I have built my robot and have my PAROL6 control board and the stlink adpator cable. Ready to start. The only documentation on the github site says:
PAROL6 control board software
Structure of the code:
PAROL6 control board software API
Code upload to PAROL6 control board software
To upload code on your PAROL6 board you need a programming cable and stlink device
Not the most helpful. How do I upload code? Do I have to flash the firmware on the board first? If so where is it and how do I do it? I have the STLink driver and can see the device (now I installed the driver) under my Windows 11 device manager. It is listed under Universal Serial Bus devices as STM32 STLink. There is no COM port listed.
I tried the commander software but it does not connect and just says COM 58. I cannot change the COM port to any other number as there is no COM port listed. Does the PAROL6 control board come pre-installed and ready to go? Should it connect to the Commander software? Can I power up the 24 volts BEFORE I do anything with the STLink and board?
The github says install platformio under vscode, but then never uses it. Why?
