Verification Error

[Zechenia]

Hi,

I recently tried to make a change to my INO file for my ReefAngel (note, not RA+).

It'd been a couple months since I updated libraries, so I went ahead and did that too. I was trying to add some logic around automatically turning on feedmode since I got an autofeeder.

Code: Select all

However, when I attempted to upload this, I got the following error:

Code: Select all

avrdude: verifying ...
avrdude: verification error, first mismatch at byte 0x7800
         0x00 != 0xff
avrdude: verification error; content mismatch
avrdude: Send: Q [51]   [20] 
avrdude: Recv: . [14] 
avrdude: Recv: . [10] 

avrdude done.  Thank you.

I tried a couple of the obvious things: Resetting the controller, replugging in the USB cord, restarting program, uploading a brand new memory file, checking the board type in the arduino program, removing the code I had just added. Nothing changed.

Then I went and opened the basic controller test file, and it uploaded fine.

Next, I uploaded an older version of my code, that looks like this:

This uploaded fine as well (thank god, at least I have something going on my tank now)

So, the next logical step was to start adding functionality from my updated code to the one that uploaded fine. First thing I added was the delayed start for port5.

Bingo, this now made me code fail to be verified. However, removing it from the first code still resulted in a failed upload.

Edit: and in case it matters: Binary sketch size: 31,344 bytes (of a 32,256 byte maximum)

Any pointers???

[Sebyte]

The new library's, because of additional functionality create larger INO files than previous versions. Have a look at this link http://forum.reefangel.com/viewtopic.php?f=12&t=3542

[Zechenia]

I saw that, I thought I was safe since my size was less than the max.

But I am assuming that has to do with other things (libraries for example) taking up space on the device?

[lnevo]

I dont think this error is space related.

[Zechenia]

If no one has any other ideas, I might try and revert libraries tonight and see if it helps.

[rimai]

That is not related to the libraries or code size.
It's failing to verify the code you just uploaded.
Make sure the cable is properly seated in the head unit.

[Zechenia]

The problem is that, without adjusting anything relating to my connection/cable, I can upload other INO files without problem. But this one fails every time

[rimai]

Is the error always at the same address?
0x7800

[Zechenia]

I'll have to try a few times tonight to be sure. But I think so.

[Zechenia]

Actually, let me add to that. I don't know if that address changed (like when I commented out code to see if I could get it to work). But it at least seemed consistent with one code base.

In other words, when I commented out the newly added stuff, that address may have changed. But then every time I would try to upload that slightly different code, I believe the address was the same.

Does that make sense? lol

Also, my freakout stage is over, since the backup code I am using has MOST of the functionality on it. Doesn't have my skimmer soft start (which is ok, since I am doing some work on it and haven't had it plugged in) and the LED values from memory.

[rimai]

Ok, when you can, please try uploading a couple different codes to see if you get the same error and write down the address that it has failed, if it does.

[Zechenia]

Ok, if different INO files have different errors, do you want me to attach the INO file with the error number?

[rimai]

No, just the error is enough.

[Zechenia]

Yup, same memory value everytime.

Attempted to downgrade to the 1.0.6 libraries, still failed.

Then went back to the libraries who's date looked most like the last time I updated, and ended up on 1.0.4.

It uploaded!

Now, I am going on vacation so I won't be here over the weekend. My code as far as feedmode looks good, and won't lock anythign up now will it?

[rimai]

What was the size of the code it uploaded correctly?

[Zechenia]

Binary sketch size: 30,134 bytes (of a 32,256 byte maximum)

[rimai]

If you would like, you can send the unit back for analysis.
It looks like it may have to be repaired/replaced.
