Romeo Edison pinouts incorrect

userHead helipilot50 2015-06-21 00:43:24 9790 Views6 Replies
I have a the Intel Edison version of Romeo.

If iI run "blink" from Eclipse the signal is on pin 2 instead of pin 13.

When I move the same Edison from the Romeo board to the standard Intel Arduino breakout board, the signal is on pin 13.

This means there is something different about the hardware of the Romeo board.

Please advise me of what to do.

Thanks
2016-03-07 12:30:10 Hi What is the resolution for this problem.

I have the same issue.
Led 13 blinks fine when using Arduino IDE and sending a Sketch to the Edison Romeo Board
But doesn't work when using the IOT Hello blink C++ example from Eclipse.
That example does work when I send it to the Intel Edison Arduino board.
Both Boards use the same poky Image: Linux romson 3.10.17-poky-edison+ #1 SMP PREEMPT Fri Jun 19 12:06:40 CEST 2015 i686 GNU/Linux

So what is the difference?

Thanks and regards,
Jacob

2015-08-13 15:19:43 If the same chip works OK in the standard breakout board, but does not work correctly in the Romeo, then the romeo is incorrect. userHeadPic mobilenumbertrackr
2015-08-06 00:14:32 Got a response on this issue from DFRobot support. Will test information given tonight at home.

In the meantime: Mr. Helipilot50, I would value being in touch with you if you don't mind. I'd be interested very much in knowing if you resolved this issue and got traction with your Romeo Edison board.

Thank you.

2015-06-25 11:18:37 Hi,

In arduino IDE , it's ok with the PIN13.

and we're solving this problem with Eclipse. :idea:

2015-06-24 19:49:29 The pinouts on both boards should the same, otherwise they would not be Arduino compatible, and they are both labeled identical.

If the same chip works OK in the standard breakout board, but does not work correctly in the Romeo, then the romeo is incorrect.

So I'll ask again: Is there special Romeo code/library that I need to use, from Eclipse, to correct the pinouts?

2015-06-23 17:13:49 check the standard Intel Arduino breakout board and the Romeo board schematic diagram to check the pin map. userHeadPic Leff
