Hi, I just received my UDOO Quad board and after putting the latest image (UDOObuntu_quad_v1.1) i ran Arduino IDE. With the "bare minimum" sketch uploaded to the DUE side i have my CPU hoovering at 40-70%. I have uploaded a small sketch to monitor a one wire DS12x20 temperature sensor. But after some period of time i see the Arduino "IDE closed itself".. With IR thermometer the heat sink is around 55-57 C, it is a little hot isn't it... Code: #include <OneWire.h> // OneWire DS18S20, DS18B20, DS1822 Temperature Example // // http://www.pjrc.com/teensy/td_libs_OneWire.html // // The DallasTemperature library can do all this work for you! // http://milesburton.com/Dallas_Temperature_Control_Library OneWire ds(10); // on pin 10 (a 4.7K resistor is necessary) void setup(void) { Serial.begin(9600); } void loop(void) { byte i; byte present = 0; byte type_s; byte data[12]; byte addr[8]; float celsius, fahrenheit; if ( !ds.search(addr)) { Serial.println("No more addresses."); Serial.println(); ds.reset_search(); delay(250); return; } Serial.print("ROM ="); for( i = 0; i < 8; i++) { Serial.write(' '); Serial.print(addr[i], HEX); } if (OneWire::crc8(addr, 7) != addr[7]) { Serial.println("CRC is not valid!"); return; } Serial.println(); // the first ROM byte indicates which chip switch (addr[0]) { case 0x10: Serial.println(" Chip = DS18S20"); // or old DS1820 type_s = 1; break; case 0x28: Serial.println(" Chip = DS18B20"); type_s = 0; break; case 0x22: Serial.println(" Chip = DS1822"); type_s = 0; break; default: Serial.println("Device is not a DS18x20 family device."); return; } ds.reset(); ds.select(addr); ds.write(0x44, 1); // start conversion, with parasite power on at the end delay(1000); // maybe 750ms is enough, maybe not // we might do a ds.depower() here, but the reset will take care of it. present = ds.reset(); ds.select(addr); ds.write(0xBE); // Read Scratchpad Serial.print(" Data = "); Serial.print(present, HEX); Serial.print(" "); for ( i = 0; i < 9; i++) { // we need 9 bytes data[i] = ds.read(); Serial.print(data[i], HEX); Serial.print(" "); } Serial.print(" CRC="); Serial.print(OneWire::crc8(data, 8), HEX); Serial.println(); // Convert the data to actual temperature // because the result is a 16 bit signed integer, it should // be stored to an "int16_t" type, which is always 16 bits // even when compiled on a 32 bit processor. int16_t raw = (data[1] << 8) | data[0]; if (type_s) { raw = raw << 3; // 9 bit resolution default if (data[7] == 0x10) { // "count remain" gives full 12 bit resolution raw = (raw & 0xFFF0) + 12 - data[6]; } } else { byte cfg = (data[4] & 0x60); // at lower res, the low bits are undefined, so let's zero them if (cfg == 0x00) raw = raw & ~7; // 9 bit resolution, 93.75 ms else if (cfg == 0x20) raw = raw & ~3; // 10 bit res, 187.5 ms else if (cfg == 0x40) raw = raw & ~1; // 11 bit res, 375 ms //// default is 12 bit resolution, 750 ms conversion time } celsius = (float)raw / 16.0; fahrenheit = celsius * 1.8 + 32.0; Serial.print(" Temperature = "); Serial.print(celsius); Serial.print(" Celsius, "); Serial.print(fahrenheit); Serial.println(" Fahrenheit"); }
Hi there, try to run this command on a terminal: Code: cat /sys/devices/virtual/thermal/thermal_zone0/temp The cpu temperature should be about max 40 °C in idle. Regarding the hoovering, the cpu drain is only when you upload the sketch, not when the sketch is running on the DUE, right?
Re: Several Issues: hot cpu, high cpu load with Arduino IDE. Hi, Thanks for the answer. The temperature reading with the cat command is 52-54 C. I uploaded the sketch from the UDOO to the DUE side and i get this reading when the ARDUINO IDE is open (for example to see the serial monitor). Cheers
Re: Several Issues: hot cpu, high cpu load with Arduino IDE. Temperature may be normal, but it quits ARDUINO IDE after some time and also occasionally hangs completely. I have tried an other SD card but much the same behavior. I requested a return on the support but absolutely no answer... I expected to get slow support but not a defective unit..
Re: Several Issues: hot cpu, high cpu load with Arduino IDE. Hi there. We are managing your ticket, you'll get an answer shortly. Very sorry for the inconvenience and for the delay. Andrea
