I've been working on firmware examples for the new featherwing. Right now all of the examples use circuitpython. I haven't put in an online repository yet. I will do this in over the next few days. I've been pretty pleased with how well circuitpython has worked for this - very easy and quick to program.

Right now all of the firmware examples just stream the data back to the host PC over USB. I am also pretty excited about trying to make some standalone devices which use feathers such as the pygamer https://www.adafruit.com/product/4242 which have a display, battery connection/charging, SD card, etc. The rodeostat featherwing can be plugged directly into the connector on back. It seems super nice for making a battery powered portable device. The pybadge is also interesting https://www.adafruit.com/product/4200. I think both are still available from Digikey.

We should have the featherwing PCBs available in about two or three weeks. There is some uncertainty on when we will receive the PCBs ... not surprisingly.

Never mind. Realized that I had to upload the potentiostat.ino to the RodeoSTAT. The SWV code is working now but I noticed that it outputs the difference between the forward and reverse currents.

My coding isn't great but going through the ps_run_squarewave_test.cpp I noticed that sampletest.curr is the difference between the forward and reverse currents. Any pointers on how to:

Get the forward and reverse components on their own? Pull the current decay behaviour (I_forward and I_reverse vs. t) of each forward and reverse pulse?

Any help would be appreciated. Thank you.

As far as i know it can be used within UK

I have a similar need. It's probably requires a 64:1 multiplexer. Any input is appreciated!

Yes, you can connect the +/-15V on the rodeostat to the +/-12V on the multiplexer.

Earlier revisions of the Rodeostat used a +/-15V DC-DC converter to provide the power rails for the op amps on the Rodeostat. Whereas, more recent revisions us a +/-12V DC-DC converter. The multiplexer is labeled to match the more recent versions of the Rodeostat. However, the multiplexer will operate fine on +/-15V.

Ah ha. I found a multiplexer example in the bitbucket code.

This answers my question. It's all in the standard firmware and the python functions are there.

Thanks

Hi Dickson, I am also interested in the Increasing current ranges. Please tell me how to swap out R8 ? I found the R8 resistor has been fixed in the board. Would I add another external trans impedance amplifier feed back path to increase the current range ?

@Will-Dickson, thank you! It works for me on my Windows 10 machine!

I did have some initial connectivity issues, and because my Arduino IDE was old, I uninstalled and reinstalled the latest version of the Arduino IDE to get the latest Windows drivers. The connectivity issues disappeared after that and a reboot.

It even looks looks like you fixed the units issue mentioned in http://forum.iorodeo.com/topic/421/the-colorimeter-app-v4-is-stuck-on-um-but-the-values-returned-look-like-ppm! Thanks.

I'll be happy to provide bug reports for me and the people I'm working with.

I'm also looking forward to having a new v0.6 installer for MacOS, but I appreciate that you prioritized the more pressing Windows issues first.

No +/- 0.00009uA (90 picoamps) is too low for the Rodeostat to measure.

I've put a new version (0.6) of the colorimeter software up on the download site here https://bitbucket.org/iorodeo/colorimeter/downloads/colorimeter-v06.exe

This is an upgrade of the software from Python2 to Python3 and from PyQt4 to PyQt5. It was a pretty big upgrade and there could still be some bugs lurking. If you run into any let me know and I will try to deal with them as quickly as possible. However, supporting the Python2/PyQt4 version of the colorimeter software was starting to get to be too difficult so I really needed to upgrade.

I bundled the python software into a single executable using pyinstaller. The final executable came out kind of large (200MB) which results in a bit of a slow application launch. I'll see if I can reduce the size in the future, but I didn't want this to stand in the way of getting you something to work with.

I will reply myself...

I had to install the FT232R USB UART Driver. Then a USB Serial Converter was installed and the port COM3 was installed after updating the driver

Now, selecting the COM3 port, it works perfectly.

Hope it can be useful for other Cheapstat users

Best regards
