Problem with Arduino R4 UNO

hardware support
1

Hi,
I am trying to use simpleFOC on my UNO R4, I can input my code directly to the R4 but the motor won’t move and made some electiccal sound. Then I tried to add the PR from (Support Arduino UNO R4 Minima and WiFi - PWM by runger1101001 · Pull Request #289 · simplefoc/Arduino-FOC · GitHub) To the librery, i will receive a error massage in the Serial Monitor:

Would this be my arduino software proplem?

Sorry for the terrible typesetting, didn’t notice it…

Hi @Test123 , and welcome to SimpleFOC!

Hmmm… is this on a UNO R4 Minima or R4 WiFi?

Are you sure the environment is set up correctly? Is this on ArduinoIDE or on PlatformIO?

The UNO R4 support is very new, so there could still be some bugs and problems. But this one looks more like something isn’t setup right - executing an undefined instruction isn’t something that should be caused by a bug in the simplefoc code, but more like a compiler error.

Hi @runger, Thank you for your reply.
I am using R4 wifi with IDE.
I’m not sure what do you mean by environment set up but i’m using SimpleFOC Shieldv2.0.4, SimpleFOC library 2.3 with the R4 PR, the newest version of Arduino IDE and the code that works on Arduino Mega or R3.
However one of the code I use for testing encoder that has include SimpleFOC library in it works well and doesn’t have the error massage. Once I add any code related to motor or driver it will show the error massage again.
Have also tried run the code on other pc, got the same result…

Hey,

Have you applied just the UNO R4 PR to the master branch, or are you using the dev branch?

It would probably be good to use the dev branch…

I’m not at my computer this week but I will look into it as soon as I can

It is possibly the same as this issue:

It has a similar message in logs:

Fault on interrupt or bare metal(no OS) environment

  addr: 20007e28    data: 00017915
  addr: 20007e2c    data: 0001772f

If it is then you may need to wait until 1.0.3 of renesas core is released (assuming the fix makes it into that release). You could also try an older version - perhaps this is a regression.

I still have the problem after update to ArduinoCore-renesas 1.0.4… I will have a try on dev branch today.

Hey @Test123,

For sure you have to use the dev branch for the moment if you want to use the UNO R4. The code for the Renesas MCU it is using is not yet in the release version of the library.

On the R4 Minima it is working for me.
On the R4 Wifi there is a problem, it crashes.

There seems to be a difference in how the R4 Wifi is using the framework that causes this error.

I’m looking into it.
