Did i code brick my Arduino uno?

supper_slash
supper_slash over 8 years ago

Arduino no longer shows up on a COM port.

 

I am working on a 200khz 50% waveform generator.

 

I was working on a sketch and then running the arduino over to my scope to find out where I am at.

I managed to get it to 250khz with this sketch and all was well.

 

#include <avr/io.h>
#include <util/delay.h>


int main(void)
{
  pinMode(3, OUTPUT); // output pin for OCR2B
  pinMode(5, OUTPUT); // output pin for OCR0B


  // Set up the 250KHz output
  TCCR2A = _BV(COM2A1) | _BV(COM2B1) | _BV(WGM21) | _BV(WGM20);
  TCCR2B = _BV(WGM22) | _BV(CS20);
  OCR2A = 63;  //This is the reset point out of 255 count setting the frequency to 200khz.
  //The higher the number in "OCR2A" the lower the Frequency.


  OCR2B = 0;  //This sets the duration of the pulse, half of the above number is = to 50% on time.
}
// Set up 8MHz output
//TCCR0A = _BV(COM0A1) | _BV(COM0B1) | _BV(WGM01) | _BV(WGM00);
//TCCR0B = _BV(WGM02) | _BV(CS00);
//OCR0A = 1;
//OCR0B = 0;


// Make the 250KHz rolling
//while (1) {
//_delay_us(5);
// if ( OCR2B < 63 )
// OCR2B += 5;
// else
//   OCR2B = 0;
// }
//}

 

It was working fine, I plugged it back in and changed line 14, to: "OCR2A = 51;  //This is the reset point out of 255 count setting the frequency to 200kHz.".

And line 18 to "OCR2B = 26;  //This sets the duration of the pulse, half of the above number is = to 50% on time.".

 

And now the led's light up on the board, but there is no out put on any pins. Also when I reconnect it to the USB, it will not show up on any com port...

I am running win 10, and I tried another Arduino on the same cord, and USB port and it works fine. I shows up on com4.

So before I try and upload this code to the new board does anyone see anything in the code that can harm the arduino?

    The USB connetivity should be done via the USB chip, rather than the Atmel 328 chip. Three questions. Does it show in whatever operating system you are using as a connected device (ignore the Arduino IDE…

    The code did not brick the Uno. But if the boot-loader is gone(?), you can use the other working Uno to load a new boot-loader to the bad Uno. Try that and see if the Uno works again. Clem
