Error Status: 0x80FF0144 Code: 324 Module: 255

Mbed OS
1

Hello! I am trying to receive a command (in the form of a string) from a serial port from my laptop to a STNUCLEO-F767ZI development board, store that data, then use it to control the frequency of a blinking LED and the time it stays on. The first half of my code works; it can receive and store a string of numbers as integers. However, Mbed OS crashes whenever it gets past that. Using Arduino IDE’s serial monitor, this is what is printed when I send over the string ‘1005000’:

I got '1005000
’

Servo velocity: ‘100’
Servo time: ‘5000’

This is my code; I used the empty Mbed 6 program template, and the only file I edited is main.cpp. I am using the latest version of Mbed Studio, and all of my tools are up to date.

Hello,

I do not know, but your code is running and no crash occurred, only the behavior of LED is not like expected.

After some modification it is like I expected, but of course I do not know what exactly do you want to achieve.

//functions end
int main(void){
    //setup
    pc.set_baud(9600);
    char buffer[10] = {};
    PwmOut servoXPin(LED1);
    //setup end

    while (1) {
        if (pc.readable()) {
            sleep_for(100ms);
            pc.read(buffer, 10);  //get data from pc and store it in buffer
            printf("I got '%s'\n\n", buffer);

            servoVelocity = arrayConcat(buffer, 0, 3);
            servoTime = arrayConcat(buffer, 3, 4);

            printf("Servo velocity: '%d'\nServo time: '%d'\n", servoVelocity, servoTime);
            
            servoXPin = (float)servoVelocity/100; 
            memset (buffer,0,sizeof(buffer));
        }
        if(servoVelocity > 0){
            timeLeft = servoTime;
            while (timeLeft) {    
                timeLeft-=100;
                sleep_for(100ms);
            }
            servoXPin = 0;
        }
    }
}

What settings/Mbed versions are you using? In this code, I send a string of 7 numbers: the first 3 numbers are to be interpreted as the period (in milliseconds) of a PWM pin while the latter 4 numbers are to be interpreted as the time the PWM stays active. I will try running your code on my end to see if it will work.

The latest 6.15.1.

I got '1005000
'

Servo velocity: '100'
Servo time: '5000'

I got '0101000
'

Servo velocity: '10'
Servo time: '1000'

I got '0505000
'

Servo velocity: '50'
Servo time: '5000'

Using your code, the program doesn’t crash anymore; however, I still cannot get the PWM pin to stop flashing. I think at this point my issue has been resolved. Thanks for your help!

It is working in my case.
