This can be used to select the output buffer behaviour of the DAC. The
default values are chosen to retain backwards compatibility with existing
behaviour.
Thanks to @peterhinch for the initial idea to add this feature.
Reading into a bytearray will truncate values to 0xff so the assertions
checking read_timed() would previously always succeed.
Thanks to @peterhinch for finding this problem and providing the solution.
A few tests still fail on PYBLITE, and that's due to differences in the
available peripheral block numbers on the different MCUs (eg I2C(2)
exists on one, but it's I2C(3) on the other).
This new function controls what happens on a hard-fault:
- debugging disabled: board will do a reset
- debugging enabled: board will print registers and stack and flash LEDs
The default is disabled, ie to do a reset. This is different to previous
behaviour which flashed the LEDs and waited indefinitely.
New keyword option in constructor and init() method is "dma=<bool>".
DMA is now disabled by default for I2C transfers because it currently does
not handle I2C bus errors very well (eg if slave device doesn't ACK or
NACK correctly during a transfer).
In non-blocking mode (timeout=0), uart.write() can now transmit all of its
data without raising an exception. uart.read() also works correctly in
this mode.
As part of this patch, timout_char now has a minimum value which is long
enough to transfer 1 character.
Addresses issue #1533.
In particular, dates prior to Mar 1, 2000 are screwed up.
The easiest way to see this is to do:
>>> import time
>>> time.localtime(0)
(2000, 1, 1, 0, 0, 0, 5, 1)
>>> time.localtime(1)
(2000, 1, 2, 233, 197, 197, 6, 2)
With this patch, we instead get:
>>> import time
>>> time.localtime(1)
(2000, 1, 1, 0, 0, 1, 5, 1)
Doh - In C % is NOT a modulo operator, it's a remainder operator.
UART object now uses a stream-like interface: read, readall, readline,
readinto, readchar, write, writechar.
Timeouts are configured when the UART object is initialised, using
timeout and timeout_char keyword args.
The object includes optional read buffering, using interrupts. You can set
the buffer size dynamically using read_buf_len keyword arg. A size of 0
disables buffering.
