OpenLog Artemis Configuration

Development Boards Artemis
1

Hello,

We recently purchased OpenLog Artemis to record vehicle movements. We faced multiple issues in the sensor configurations:

  1. The port drivers cannot be installed on some of our Windows 10 devices. After attaching the sensor to the computer using the USB-C port, the COM port was not detected (Serial Port was gray out). We tried to update the port drivers on Windows 10 device manager using the Arduino driver directory and VCP Drivers website (https://ftdichip.com/drivers/vcp-drivers/), however, we got an error saying that Windows 10 could not find the driver files. What should be done on these devices to detect the COM port?

  2. We use 64 GB SD cards to record the data. The SD cards are formatted to exFAT. However, we could not configure the sensor to record the data at frequencies more that 80 Hz. In other words, whenever we configure the sensor to 100 Hz, the configuration returns back to its previous state (i.e., 80 Hz) once we attach the battery to the sensor and press the RST botton to bring it out of the deep sleep mode. How can we record data on higher frequencies (e.g., 100 Hz)? (please note that the sensor does not automatically start to log data once the battery is attached. every time the battery is attached we should press the RST button to start logging data.)

  3. I realized that Pin 32 on the sensor can be used to stop logging data. I will be thankful if you inform me regarding how I can use this pin. I would like to stop recording data without plugging the battery out.

Thank you and best regards,

EDIT2 The binary firmware linked in the Hookup page is old. Use this version instead located in another user issue post on the forum: https://github.com/sparkfun/OpenLog_Art … is-v11.bin ENDEDIT2

EDIT It turned out that to install the drivers you needed to both turn off unsigned driver protection as well as use Windows Update, it should offer an optional driver update for a wch.cn which then, in combination with the unsigned driver protection being off, I was able to open the connection port to the board. I then updated the firmware, NOTE: Update the Bootloader FIRST then Upload the Firmware. Otherwise it bricks your board until you update in that order again.

The microSD cards are formatted in the exFAT format by the SD Association Formatter linked in the Hookup guide, however the SD card is still not recognized. The board is outputting data via serial though, so it’s otherwise functioning. There are some huge gaps in the Hookup document and I am still unable to utilize the product due to the SD card read issue, for which the Hookup document only suggests formatting it as a solution.

Hello TS-Chris,

I am having similar issues and I have gone through the hookup guide. The hookup guide simply assumes the arduino USB drivers will install and appears to be out of date, as does the current guide on the main Arduino IDE support site. The drivers are not recognized (not an error, simply not recognized as existing) by Windows 10 on every device I have access to here. I even performed a direct install of the .inf files and it the install proceeds without error, however the driver service fails to load for the USB Serial port.

Additionally I can also confirm that on both 32GB and 128BG microSD cards (Class 10, SanDisk), formatted with the recommend SD Formatter to exFAT in both quick and full formatting methods, the logger does not begin logging at any point for us, RST button or not. We followed the rather vague instructions to cut power rather than remove the card to stop logging and do so by disconnecting the battery.

As I cannot communicate with the devices (we have 3 OpenLog Artemis redboards recently received and just removed from packaging last week) I cannot configure the stop logging external button option.

The hookup page is seriously lacking in thoroughness, some light being shed on these issues would be extremely appreciated.
