Hi,
I cant find any Fab Scan Hat (pi or uno), so I would like to use an Arduino UNO connected to the Pi.
If using an UNO rather than the HAT, do I need to change the UNO bootloader, or just upload the firmware ?
I've downloaded the firmware on to the Uno from this github repo
mariolukas/FabScanPi-Firmware: Firmware of FabScanPi 3D Laser Scanner (github.com)
I can send commands to the Uno via UART with the serial monitor from the Arduino IDE.
I've also got the Pi side working, after connecting the Uno to the Pi via USB, the server starts up but I am getting the bootloader message in the FabScan Server log file
INFO - fabscan.server.FSScanServer: FabScanPi-Server 0.9.4
DEBUG - fabscan.scanner.interfaces: Scanner Type is: laserscanner
DEBUG - fabscan.scanner.laserscanner.driver.FSSerial: Port in Config found
DEBUG - fabscan.scanner.laserscanner.driver.FSSerial: Latest available firmware version is: v.20200624
INFO - fabscan.lib.util.FSUtil: b'avrdude-original: Using autoreset DTR on GPIO Pin 7'
ERROR - fabscan.scanner.laserscanner.driver.FSSerial: Communication error on port /dev/ttyAMA0 try other flashing baudrate than 115200. Maybe corrupted bootloader.
From the browser I get the error (shortened message here for brevity)
The FabScanPi server is currently not running
So any ideas on why the FabScan server has comms error to the Arduino firmware ? BTW I do not have any hardware/peripherals etc connected to the Arduino UNO yet - I presume there is no feedback from the UNO to the FabScan via serial in terms of peripheral state ?
Thanks
Marcus
Got it working - used latest Pi image, and renamed the dev port in the config file.
hello,
I have realised my project with an original Arduino UNO (no clone,please because of speed problems with usb)
and an attachable ZUM Scan Shield for Cliclop.
This HAT has all the necessary connections and a slot for the stepper motor driver. You can buy it at ebay.
I use the TMC2209 from BIGTREETECH as stepper motor driver.
I downloaded the Arduino SW from Mario on GITHUB and modified it (pin-addresses on Cyclop).
Motherboard = CYCLOP, baud rate = 57600.

To see the work of the laser outside I mounted 2 additional LED. UNO pins 4 + 5

digitalWrite(RIGHT_LASER_LED_PIN, LOW);

}
compile and upload
I use FabScanPi-Server 0.10.0
important and necessary changes in fabscan.setup on Raspberry pi
sudo nano /etc/fabscanpi/default.config.json
"connector": {
"type": "serial",
"firmware": "ciclop",
"baudrate": 57600,
"autoflash": "False",
"flash_baudrate": 115200,
"port": "/dev/ttyACM0"
autoflash must be set to False, otherwise arduino software will be overwritten.
USB connection UNO <---> Raspberry Pi USB1
I hope i could help, it works perfectly for me
I forgot one very important thing when using UNO and ZUM.
The USB connector of the UNO is made of metal and must be insulated with tape,
otherwise there will be a short circuit in the power supply of the ZUM. (see picture)
Kind regards
