my highest mathmatical achievement, it's usually better/ the same to have a parabola. Next interation wil; use parabola. Mathmatically speaking what is the difference between a bell curve and a parabola. I crapped out of math around Pre-Cal. 1 Quote Link to comment

Horerczy Posted May 7, 2014 Share Posted May 7, 2014 Ok so someone explain how to program this thing to me like I'm 5. I have no idea what I'm doing. 1 Quote Link to comment
jedimasterben Posted May 7, 2014 Share Posted May 7, 2014 Ok so someone explain how to program this thing to me like I'm 5. I have no idea what I'm doing. To download: 1. Extract and drag the Typhon_Code_Meep folder to your "sketches" folder. Extract the DS1307 library in the extra_libraries folder to your libraries folder. 2. Open the Arduino program. 3. Open the sketch (inverted or normal) 4. Select COM port (Look in "Devices and printers" to find out the COM port of the Typhon) 5. Select "Arduino Duemilanove w/ Atmega328" from "Boards". 6. Attach the FTDI cable. The bottom of the FTDI will be facing up towards the LCD screen on the Typhon when you plug it in. 6. Hit upload. 1 Quote Link to comment
Horerczy Posted May 7, 2014 Share Posted May 7, 2014 You lost me at extract to libraries. is the ds1307 library a particular file or the entire folder? 1 Quote Link to comment
jedimasterben Posted May 7, 2014 Share Posted May 7, 2014 The entire DS1307 folder goes into your libraries folder. 1 Quote Link to comment
Horerczy Posted May 7, 2014 Share Posted May 7, 2014 ok I got everything to compile but I don't think that the typhon I got likes the idea of being overwritten. It's one of those steves ones and it reboots every time I tell it to upload and it kills the sync. 1 Quote Link to comment
jedimasterben Posted May 7, 2014 Share Posted May 7, 2014 Its showing up properly in device manager? 1 Quote Link to comment
Horerczy Posted May 7, 2014 Share Posted May 7, 2014 Probably not. I'll need to troubleshoot it after work. I'm probably only getting the ftdi cable to show up. 1 Quote Link to comment
jedimasterben Posted May 7, 2014 Share Posted May 7, 2014 Eh, that's really all you need. If it is working, then the Typhon will have power and be all lit up. (make sure you do NOT have the 12v power still plugged in, it will be powered by the 5v from USB) That and make sure in the Arduino program that you make sure the proper Arduino (Arduino Duemilanove w/ Atmega328) is selected. 1 Quote Link to comment
nelson1240 Posted May 10, 2014 Share Posted May 10, 2014 *****HELP***** I believe i got ahead of myself, I just updated the software on my BoostLED Typhon controller and well it took it, but don't really understand the interface. I gives me dusk and dawn times but in large numbers. can't quite make out the setup. just trying to start my lights (two channels) one at 5:30 am to 7:30 pm the other from 6:30 am to 6:30 pm. Is there a way to test the lights, like just turn them on? I can't seem to put the original software back on, said something about "Wire.send has been renamed Wire.write()" and something similar with the receive() and read(). Would appreicate any quick help 1 Quote Link to comment

Horerczy Posted May 13, 2014 Share Posted May 13, 2014 Meep explain to me what I'm doing wrong. I keep getting stk500_getsync (): not in sync: resp=0x00 errors I have the upload set to com3 which is what the ftdi cable reports it's location to be with it set to that duemilanove w/ATMega328 option. I've got the DS1307 library set up in the arduino program function as well. When I tell it to upload the typhon just resets itself a couple times and nothing more. :/ 1 Quote Link to comment

When I tell it to upload the typhon just resets itself a couple times and nothing more. :/ That means that your board is not accepting the upload. Try uploading a basic DS1307 sketch first. If that doesn't work, try a different com port in the Arduino menu and upload the Typhon code from there. Quote Link to comment
Horerczy Posted May 14, 2014 Share Posted May 14, 2014 You mean like that file DS1307_cpp that came with the library? Cause that wont even compile >.> 1 Quote Link to comment
pyrokidd89 Posted May 14, 2014 Share Posted May 14, 2014 Hey meep have you looked into the temp probe thing at all? 1 Quote Link to comment
MeepNand Posted May 14, 2014 Author Share Posted May 14, 2014 Hey meep have you looked into the temp probe thing at all? I have indeed! I'm actually working on something like that with another user here, so I can add it into the Typhon main code when I'm done. You mean like that file DS1307_cpp that came with the library? Cause that wont even compile >.> If you open up the Arduino program, and go to examples --> DS1307 a list of example sketches will pop up. Try one of those. 1 Quote Link to comment
Horerczy Posted May 14, 2014 Share Posted May 14, 2014 I'll try that when i get home then. 1 Quote Link to comment

Horerczy Posted May 15, 2014 Share Posted May 15, 2014 Tried the example sketches, still getting the same sync error. Cant figure it out for the life of me. 1 Quote Link to comment
