.. which is what the addition of cmd25 made happen. We still signal
an error when failing to reach the idle state at any other time,
which _is_ different than adafruit_sdcard but I think that it is
correct.
This fixed#5600 according to Dan's testing on a GCM4 on the internal
SD card slot. There are still some ambiguous results on the MM4 with
external SD card slot on 6" jumper wires.
this happens to make the occasional FS dither artifact disappear.
I guess `a * b >> 8` and `(a * b) / 256` are not identical. I'm not
sure if it was just the parens or not, but write the clearer code and
rely on the compiler to substitute an appropriate shift if possible.
This targets the 64-bit CPU Raspberry Pis. The BCM2711 on the Pi 4
and the BCM2837 on the Pi 3 and Zero 2W. There are 64-bit fixes
outside of the ports directory for it.
There are a couple other cleanups that were incidental:
* Use const mcu_pin_obj_t instead of omitting the const. The structs
themselves are const because they are in ROM.
* Use PTR <-> OBJ conversions in more places. They were found when
mp_obj_t was set to an integer type rather than pointer.
* Optimize submodule checkout because the Pi submodules are heavy
and unnecessary for the vast majority of builds.
Fixes#4314
This blends two "565"-format bitmaps, including byteswapped ones. All
the bitmaps have to have the same memory format.
The routine takes about 63ms on a Kaluga when operating on 320x240 bitmaps.
Of course, displaying the bitmap also takes time.
There's untested code for the L8 (8-bit greyscale) case. This can be
enabled once gifio is merged.
By having a pair of buffers, the capture hardware can fill one buffer while
Python code (including displayio, etc) operates on the other buffer. This
increases the responsiveness of camera-using code.
On the Kaluga it makes the following improvements:
* 320x240 viewfinder at 30fps instead of 15fps using directio
* 240x240 animated gif capture at 10fps instead of 7.5fps
As discussed at length on Discord, the "usual end user" code will look like
this:
camera = ...
with camera.continuous_capture(buffer1, buffer2) as capture:
for frame in capture:
# Do something with frame
However, rather than presenting a context manager, the core code consists of
three new functions to start & stop continuous capture, and to get the next
frame. The reason is twofold. First, it's simply easier to implement the
context manager object in pure Python. Second, for more advanced usage, the
context manager may be too limiting, and it's easier to iterate on the right
design in Python code. In particular, I noticed that adapting the
JPEG-capturing programs to use continuous capture mode needed a change in
program structure.
The camera app was structured as
```python
while True:
if shutter button was just pressed:
capture a jpeg frame
else:
update the viewfinder
```
However, "capture a jpeg frame" needs to (A) switch the camera settings and (B)
capture into a different, larger buffer then (C) return to the earlier
settings. This can't be done during continuous capture mode. So just
restructuring it as follows isn't going to work:
```python
with camera.continuous_capture(buffer1, buffer2) as capture:
for frame in capture:
if shutter button was just pressed:
capture a jpeg frame, without disturbing continuous capture mode
else:
update the viewfinder
```
The continuous mode is only implemented in the espressif port; others
will throw an exception if the associated methods are invoked. It's not
impossible to implement there, just not a priority, since these micros don't
have enough RAM for two framebuffer copies at any resonable sizes.
The capture code, including single-shot capture, now take mp_obj_t in the
common-hal layer, instead of a buffer & length. This was done for the
continuous capture mode because it has to identify & return to the user the
proper Python object representing the original buffer. In the Espressif port,
it was convenient to implement single capture in terms of a multi-capture,
which is why I changed the singleshot routine's signature too.
The easiest thing to implement was to use the i/j numbers, but they were not
directly related to image x/y coordinates. This may slow things down a tiny
little bit, but it looks much better.
* Increase colorspace conversion efficiency.
This not only avoids a function call, it avoids the time-consuming
switch statement in conver_pixel (replacing it with a single
conditional on the byteswap flag + accounting for BGR/RGB during
palette creation)
* Buffer all the bytes of a single frame together. By reducing
low level write calls we get a decent speed increase even though
it increases data-shuffling a bit.
Together with some other changes that enable "double buffered" camera
capture, this gets me to 8.8fps capturing QVGA (320x240) gifs and
11fps capturing 240x240 square gifs.
This involves:
* Adding a new "L8" colorspace for colorconverters
* factoring out displayio_colorconverter_convert_pixel
* Making a minimal "colorspace only" version of displayio for the
unix port (testing purposes)
* fixing an error message
I only tested writing B&W animated images, with the following script:
```python
import displayio
import gifio
with gifio.GifWriter("foo.gif", 64, 64, displayio.Colorspace.L8) as g:
for i in range(0, 256, 14):
data = bytes([i, 255-i] * 32 + [255-i, i] * 32) * 32
print("add_frame")
g.add_frame(data)
# expected to raise an error, buffer is not big enough
with gifio.GifWriter("/dev/null", 64, 64, displayio.Colorspace.L8) as g:
g.add_frame(bytes([3,3,3]))
```
This increases write rates (of gifio from #5490) from about 2.4fps to over
5fps by making more efficient use of the SD card protocol.
Because of details of oofatfs, it usually manages 64 writes in a single
CMD25, then two writes in a different area of the SD card (presumably,
filesystem metadata). I couldn't find where to increase "64" to a higher
number. This may depend on the allocation size of the filesystem.
I tried preallocating too, but oddly it significantly lowered the write
rate.
Any trailing data is committed when the file is close()d, or when
the `sync` method of the SDCard object is called.
At present, Adafruit's rotary encoders all move 1 quadrature cycle per
detent, so we originally hard-coded division-by-4. However, other
encoders exist, including ones without detents, ones with 2 detents per
cycle, and others with 4 detents per cycle.
The new `divisor` property and constructor argument allows selecting
a divisor of 1, 2, or 4; with the default of 4 giving backward
compatibility.
The property is not supported (yet?) on espressif MCUs; it throws an
error if a value other than 4 is set.
F-strings, new machine.I2S class, ESP32-C3 support and LEGO_HUB_NO6 board
This release of MicroPython adds support for f-strings (PEP-498), with a
few limitations compared to normal Python. F-strings are essentially
syntactic sugar for "".format() and make formatting strings a lot more
convenient. Other improvements to the core runtime include pretty printing
OSError when it has two arguments (an errno code and a string), scheduling
of KeyboardInterrupt on the main thread, and support for a single argument
to the optimised form of StopIteration.
In the machine module a new I2S class has been added, with support for
esp32 and stm32 ports. This provides a consistent API for transmit and
receive of audio data in blocking, non-blocking and asyncio-based
operation. Also, the json module has support for the "separators" argument
in the dump and dumps functions, and framebuf now includes a way to blit
between frame buffers of different formats using a palette. A new,
portable machine.bitstream function is also added which can output a stream
of bits with configurable timing, and is used as the basis for driving
WS2812 LEDs in a common way across ports.
There has been some restructuring of the repository directory layout, with
all third-party code now in the lib/ directory. And a new top-level
directory shared/ has been added with first-party code that was previously
in lib/ moved there.
The docs have seen further improvement with enhancements and additions to
the rp2 parts, as well as a new quick reference for the zephyr port.
The terms master/slave have been replaced with controller/peripheral,
mainly relating to I2C and SPI usage. And u-module references have been
replaced with just the module name without the u-prefix to help clear up
the intended usage of modules in MicroPython.
For the esp8266 and esp32 ports, hidden networks are now included in WLAN
scan results. On the esp32 the RMT class is enhanced with idle_level and
write_pulses modes. There is initial support for ESP32-C3 chips with
GENERIC_C3 and GENERIC_C3_USB boards.
The javascript port has had its Makefile and garbage collector
implementation reworked so it compiles and runs with latest the Emscripten
using asyncify.
The mimxrt port sees the addition of hardware I2C and SPI support, as well
as some additional methods to the machine module. There is also support
for Hyperflash chips.
The nrf port now has full VFS storage support, enables source-line on
traceback, and has .mpy features consistent with other ports.
For the rp2 port there is now more configurability for boards, and more
boards added.
The stm32 port has a new LEGO_HUB_NO6 board definition with detailed
information how to get this LEGO Hub running stock MicroPython. There is
also now support to change the CPU frequency on STM32WB MCUs. And USBD_xxx
descriptor options have been renamed to MICROPY_HW_USB_xxx.

Fixes build error:
```
In file included from ../../py/mpstate.h:33,

```
Sleuthing steps:
* verify that the feather_stm32f4_express board builds correctly
* put a `#error` at the bottom of the `mpstate.c` file.
* build for the feather and swan boards, with V=2 to capture the build command for that file.
* use a differencing tool to inspect the differences between the two invocations
* inspecting the differences, I saw a missing `-mcpu=cortex-m4` I tested by adding that to the Swan build command. The file built fine (stopping at the hard error, but no other warnings.)
A grep through the sources revealed where this flag was being set for the stm ports.
With this commit, the build gets further, but does not complete. The next exciting episode in this unfolding coding saga is just a commit away!
working build with minimal set of modules for the Blues Swan r5
chore:change header copyright name to Blues Wireless Contributors
USB operational. Fixed up clocks to be hardwired for LSE no HSE case. (Trying to combine HSE in there made the code much more complex, and I don't have a board to test it out on.)
USART working
adds support for `ENABLE_3V3` and `DISCHARGE_3V3` pins. I am surprised that pin definitions are quite low-level and don't include default direction and state, so the code currently has to initialize `ENABLE_3V3` pin as output. The LED takes over a second to discharge, so I wonder if the board startup code is not having the desired affect.

remove company name from board name to be consistent with the Arduino board definition.
add default pins for I2C, SPI and UART, so that `board.I2C` et al. works as expected. Confirmed I2C timing.
fix board name
fix incorrect pin definition. add test to allow manual check of each output pin
analog IO
code changes for WebUSB. Doesn't appear to work, will revisit later.
ensure that `sys.platform` is available
checkin missing file
feat: make room for a larger filesystem so the sensor tutorial will fit on the device.
fix:(stm32l4r5zi.csv): merged AF0-7 and AF8-15 into single lines and removed extraneous headers mixed in with the data.
fix(parse_af_csv.py): pin index in the csv is 0 not 1, and AF index made 1 larger
chore(Swan R5): update peripherals pins from `parse_af_csv.py` output
optimize flash sector access
* Reduce the number of supported HID reports of IDs per descriptor.
This saves ~200 bytes in the default HID objects.
* (Not enabled) Compute QSTR attrs on init. This trades 1k RAM for
flash. Flash is the default (1).
The default KEYBOARD report descriptor had a signed/unsigned error,
and also could have allowed more keycodes. So I changed it, using the
very vanilla descriptor from a very plain extremely common commercial
keyboard, modifying it only have 5 LED's instead of 3, and added a
report ID.
* The new nonstandard '%S' format takes a pointer to compressed_string_t
and prints it
* The new mp_cprintf and mp_vcprintf take a format string that is a
compressed_string_t
* fix absolute_transform dirtying early instead of after the change, missing the draw
* fix transpose and mirror. (0,0) -> location in all vector shapes now in all rotations.
now works with all vector shapes, even those with internal reference locations
that are negative. All shape locations are anchored to their 0,0 but they can
display pixels from negative coordinates if the shape's location on the screen
would have room for it.
* add heuristic to avoid drawing area unnecessarily
* fix Polygon.points
* fix transpose
* fix mirror x and y
Known broken:
Polygon with negative Y coordinates does not work right.
* Removes VectorShape from user python interactions
* Re-integrates vectorio with displayio behind draw protocol implementations
* Implements draw protocol with VectorShape
* Composes VectorShape behaviors into Rectangle, Circle and Polygon
* Fixes terrible pixel garbage being left behind
* Improves redraw performance (heuristically) by tracking dirty area separately from current area.
Known Issues:
It does not work with transposed views.
Call `supervisor.disable_ble_workflow()` and the BLE workflow will
be disabled until the chip is reset.
This also includes a couple fixes:
1. Terminals can now be deinit by setting the tilegrid to NULL. This
prevents using the tilegrid before display is init.
2. Fix BLE serial send amount when sending more than a single packet.
Fixes#5049
This is a breaking change with previous palette semantic with respect to python code that uses vectorio.
Displayio has breaking changes in cpy 7 for Group's removal of max_size parameter so this is as good a
time as any to break everything.
Currently:
To color vectorio shapes correctly you have to pass in a palette with length 2. Palette[0] must be set transparent and palette[1] must be the color you want.
New:
To color vectorio shapes correctly you pass in a palette with length >= 1. Palette[0] will be the color of the shape.
Also improves pixels per second when skipping areas that aren't covered by the shape.
Before, when an OnDiskBitmap was a paletted bitmap type, the palette
was internal to the OnDiskBitmap, and it internally performed the palette
conversion itself. When using with a tilegrid, a ColorConverter() object
always had to be passed.
Now, an OnDiskBitmap has a "pixel_shader" property. If the bitmap is
a paletted bitmap type, it is a (modifiable) Palette object. Otherwise,
it is a ColorConverter() object as before. This allows palette effects
to be applied to paletted OnDiskBitmaps.
Code that used to say:
```python
face = displayio.TileGrid(odb, pixel_shader=displayio.ColorConverter())
```
must be updated to say:
```python
face = displayio.TileGrid(odb, pixel_shader=odb.pixel_shader)
```
Compatible code for 6.x and 7.x can say
```python
face = displayio.TileGrid(odb, pixel_shader=getattr(odb, 'pixel_shader', ColorConverter())
```
We can't handle rgbmatrix's interrupts from here until the display is
reinitialized, so set the display as paused.
With this change, I can survive multiple cycles with wifi+rgbmatrix
on an esp32s2. Before, it usually failed.
This also removes the need to pin share because we don't use the
status LED while user code is running.
The status flashes fallback to the HW_STATUS LED if no RGB LED is
present. Each status has a unique blink pattern as well.
One caveat is the REPL state. In order to not pin share, we set the
RGB color once. PWM and single color will be shutoff immediately but
DotStars and NeoPixels will hold the color until the user overrides
it.
Fixes#4133
Unify USB-related makefile var and C def as CIRCUITPY_USB.
Always define it as 0 or 1, same as all other settings.
USB_AVAILABLE was conditionally defined in supervisor.mk,
but never actually used to #ifdef USB-related code.
Loosely related to #4546
It is required to call .dirty() with appropriate arguments after modifications through the buffer protocol, or the display might not be updated correctly.
This is a modest code savings, but more importantly it reduces
boilerplate in bitmap-modifying routines.
Callers need only ensure they call displayio_bitmap_set_dirty_area in
advance of the bitmap modifications they perform.
(note that this assumes that no bitmap operation can enter background
tasks. If an operation COULD enter background tasks, it MUST re-dirty
the area it touches when it exits, simply by a fresh call to
set_dirty_area with the same area as before)
.. simplifying code in the process. For instance, now fill_region
uses area routines to order and constrain its coordinates.
Happily, this change also frees a modest amount of code space.
.. and simplify the implmentation of displayio_area_union
This _slightly_ changes the behavior of displayio_area_union:
Formerly, if one of the areas was empty, its coordinates were still
used in the min/max calculations.
Now, if one of the areas is empty, the result gets the other area's coords
In particular, taking the union of the empty area with coords (0,0,0,0)
with the non-empty area (x1,y1,x2,y2) would give the area (0,0,x2,y2)
before, and (x1,y1,x2,y2) after the change.
When reading uncompressed bitmap data directly, readinto can work
much more quickly than a Python-coded loop.
On a Raspberry Pi Pico, I benchmarked a modified version of
adafruit_bitmap_font's pcf reader which uses readinto instead of
the existing code. My test font was a 72-point file created from Arial.
This decreased the time to load all the ASCII glyphs from 4.9 seconds to
just 0.44 seconds.
While this attempts to support many pixel configurations (1/2/4/8/16/24/32
bpp; swapped words and pixels) only the single combination used by
PCF fonts was tested.
This is a first go at it, done by naive replacing of all array
operations with corresponding operations on the list. Note that
there is a lot of unnecessary type conversions, here. Also, list_pop
has been copied, because it's decalerd STATIC in py/objlist.h
Since we want to expose the list of group's children to the user,
we should only have the original objects in it, without any other
additional data, and compute the native object as needed.
* Comment on the reason for scaling by 256
* Divide by 256 instead of shifting
* fix a cast; eliminate an unneeded roundf() to get a few bytes code back
On the Pico, this increases the "fill rate" of
pixels[:] = newvalues
considerably. On a strip of 240 RGB LEDs, auto_write=False, the timings
are:
|| Brightness || Before || After || Improvement ||
|| 1.0 || 117 kpix/s || 307 kpix/s || 2.62x ||
|| 0.07 || 117 kpix/s || 273 kpix/s || 2.33x ||
It's worth noting that even the "before" rate is fast compared to the
time to transmit a single neopixel, but any time we can gain back
in the whole pipeline will let marginal animations work a little better.
To set all the pixels in this way and then show() gives a pleasant bump
to the framerate, from about 108Hz to 124Hz (1.15x)
The main source of speed-up is using integer math instead of floating
point math for the calculation of the post-scaled pixel values. A slight
secondary gain is achieved by avoiding the scaling altogether when
the scale factor is 1.0.
Because the math is not exactly the same, some scaled pixel values may
change by +- 1 RGBW "step". In practice, this is unlikely to matter.
The gains are bigger on the Pico and other M0 microcontrollers than M4
microcontrollers with floating point math in the hardware.
Happily, flash size is also improved a bit on the Pico build I did,
going from
> 542552 bytes used, 506024 bytes free in flash firmware space out of 1048576 bytes (1024.0kB).
to
> 542376 bytes used, 506200 bytes free in flash firmware space out of 1048576 bytes (1024.0kB).
Also found a race condition between timer_disable and redraw, which
would happen if I debugger-paused inside common_hal_rgbmatrix_timer_disable
or put a delay or print inside it. That's what pausing inside reconstruct
fixes.
So that the "right timer" can be chosen, `timer_allocate` now gets the `self`
pointer. It's guaranteed at this point that the pin information is accurate,
so you can e.g., find a PWM unit related to the pins themselves.
This required touching each port to add the parameter even though it's
unused everywhere but raspberrypi.
* Introduce explicit serpentine: bool argument instead of using negative
numbers (thanks, ghost of @tannewt sitting on one shoulder)
* Fix several calculations of height
Testing performed (matrixportal):
* set up a serpentine 64x64 virtual display with 2 64x32 tiles
* tried all 4 rotations
* looked at output of REPL
Changed calls: PointSize(), LineWidth(), VertexTranslateX() and VertexTranslateY()
Units for all the above are now pixels, not fixed-point integers. This matches OpenGL.
Docstrings updated accordingly
