DLPNIRNANOEVM: Connecting Arduino to DLPNIRNANOEVM through UART port

Danilo A.

Part Number: DLPNIRNANOEVM

Hi Team,

Our customer is trying to connect the DLPNIRNANOEVM to Arduino MKR WIFI 1010 through the UART port. According to our customer,

I connected an external power to DLP NIR Nano, and connects four pins (1,2,3,and 4) to my Arduino board. I use the sample codes from DLP NIR Nano GUI app.cpp to generate UART commands. I use the Arduino Serial.write() and Serial.read() to send and receive commands. However, the Arduino board cannot receive any byte from DLP NIR Nano. It seems the connection is not built.

Should I connect all the 10 pins? And if the voltage is greater than 3.3V, will that affect the connection?

I understand that only pins 2-4 are required to use the UART port. He said in another email,

I connected the DLPNIRNANOEVM to my Windows OS, it works well, and there is no error status shown.

BTW, I tested the voltage of the expansion connector, pin 1 and 4 shows a voltage of 3.3V, but pin 3 has 0 voltage. Is this normal?
I connected pin 3 and 4 to my Arduino board tx and rx port, the corresponding rx has 3.35 voltage, but tx has 0 voltage. Will this be the case why I cannot receive any byte from serial?

I made mistakes when describing the serial sending, I sent an NNO_CMD, with 20 bytes, but the Serial write returns 0 bytes were sent. And when I try to read from the Serial, there are data there.

I enclosed pictures of how I connect my DLPNIRNANOEVM to my Arduino board. Both devices connect to external power. So they only connect via UART ports. I also enclosed my Arduino codes, I called the NNO_CMD_DLPC_ENABLE command.

Hello Danilo,

Welcome back to the forum!

Can you customer confirm that the EVM and Arduino share a common ground and that the RX from one component is routed to TX of the other and vice versa?

The NIRSCAN Nano UART interface operates at 3.3V. Please have your client confirm that the Arduino interface operates at this voltage as well.

Austin

Hello Danilo,

Need to check if EVM is getting adequate current too? Please refer to section 4.1 "External Power supply requirement" (page 40) of the DLP NIR Nano EVM user guide.

https://www.ti.com/lit/ug/dlpu030g/dlpu030g.pdf

You can also refer the schematic available in reference design for details;

Hi Vivek and Austin,

Our customer confirmed that the EVM and Arduino share a common ground and pin 3 (RX of Arduino) is connected to the TX of EVM while pin 4 (TX of Arduino) is connected to RX of EVM as shown in this picture below.

I asked our customer to capture the waveform of TX and RX and here is his response.

I don't have analog meter so I cannot show you the waveform. I have a level shifter, so I connect the RX, TX, GND, and input power of DLPNIRNANOEVM with my Arduino board via the shifter. I attached an image for that.

I also tested the NNO_DLPCEnable command, I attached the screenshot of Serial output. Return of NNO_Getack() is 0, which I'm not sure if the command send/receive is successfully or not.

Regards,

Danilo

Hello Danilo,

We will look into it. Meanwhile , Could you please confirm that EVM is booting properly i.e. the green LED is on and blinking? Please suggest them to try reset and wake button too.

Vivek

TI__Mastermind 26810 points

Hi Vivek,

Our customer shared a short video of his set-up showing the EVM is booting properly and there are data on the serial port. The ground of the DLPNIRNANOEVM is connected to the level converter as well as the ground of Arduino board. The DLPNIRNANOEVM is powered up by an external power supply.

Danilo

Hello Danilo,

Thank you for sharing the video. It will take us some time to review and analyze it. We will get back to you my middle of next week.

Hello Danilo,

Thank you for your patience.

It is difficult issue and we may be limited on how much we could help because we don't have the other hardware at our end to experiment.

Hello Danilo,

Could you please request the customer that the command packet is proper as mentioned in Section I of User's Guide.

Also this seem to be a duplicate ticket: https://e2e.ti.com/support/dlp-products-group/dlp/f/dlp-products-forum/1084892/dlpnirnanoevm-no-response-over-uart-with-arduino and request you to follow up wih that thread too

Hi Akhil,

According to our customer,

Thanks for the response. I have another question, are the RTS/CTS pins necessary for the connection?

Danilo

Hi Danilo,

By default the TIVA MCU has UART configured for Hardware flow control (RTS & CTS)

RTS/CTS Pin connection is not necessary but is advisable to have a stable communication.

Hi Akhil,

Thanks for the RTS&CTS info.

I also tried to connect the UART pins with my laptop via a USB breakout, and use codes same as the DLPNIRNANOEVM GUI codes. The responses are exactly the same as when I'm using Arduino to connect the DLPNIRNANOEVM. The commands are successfully sent out, but no response from DLPNIRNANOEVM.

I attached my connection image, screenshot of the results, and my codes here.

Hi Akhil,

Regarding the other thread, it seems to be a similar inquiry but it is from a different customer and using another version of Arduino.

Hi Akhil,

I just received this update from our customer,

I noticed my device port was incorrect in my last screenshot, I changed my codes, and also tried to connect DLPNIRNANOEVM with my laptop via a level converter, the output still shows there is data sent out, but no response received.

I attached the new screenshot and connection images, also my codes.

The white micro-USB connected to the DLPNIRNANOEVM is just a power supply.

Hello Danilo,

This is noted. We will look at the recent information given from the customer and follow up next week.

Hi Danilo,

Thanks for sharing the source code.

I see that the data header is being filled as a bit field. One thing that shoulld be considered is that bitfield structure are dependent on the endianess of the controller. I request them to ensure the data is being filled properly as per the command format mentioned in the users guide.

If possible can we get some logs which shows the actual data being sent via uart in hex format for better understanding and debug.

Please refer to the Section I and table - I.1 : User Guide

Regards,

Akhil

Hi Akhil,

Our customer was able to to solved the issue through this process.

I connected the DLPNIRNANOEVM UART pins (pin1,pin2,pin3 and pin4) to my Windows OS laptop by using a USB-UART bridge board. I use an external power for DLPNIRNANOEVM. Pin1 and pin2 are connected to a shift converter to the Power and GND of the USB-UART breakout board. Pin 3 and pin4 are directly connected to the USB-UART bridge board. I used the Serial.c functions to set up the serial port, and sends commands such as NNO_CMD_EEPROM_TEST, NNO_CMD_ADC_TEST, and NNO_CMD_DLPC_ENABLE to DLPNIRNANOEVM. And the device responded these commands via the UART connections to my laptop terminal.

He would like to know if the DLPNIRNANOEVM is compatible with embedded system.

Regards,

Danilo

Hello Danilo,

It is great to hear that your issue has been resolved. Thank you for reporting back your process that resolved the issue.

The DLPNIRNANOEVM is compatible with other host processors outside of PCs.

Regards,

Austin
