Hello,
I have a problem when using the Artemis ATP together with a SX1509 and CD74HC4067 (both breakout boards from Sparkfun). This is part of a larger project were I am monitoring 13 potentiometers via the CD74HC4067 and several active low switches using the SX1509. I can read the pot values but as soon as I am doing anything with the SX1509 I get a HardFault crash. If I don't check the pots and only do the SX1509 things, it works. I also tried another CD74HC4067 library (light_ CD74HC4067) with same effect.

My code
Code: Select all
#include <Wire.h>
#include <SparkFunSX1509.h>
#include <CD74HC4067.h>

CD74HC4067 mux(10, 9, 26, 15);  // create a new CD74HC4067 object with its four select lines
const int signal_pin = A31; // Pin Connected to Sig pin of CD74HC4067
const byte BTN_ADDRESS = 0x3E;
int myvalues[13] = {0};
int master = 0;
SX1509 io; 



void setup() {
  // put your setup code here, to run once:
  Serial.begin(115200);
  Serial.println("Lets go");
  Wire.begin();

  pinMode(14, INPUT_PULLUP);
  pinMode(signal_pin, INPUT);
  
  if (io.begin(BTN_ADDRESS) == false)
  {
    Serial.println("Failed to communicate. Check wiring and address of SX1509.");
    while (1)
      ; // If we fail to communicate, loop forever.
  }
  for (int i=0; i<16; i++){
    io.pinMode(i, INPUT_PULLUP);
    io.enableInterrupt(i, CHANGE);
  }
}

void loop() {
  // put your main code here, to run repeatedly:
  check_potis();

  if(digitalRead(14) == 0){
    Serial.println("Change!");
    io.interruptSource();
  }
}

void check_potis(){
  for (int i = 15; i >= 3; i--) {
    mux.channel(i);
    int val = analogRead(signal_pin);
    int dif = abs(myvalues[i]-val);
    if(dif > 30){
      myvalues[i] = val; 
      Serial.println("Channel "+String(i)+": "+String(val));
    }
  }
}

The Error:
Code: Select all

I could narrow it down to calling
Code: Select all
io.interruptSource();
leading to this error, the mere interrupt of SX1509 (i.e pulling the Artemis ATP pin low) does not cause it.

When I try to drive LEDs with following code, it crashes immediately when arriving at the for loop:
Code: Select all
#include <Wire.h>
#include <SparkFunSX1509.h>
#include <CD74HC4067.h>

const int signal_pin = A31; // Pin Connected to Sig pin of CD74HC4067

The SX1509 parts do work if I don't check the pot values with the CD74HC4067 (i.e. comment out the check_potis() call).
Hooking up an individual pot to an Analog Input of the Artemis ATP and reading it works fine. I tried different pins for the CD74HC4067 and this didn't make a difference.
I am using the SV Bootloader Version 5 and newest Arduino IDE and Board Manager. Any one got an idea what might be causing it? Any alternative to the CD74HC4067 that works with the SX1509 and Artemis ATP?

Thank you!

I think the problem could related to the definition of 'myvalues[13]'. It allocates 13 places ( 0 - 12) to store a value.

In the routine check_potis() you try to store in myvalues[] on places 15 to 3. So you write on 3 places (15, 14, 13) a value that was NOT allocated for myvalues[]. As a result, you can get memory corruption and a hard fault.

Try to define with more entries: 'myvalues[16] = {0};' and/or adjust your program.

Bingo! Adjusting it to 16 solved it. Very well spotted, thank you so much - literally saved the project! :D (This is what happens while putting the thing together one puts the lead wires of the pots to pins 16 to 3 of the CD74HC4067 instead of 0 to 13 as originally planned..)
