[PRE-RELEASE] LogicMachine firmware 2023 RC3

[admin]

LM firmware 2023 RC3 is ready for testing. This firmware contains a fix for visualization not working in iOS15 and other minor bug fixes.
This is a final release candidate. It will be either marked as stable or a stable release will be published in several weeks.

hi everyone,

since FW 2023 RC1 resident scripts are fully restarted after every "save" to the script. all variables are lost, just like with event scripts between calls. debugging of large scripts that compute variables and accumulate data over a longer period of time became significantly more complicated than before, when all the variables of the resident scripts were kept in memory and you were able go through a script step by step during operation and eliminate all the bugs. at the end the scripts behaviour after a reboot for example was easily checked by disabling and enabling it to force a full restart.
i clearly prefer keeping the variables in memory after save and force a restart only after disabling it.
what do you think of this change ?

[admin]

If you have some long-running calculations then save your data into storage.
Nobody else complained about this change and we think that the full restart is better than a partial reload. Most resident scripts follow this pattern:

Code:

if not init then
  -- setup code
  init = true
end
-- main loop code

So reloading only affects the main loop code. Any changes made to the setup code part require a manual disable/enable sequence which is not intuitive for the end users.

Hello, I am configuring a new LM5p2-KC device updated to the latest firmware and I have connected a CAN dali gateway. Everything is well connected but when searching for the device, it tells me this message.

'Failed to communicate with the device. Make sure that it is powered on and CAN bus is connected'


I have 24V on the dali gateway input and 4.9V on the CAN bus

I just tried the same on same HW and it works fine, maybe you changed master code?

[admin]

How long is the cable? Are there any other CANx devices on the bus?
Try this:
1. Run line scan to detect the DALI gw. See if green LED blinks on the gw.
2. Switch to the Monitor tab, press "Start monitor" and press the programming button on the DALI gw. See if you get a message from it.
3. Click Tools -> Enable direct communication. You might also need to reset the DALI gw by long pressing the programming button.

I have reset the project several times, just to try.

the canX gateway is located next to LM.

1- Sometimes it does blink.
2- No message arrives
3- It was not solved

I just tried another canx gateway and it works perfectly. Can you tell me how to proceed to recover it? I think I had to download a dfu file

[Daniel]

Did you try resting it by long press on programming button?

After flashing reset the DALI gw by performing a long press of the programming button.

If this does not help then the device is damaged and must be replaced.

Hello,
The device is damaged, it keeps reproducing the same error. As I indicated, I have more footbridges in stock purchased in the same order and without failures.

tell me how to proceed. Thank you.

Send it back to us for inspection. We will check if it can be repaired and what might have caused the damage.
Next time please create a separate topic. This hardware issue is not related to the LM firmware.

Yes sorry. You can delete the messages so as not to harm the thread of the post. Thank you
