Semi-incompatible name change: The method `release_then_press`
is now `change`. For now a compatibility alias is supported.
Everywhere a `NoteSequence` was accepted, a single note is now accepted.
So for instance, `synth.press(30)` can be written instead of requiring
``synth.press((30,))`. The same goes for `change.retrigger`, which
will accept a single LFO or a sequence.
When there's no sustain, the release step needs to be calculated from
the attack level, not the sustain level. Otherwise, contrary to intent,
this leads to the actual release taking a loooonnngg time.
A note can be placed in the center (panning=0) or moved to just the left
(panning=1) or right (panning=-1) channels. Fractional panning values
place it partially in both channels.
Now the vibrato 'units' are 1.0 = one octave, 1/12 = one semitone,
1/1200 = one cent. Before, the units were somewhat arbitrary and were not
perceptually "symmetrical" around the base frequency.
For vibrato_depth = 1/12 and base frequency of 440,
before: pitch from 403.33 to 476.67Hz, not corresponding to any notes
after: pitch from 415.30 to 466.16Hz, corresponding to G# and A#
this has the side effect of making some notes more accurate, the new
frequency= value in the test is closer to the true midi frequency of
830.609...Hz.
and re-vamp overall envelope calculation again.
Now, if you set a low overall attack level like 0.2 this avoids the
"diminishing volume" effect when many notes sound at once. You need
simply choose a maximum attack level that is appropriate for the max
number of voices that will actually be played.
This class allows much more expressive sound synthesis:
* tremolo & vibrato
* arbitrary frequency
* different evelope & waveform per note
* all properties dynamically settable from Python code
This works for me (tested playing midi to raw files on host computer, as
well as a variant of the nunchuk instrument on pygamer)
it has to re-factor how/when MIDI reading occurs, because reasons.
endorse new test results
.. and allow `-1` to specify a note with no sustain (plucked)
Add address_little_endian for epaper displays with little endian
(low byte first) addresses.
Also clears allocated display and display bus memory so it has a
known state. The acep member wasn't always set so it varied
accidentally.
Fixes#7560. May fix#7778. Fixes#5119.
PicoDVI in CP support 640x480 and 800x480 on Feather DVI, Pico and
Pico W. 1 and 2 bit grayscale are full resolution. 8 and 16 bit
color are half resolution.
Memory layout is modified to give the top most 4k of ram to the
second core. Its MPU is used to prevent flash access after startup.
The port saved word is moved to a watchdog scratch register so that
it doesn't get overwritten by other things in RAM.
Right align status bar and scroll area. This normally gives a few
pixels of padding on the left hand side and improves the odds it is
readable in a case. Fixes#7562
Fixes c stack checking. The length was correct but the top was being
set to the current stack pointer instead of the correct top.
Fixes#7643
This makes Bitmap subscr raise IndexError instead of ValueError
when the index arguments are wrong.
In contrast to MidiTrack, this can be controlled from Python code,
turning notes on/off as desired.
Not tested on real HW yet, just the acceptance test based on checking
which notes it thinks are held internally.
a waveform object (array of 'h') can be passed in, replacing the
standard square wave. This waveform must be a 'single cycle waveform'
and some obvious things to pass in are sine, triangle or sawtooth waves,
but you can construct whatever you like.
This makes all the samples from Dan's collection register as 440Hz
when playing on pwmio or i2sout, using https://webaudiodemos.appspot.com/pitchdetect/index.html
to detect the frequency played (all should show as A 440Hz; an error
of up to 20 "cents" should be treated as OK)
There's an audible carrier with PWM output and the 8kHz samples. This is
probably a limitation of the peripheral which is documented as being for
input signals of 44 kHz or 48 kHz; the carrier frequency is a fixed
multiple of the sample frequency.
Closes#7800
* Enable dcache for OCRAM where the VM heap lives.
* Add CIRCUITPY_SWO_TRACE for pushing program counters out over the
SWO pin via the ITM module in the CPU. Exempt some functions from
instrumentation to reduce traffic and allow inlining.
* Place more functions in ITCM to handle errors using code in RAM-only
and speed up CP.
* Use SET and CLEAR registers for digitalio. The SDK does read, mask
and write.
* Switch to 2MiB reserved for CircuitPython code. Up from 1MiB.
* Run USB interrupts during flash erase and write.
* Allow storage writes from CP if the USB drive is disabled.
* Get perf bench tests running on CircuitPython and increase timeouts
so it works when instrumentation is active.
#7644 pointed out the need for better documentation.
To the best of my ability I noted the current behavior.
I think that there may be some ports that do not actually read
back the 'set' frequency value, but they are ports marked as beta
status (mimxrt10xx) or not maintained by us (cxd56).
This 2-in-1 PR started with the goal of support the Bangle.js 2
smartwatch with *no USB*.
* Adds "secure" DFU build support with a committed private key.
* Adds 3-bit color support with one dummy bit for the JDI memory display
* Allows nrf boards to have a board_background_task() run in RUN_BACKGROUND_TASK.
This is needed because the Bangle.js 2 uses the watchdog to reset.
* Renamed port_background_task() to port_background_tick() to indicate it
runs on tick, not RUN_BACKGROUND_TASK.
* Marks serial connected when the display terminal is inited. This means
that safe mode messages show up on the display.
ACep, 7-color epaper displays also pack 3 bits in 4. So, I added that
support as well.
* Adds 3-bit ACeP color support for 7-color e-paper displays. (Not
watch related but similar due to color depth.)
* Allows a refresh sequence instead of a single int command. The 7" ACeP
display requires a data byte for refresh.
* Adds optional delay after resetting the display. The ACeP displays
need this. (Probably to load LUTs from flash.)
* Adds a cleaning phase for ACeP displays before the real refresh.
For both:
* Add dither support to Palette.
* Palette no longer converts colors when set. Instead, it caches
converted colors at each index.
* ColorConverter now caches the last converted color. It should make
conversions faster for repeated colors (not dithering.)
The comment says it is `buffer[start:end]` but it assumed elements
were a single byte long. Now it correctly does multibyte elements
from array.array.
Fixes#4988
Previously the only other way of determining whether the Vfs has been mounted
read-write or read-only appears to be to attempt a write operation and detect a
possible OSError.
It wasn't possible for the user code to keep track of the state of the state
since the boot VM has to decide whether to (re)mount read-write or read-only,
but can't (easily) pass this information on to the runtime VM.
* read() is now readinto() and takes the buffer to write into.
* readinto() returns the number of valid samples.
* readinto() can be interrupted by ctrl-c.
* readinto() API doesn't support signed numbers because it never did.
* sample_rate is now required in the constructor because supported
values will vary per-port.
* 16 bit values are full range. 12 bit samples from RP2040 are stretched
in the same way they are for AnalogIn.
Fixes#7226
gaierror(-2) is raised in the failure case of getaddrinfo. This is
compatible with cpython's socket module.
Typical session:
```
>>> import socketpool
>>> import wifi
>>> socket = socketpool.SocketPool(wifi.radio)
>>> try: socket.getaddrinfo("boo", 0)
... except socket.gaierror as e: ee = e
...
>>> type(ee)
<class 'gaierror'>
>>> ee.errno == socket.EAI_NONAME
True
>>> ee.strerror
'Name or service not known'
>>> raise ee
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
gaierror: (-2, 'Name or service not known')

It's more efficient passing one register-sized structure than 4
arguments or 4 pointers; working on intermediate values of 'int' size
is also more efficient in code size!
On raspberry pi pico w, this increased free flash space by +104 bytes.
It also increased the speed of my testing animation very slightly, from
187fps to 189fps when run 'unthrottled'
.. a fast helper for animations. It is similar to and inspired by the
PixelMap helper in Adafruit LED Animation library, but with an extremely
fast 'paste' method for setting a series of pixels. This is a common
operation for many animations, and can give a substantial speed improvement.
It's named `adafruit_pixelmap` so that we can package a compatible version
in pure Python for systems that can't fit it in C in flash, or for
Blinka.
This is a proof of concept and can make a very fast comet animation:
```python
import time
import adafruit_pixelbuf
import adafruti_pixelmap
import board
import neopixel
from supervisor import ticks_ms
from adafruit_led_animation.animation.solid import Solid
from adafruit_led_animation import color
pixel_pin = board.GP0
pixel_num = 96
pixels = neopixel.NeoPixel(pixel_pin, pixel_num, brightness=1, auto_write=False, pixel_order="RGB")
evens = adafruit_pixelmap.PixelMap(pixels, tuple(range(0, pixel_num, 2)))
odd_indices = tuple((i, i+2) for i in range(1, pixel_num, 4))
print(odd_indices)
odds = adafruit_pixelbuf.PixelMap(pixels, odd_indices)
assert len(odds) == len(odd_indices)
comet_length = 16
comet1 = [color.calculate_intensity(color.GREEN, ((1+i) / comet_length) ** 2.4)
for i in range(comet_length)]
comet2 = [color.calculate_intensity(color.PURPLE, ((1+i) / comet_length) ** 2.4)
for i in range(comet_length)]
pos1 = 0
pos2 = 96//4
while True:
evens.paste(comet1, pos1, wrap=True, reverse=False, others=0)
pos1 = (pos1 + 1) % len(evens)
odds.paste(comet2, pos2, wrap=True, reverse=True, others=0)
pos2 = (pos2 - 1) % len(odds)
pixels.show()
m = ticks_ms()
if m % 2000 > 1000:
time.sleep(.02)
```
Because this must be treated like an in-use pin for all other purposes,
unfortunately a special case must be added in shared-bindings.
Multiple AnalogIn objects for VOLTAGE_MONITOR can be created (because
in use tracking isn't working) but this causes no harm.
Testing performed: Read the monitor, then imported wifi. When the
pin state was insufficiently restored, the second step would fail
with debug messages about do_ioctl timeout.
```
import analogio, board
a = analogio.AnalogIn(board.VOLTAGE_MONITOR)
print(a.value)
import wifi
```
