[C.CC USERS] Neither blink() nor heartbeat() run on arduino tvm on seeeduino mega V1.23 ?

[Vjekoslav Matic]

Dear all,

I am struggling since several days to get my *Seeeduino Mega 1280* board
V1.23 running with Transterpreter-win-dev-20110201.1855.

1. I checked the hardware with Arduino IDE 1.0.1 and LED blink sketch on
Arduino-pin 13 or 12 was running OK. This means there is definitely green
LED on PCB connected to pin 13 and all HW is OK.

2. With Transterpreter I was apparently able to load the firmware and later
also compile and download both heartbeat() and blink() examples. However,
heartbeat() code was producing only short light pulses ~100 ms with ~500ms
breaks and blink() example did not work at all = LED off(neither on pin 13
nor on pin 12).

3. I checked all list discussions. Except concerns about LED.pin=-1 I did
not find anything else.

4. I also tried to download the ARduino Mega tvm and compile & download code
for Arduino Mega with same results as in point (2).


Can you pls check if download transcript below is OK?
Are there any known issues with these examples?
Is there any other way to check if occam-pi code was really started on the
tvm or if tvm is running at all? Can I access and communicate with console
using UART?

Thanks & Regards,
Vjeko
