Now a 'once' and a 'loop' buffer can be specified.
'once' is useful for things like writing a neopixel strip in the background,
if you can guarantee the buffer contents are stable until the write is complete.
'loop' is useful for periodic things, like pwm & servos.
both together are useful for some special cases of pwm/servo, where a
transitional waveform needs to be played for one repetition and then
a new waveform needs to be played after that.
The API is renamed to reflect that it's a more generic 'background'
operation.
This is needed so that the floppy flux reader can enable the pull up
on the index pin while using it as a pio jmp pin.
Also fixes a doc bug where the `jmp_pin` was omitted in one spot in the docs.
Any two consecutive pins can be used for an IncrementalEncoder
Testing performed: Put a synthesized (few hundred counts per second) quadrature signal into GP2/3 and read the encoder out. Performed filesystem operations at the same time to stress test it.
The reasons for not using common_hal_rp2pio_statemachine_readinto are commented on.
This adds I2SOut and PDMIn support via PIO.
StateMachines can now:
* read and read while writing
* transfer in 1, 2 or 4 byte increments
* init pins based on expected defaults automatically
* be stopped and restarted
* rxfifo can be cleared and rxstalls detected (good for tracking when
the reading code isn't keeping up)
Fixes#4162
The RP2040 is new microcontroller from Raspberry Pi that features
two Cortex M0s and eight PIO state machines that are good for
crunching lots of data. It has 264k RAM and a built in UF2
bootloader too.
