dcsbios, arduino leonardo and 2 pos switch problem

[shopiK]

Hi everyone.

I've discovered dcsbios some time ago. Now i'm testing the stuff and i've got a problem.

I can connect my dcs to arduino board. A can display some values on the LCD display. I can attach some tact swich also. But when i'm trying to add 2 position swich to my code - arduino Leonardo gets disconnected (when uploading). I need to upload some "blink" sketch to get it work again. Why?

 

This is my code (without 2pos swiches - code works properly):

 

 

#include <DcsBios.h>
#include <Servo.h>
#include <LiquidCrystal.h>  
LiquidCrystal lcd(7,6,5,4,3,2);

   lcd.setCursor(0,1);
   lcd.print(newValue);
}



void onVhfcommFreqChange(char* newValue) {
   lcd.setCursor(0,0);
   lcd.print(newValue);
}

void onUhfFreqChange(char* newValue) {
   lcd.setCursor(9,0);
   lcd.print(newValue);
}

   lcd.setCursor(9,1);
   lcd.print(newValue);
}

}

}

to send a UDP packet from this subroutine.

 Serial.write(' ');
 Serial.write(arg);
 Serial.write('\n');
}

void onDcsBiosWrite(unsigned int address, unsigned int value) {
if (address == 0x040a) {
unsigned int hdgDegValue = (value & 0x01ff) >> 0;

lcd.print(hdgDegValue);
}
}

 

 

And this code crashes my arduino.... why? :-)

Had problems like you described when i used pins of my mega that were also used by my ethernet shield. Dont know the used pins of leonardo, but i would try to change pins for your switches and retry. Perhaps that helps.

Tried to change pins as you suggested, but no success. Problem still occurs...
