FluxGrip configuration

If you require a slightly different configuration from the one that is shipped by default. This post outlines (in short) the required steps.

Requirements:

  • GNU/Linux computer
  • CanFace
  • FluxGrip

I will refer heavily to the FluxGrip: Quickstart Guide.

Step 1: Update firmware

1. Connect to FluxGrip using CanFace

2. Trigger firmware update

After a successful update (takes roughly 50 minutes); the monitor window should display the updated hash (18b37a5cc107aeae) for the firmware:

Step 2: Set registers

cd ~/fluxgrip_demo
source ./my_env.sh
# Set configuration registers
yakut register-access <NODE_ID> boost.period_rab_lab_oab '3000 2000000 40000 20000 354000 30000000 1000000' 
# Reboot so new config values are loaded
yakut cmd <NODE_ID> restart
# After the reboot, you can verify if the registers have been set correctly by reading
yakut register-access <NODE_ID> boost.period_rab_lab_oab

Tip: Node ID can be seen from yakut monitor window
