Hi benamis,

You can obtain the files from https://github.com/picotech/picosdk-c-examples/tree/master/pl1000.

There is an incorrect reference to the PicoStatus.h file which this driver does not use.

I've updated the zip file in the post above so please download this and the source code file should have the fix.

Edit: The files are now available from GitHub:

https://github.com/picotech/picosdk-c-examples/tree/master/usbtc08

Please use the usbtc08con.c file from the usbtc08Con sub-folder.

Hi Hitesh,
Did you update the files in the link ?
I cann't find the same files that worked for me last time.
I using raspberry pi.

Can you check with the files from the Repository

and if you are still having problems let us know exactly what the errors are.

Hello,

I do have quite some problems getting the example C codes to run. I already installed the ps2000a drivers and used the usbtest, which works. I then downloaded the relevant picosdk-c-example. The autogen.sh , however, seems to be broken for the provided example. For me it first crashes because it can't find "../install-sh". After i created a link, it then crashes because it can't find "../ltmain.sh". After moving ltmain.sh to said directory I get the following log/error:

Code: Select all

Is this actually a problem with the autogen.sh or am I doing something wrong?
Could someone else try to prepare these build files?

Hi Tobi,

I've tested the build files on Ubuntu 14.04 LTS and the build process works without issues (I had to make the autogen.sh file executable first).

Have you installed the autoconf and libtool packages?

Hi,

Trying to compile a modified version of the usbtc08con.c example. Using command line. eg

Code: Select all

gcc -std=c99 -std=c11 -Wall -g -DONE=1 -I/opt/picoscope/include/ usbtc08con-test.c -L/opt/picoscope/lib/ -lusbtc08 -o test

Got this fault

Code: Select all

usbtc08con-test.c: In function ‘main’:
usbtc08con-test.c:181:3: warning: implicit declaration of function ‘usleep’ [-Wimplicit-function-declaration]
   Sleep(200);
   ^
usbtc08con-test.c:272:7: warning: format ‘%lu’ expects argument of type ‘long unsigned int *’, but argument 2 has type ‘uint32_t *’ [-Wformat=]
       scanf_s("%lu", &numberOfReadings);
       ^


Do I missing an external lib ??

Hi alsamaree,

Are there any error messages after those two warning messages?

Have you tried building our example source code file using the files from the linux-build-files folder?

You should be able to use the commands ./autogen.sh and make to build the application if you copy the usbtc08con.c file into the folder.

Hi Hitesh,

Thank you for your replay.
I have done building your example using

Code: Select all

./autogen.sh

and

Code: Select all

make

.
But I need to go this way to build the program/code bacause I need to add another external lib(bcm2835).

Any help?

Hi alsamaraee,

Looking at the errors, please change:

Code: Select all

scanf_s("%lu", &numberOfReadings);

to

Code: Select all

scanf_s("%u", &numberOfReadings);

For the warning related to the Sleep function, you may wish to check our linux-build-files folder to see how we configure and compile the code. The alternative is to delete the #define line and use usleep() instead of Sleep().

Hope this helps,
