ps2000_open_unit() fails

Post by IgorLopez »

Hi,

I am writing a very simple application to capture I2C signals and check why my I2C client does not ACK when Master addresses it.
The problem is that my application can't even connect to the PicoScope (I have the 2204A version).
My PC (Ubuntu 14.04 x86_64) does work with the HW with the provided picoscope application (Mono) so it must be something very simple I have forgotten since this is my first attempt at using the PicoScope library.

This is how the code looks like (not finished but shows the problem directly)

Code: Select all

#define _GNU_SOURCE

/* Headers for Linux */
#include

		}

		if (0 == ok) {

		}
		ok = ps2000SetAdvTriggerChannelProperties(unitOpened.handle, unitOpened.trigger.advanced.channelProperties, unitOpened.trigger.advanced.nProperties, 0);
		if (0 == ok) {
			fprintf(stdout, "function call: ps2000SetAdvTriggerChannelProperties failed\n");
		}
		ok = ps2000_run_streaming_ns(unitOpened.handle, 160, PS2000_NS, 700, TRUE, 10, 15000);
		if (0 == ok) {
			fprintf(stdout, "function call: ps2000_run_streaming_ns failed\n");
		}
		// Close the unit
		ps2000_close_unit(unitOpened.handle);
	} else {
		fprintf(stdout, "function call ps2000_open_unit failed\n");
	}
}
it fails on the row: unitOpened.handle = ps2000_open_unit(); since it writes: function call ps2000_open_unit failed in the console.
The make file is as:

Code: Select all

CC = gcc
CXX = g++
BINDIR = bin
SRCDIR = src
OBJDIR = obj

EXENAME = collect_data

CFLAGS = -Wall -pedantic -std=c99 -O2
CXXFLAGS = -Wall -O2
LFLAGS =

INCL = -I/opt/picoscope/include
LIBS = -L/opt/picoscope/lib -lps2000
OBJS = $(patsubst $(SRCDIR)/%.c, $(OBJDIR)/%.o, $(wildcard $(SRCDIR)/*.c))
OBJS += $(patsubst $(SRCDIR)/%.cpp, $(OBJDIR)/%.o, $(wildcard $(SRCDIR)/*.cpp))
#=========================================#

all: $(BINDIR)/$(EXENAME)

$(BINDIR)/$(EXENAME): $(OBJS)
	@mkdir -p $(BINDIR)
	@echo "* LINKING $^ TO $@"
	@$(CC) -o $@ $^ $(LFLAGS) $(LIBS)
	@echo "[DONE]"

$(OBJDIR)/%.o: $(SRCDIR)/%.c
	@mkdir -p $(OBJDIR)
	@echo "* COMPILING $< TO $@"
	@$(CC) -c -o $@ $< $(INCL) $(CFLAGS)

$(OBJDIR)/%.o: $(SRCDIR)/%.cpp
	@mkdir -p $(OBJDIR)
	@echo "* COMPILING $< TO $@"
	@$(CXX) -c -o $@ $< $(INCL) $(CXXFLAGS)

clean:
	@rm -f $(BINDIR)/* $(OBJDIR)/*
	@echo "[DONE]"

.PHONY: all clean
so basically from console:
$ make all
* COMPILING src/CollectData.c TO obj/CollectData.o
* LINKING obj/CollectData.o TO bin/collect_data
[DONE]
$ ./bin/collect_data
function call ps2000_open_unit failed

It was a very easy problem.
Since I can run the provided picoscope application I thought my PC was properly setup but when checking with usbtest I get this:

Code: Select all

Pico USB device found: /dev/bus/usb/002/012

 - It belongs to root (which is not you) who has permissions rw-
 - The members of group pico (which you are not in) have permissions rw-
 - Everyone else (this is you) has permissions r--
 - You CANNOT write to this device and so will NOT be able to use it.
   Please see the driver installation instructions for assistance in 
   resolving this problem 
After fixing this my program did get the handle to the PicoScope but failed instead on

Code: Select all

ok = ps2000_set_ets(unitOpened.handle, PS2000_ETS_OFF, 0, 0);
....
ok = ps2000_run_streaming_ns(unitOpened.handle, 160, PS2000_NS, 700, TRUE, 10, 15000);
I need to dig furter into the documentation.

Hi Igor,

What error messages are you getting?
