Do you have the correct serial port selected from the tools-&gt;serial port menu? sometimes you can force the OS to open up a new serial port number if break the first one. For example, if you open the serial monitor before the device actually jumps to user code (its still in the bootloader) then the OS will fail to open the serial port for the device since you already have it open in the monitor window. </p> <p>The solution is to wait a few seconds before opening the serial port window after reset. </p> <p>try this code:</p> <pre><code>void setup() { waitForButtonPress(); SerialUSB.println(&quot;Does this at least print?&quot;); } void loop() { double val = 1.5; SerialUSB.println(val); delay(20); }</code></pre> <p>Then upload, wait 5 seconds, open the serial monitor, and hit the button. If there is a problem with printing doubles, the first message should print, but not the rest. </p> http://forums.leaflabs.com/topic.php?id=868#post-5265 Thu, 16 Jun 2011 14:24:53 +0000 iRobotGoddard 5265@http://forums.leaflabs.com/ <p>thank you it did compile and upload....but now nothing is printing in the serial monitor.... </p> http://forums.leaflabs.com/topic.php?id=868#post-5262 Thu, 16 Jun 2011 14:08:05 +0000 poslathian 5262@http://forums.leaflabs.com/ <p>You probably dont mean to be compiling to RAM. Not only do you have less space to work with, but the code is also stored in volatile memory, which means you loose it during a power-down. </p> <p>I recommend switching to flash, by selecting "Maple Rev3/5 Flash" from the tools-&gt;board menu. This will give you 5 times the amount of program storage space to play with! (~100KB)</p> <p>The reason you see such a drastic change in program size, is because calling SerialUSB.print on a double/float requires the library to pull in a ton of new code to print decimal numerals. </p> http://forums.leaflabs.com/topic.php?id=868#post-5261 Thu, 16 Jun 2011 13:49:24 +0000 iRobotGoddard 5261@http://forums.leaflabs.com/ <p>//this is the code below</p> <p>double value = 0;</p> <p>void setup() {</p> <p>}</p> <p>void loop() {</p> <p> value+=1.05;<br /> SerialUSB.println(value);<br /> delay(20);<br /> }</p> <p>//this is the offending line of code<br /> //this happens with double, float, and long</p> <p>Going to build using 'armcompiler' (ARM)<br /> Compiling core...<br /> No libraries to compile.<br /> Compiling the sketch...<br /> Linking...</p> <p>elf section <code>.data&#39; will not fit in region</code>ram'<br /> /Applications/MapleIDE.app/Contents/Resources/Java/hardware/tools/arm/bin/../lib/gcc/arm-none-eabi/4.4.1/../../../../arm-none-eabi/bin/ld: region `ram' overflowed by 1040 bytes</p> <p>collect2: ld returned 1 exit status</p> <p>//It's an overflowing issue, but I'm thinking this is still related to the limitation of the USB when working w/ a Mac </p> http://forums.leaflabs.com/topic.php?id=868#post-5259 Thu, 16 Jun 2011 13:39:01 +0000 poslathian 5259@http://forums.leaflabs.com/ <p>can you post the offending line of code and the result? </p> http://forums.leaflabs.com/topic.php?id=868#post-5258 Thu, 16 Jun 2011 13:18:46 +0000 iRobotGoddard 5258@http://forums.leaflabs.com/ <p>I am calculating numbers that are larger than the scale of "int" type variables. It was explained to that the USB has issues when working with newer operating systems, i.e. Mac OSx, Windows 7, etc. It was easily solved using a delay, but it's not working for "long" type variables. Can anyone help, I'm thinking of just resorting to using an FTDI chip. </p>
