Orion Port 5 deadlock

#1

Hi,

using 7 Seg. LED on Port 5 forces the Orion to hang up. There´s no
connectivity via serial (USB) available.

Is Port 5 only for Bluetooth or WiFi devices ?

Thanks
Marcel

@mkmakeblock,

I used the example code for the 7 Segment LED, and could not get it to work either. Besides communications devices, I use Port_5 for the MeTFT.

Hi mkmakeblock & mddickey,

In the new Makeblock library, we have fixed the Port 5 as serial port, it cannot be used as digital port.
If you want to use it as digital port, you can change the head file for the Orion.

Hi @techsupport,

but then, I’ll suppose, it can’t be used as serial port for (wiFi, BT) anymore ??

Thanks

Hi mkmakeblock

It still can be used as the Serial port after you changed the head file.
But it cannot be used as digital and serial port at the same time.
Duo to that there may be some conflict for USB connection when use port 5 as digital port.
If it is not necessary, we still suggest that fix the Port 5 as Serial port only and use other digital port for the 7 Segment LED.
