Help !!! Smart GPU Questions

Let's try this again. I recently bought a smart gpu from vizic technologies, however their site won't allow me to download the arduino library and examples. I would like to know if I could download them from a different site?? Any help with this problem would be appreciated. As I am a newbie, hopefully someone would see it in their heart to help me.

Three posts in an hour?
Chill.

Go to this page:

Click on the two download buttons labeled "arduino".

Thanks for your help, but i've tried that and it won't let me download it. Says unavailable and download isn't successful. I am trying to download it from my cell phone. Not sure if that makes a difference or not.

Works for me.. Why would you need it on your cellphone?

The site is primarily Adobe Flash which may explain why it doesn't work on your phone.

I don't need it on my cell phone. Im a truck driver so my cell its my only resource for the internet, its more reliable. Trying to download it so i can transfer it to my laptop.

I thought so. Is there another way for me to download it??

Thanks alot John :slight_smile:

DIY nail guns that barely shoot i'm mostly ok with. Its web forum posters in control of 100000 lb moving at 80 mph that really freak me out. Please pull over and get some coffee and your internet fix!

Actually he never said he was doing any of this while driving. You just assumed that. So what makes you think he is putting anybody at risk?? It's my not so humble opinion that you owe this gentleman an apology.

@joseph_m, you also made an assumption.
It's my opinion you owe the lady an apology. :wink:

Uploading it to another website for you. Should take a minute

EDIT: ...or two as the site says

I sent the address as a private message

Lol, you guys shouldn't be fighting over little old me :wink:

Thanks pcpc9 :slight_smile:

Also, would I be able to execute commands stored in a text file on a sd card ??
I have an arduino uno, which I found out it doesn't support my code since its way bigger than the memory would allowed me.

Ps: Im trying to execute commands from my.sd card instead of the arduino.uno
(calling.commands on sketch from sd card)

If you are asking what I think you're asking, then no, you can't directly do that.
The commands you'll typically use in a sketch are C program statements, that have to be translated by the compiler into AVR code to be executed by the Arduino.
The Arduino is too "small" to host the compiler itself, so you can't put C program statements on a SDcard to execute them as-is.
However, you could come up with a text representation of the various things you want to do (set pin X high, wait Y milliseconds, ...) and write that to a text file. Then write a program for the Arduino that knows how to read such a text file a little bit at a time, and execute/interpret the text to run the commands and do what needs to be done.
Basically, you'll be turning the Arduino into a "virtual machine" that interprets a kind of program that you come up with in the input text file.
Note that if a command needs lots of data space to store large images or whatnot, that will likely never work, because there is not that much RAM available in the AVR microcontroller.

Damn, the program i was trying to work on is one of those that kept growing insize. It started at 5k according to the compiler but is now over 28k and is barely working as is. I have no idea how big itll be once ive done everything i need to do. I had been hoping to be Be able to program into a text file to increase my size but since that aint possible Is there any other way to do that? I.e. put each void randomnamehere() statement in its own area or chip or something? I had even tried using multi arduinos in an i2c config for extra space but wow was that programming above my skill level.

Is there any other way to do that?

An Arduino MEGA will give you lots of extra space, PROGMEM tweaking also helps.

Sorry guys, but I have yet another question. How would I transmit gprmc strings from gps unit over i2c to another arduino whenever parsed values change?? Or would I need to be able to request string to be sent after certain timeout?? Ie, multimaster setup. Would it also be possible to send any other data?? Such as lcd commands or any info at all to another arduino on i2c, or the only thing it can do is blink led??

Thanks alot. That's what i'll do. :slight_smile:

Hi all dose anybody have the pcb schematic for this unit. Apparently you can get it for development purposes. I mean the smartgpu 2
