As I mentioned in issue #6310 while investigating that the Teensy port
did not support RS485_dir pin on normal GPIO pins, I found that it
was not implemented either as well on some other ports.
So was curious to implement it for RP2040 using same approach as I did
for the MIMXRT in the Pull Request #6328
That is I setup the specified pin as a normal GPIO pin in output mode
and then when you do a write operation it sets the GPIO pin logically
high, and when the write completes I set it logically low.
Note: knowing when I can set it low can be tricky, as you need to make
sure the full output has completed otherwise the data will be corrupted.
I am using: uart_tx_wait_blocking(self->uart);
Which looks like it is supposed to wait until the busy status is no
longer set, which the Reference manual mentioned, but this is leaving
the line logically set longer than I would like.
however I have tried running it with my hacked up version of the
Python Robotis DynamixelSDK and was able to talk to some AX servos.
I did have to change the library slightly for the RP2040, as the
library was erroring out when you did something like uart.read(5)
and it timed out without receiving anything. The RP2040 returned
None whereas I think the Teensy returned an empty set, which is what
it looks like the PySerial original code expects.
Not sure if anyone is interested in this, but thought i would
put it out as PR and see.
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 allows you to list and explore connected USB devices. It
only stubs out the methods to communicate to endpoints. That will
come in a follow up once TinyUSB has it. (It's in progress.)
Related to #5986
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.
This tweaks the RMT timing to better match the 1/3 and 2/3 of 800khz
guideline for timing. It also ensures a delay of 300 microseconds
with the line low before reset.
Pin reset is now changed to the IDF default which pulls the pin up
rather than CircuitPython's old behavior of floating the pin.
Fixes#5679
The port is free to return NULL for any/all of these, and the caller has
to check.
This will be used in the floppy code, because aside from getting the
registers, it looks like all is independent of MCU.
This brings the pins in line with the documented [pinouts]. The only
"special" pins:
- GP0, GP1 are mentioned as the default UART, so we init them as
such and give them the TX and RX alternative names.
- GP16 is connected to the onboard neopixel DIN line and we assign it
the NEOPIXEL name. (Power of the neopixel is connected to the 3.3V
rail, not a pin. See [schematic].)
- GP26, GP27, GP28, GP29 have unambiguous ADC designations in the
[pinouts], so we assign the `A` analogue names as the Pico board
definition does.
[pinouts]: https://www.waveshare.com/wiki/RP2040-Zero#Pinouts
[schematic]: https://www.waveshare.com/w/upload/4/4c/RP2040_Zero.pdf
If, for some reason, you mix up TX and RX when calling `busio.UART` (who would do that ;) ), you get `Invalid pins`. When you go to try again, you'll get `All UART peripherals are in use` because the interface was claimed as busy before pins are verified. This should fix that issue.
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
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.
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.

I noticed that the loop over 65535 possible denominators took a long time,
causing up to 100ms wait for a sound sample to start playing!
This algorithm, adapted from an algorithm shown in Python's fractions.py,
is guaranteed to find the best denominator in a small number of steps
(I think log2-many steps but I'm not sure). In practice, it means the time
between samples playing is just 10ms, and some of that is recreating the
sine wave sample in Python each time.
It often finds the same solution as the old code, but sometimes it finds
one a bit better since it compares the ratios using float point instead
of integer arithmetic.
There is a race between when we run background tasks and when we
sleep. If an interrupt happens between the two, then we may delay
executing the background task. On some ports we checked this for
TinyUSB already. On iMX RT, we didn't which caused USB issues.
This PR makes it more generic for all background tasks including
USB.
Fixes#5086 and maybe others.
RP2040 and SAMD51:
- Detect when DMA has finished, and stop DMA audio explicitly.
- Do not accidentally reuse `first_buffer` supplied by WaveFile or RawSample. Always realloc `first_buffer` and `second_buffer`
RP2040:
- When audio playing is stopped, write a final zero to the output register. This prevents residual PWM tones.
- Handle buffer size for 8-bit samples properly for 16-bit output.
- Fail on some edge cases (which may not be possible at the moment).
Passing in a PWMOut still works but is deprecated. It will be
removed in CircuitPython 8.0.0
This also switches STM32 timer indices and channel indices to
0-based in our pin data rather than `- 1` everywhere. The latter is
more bug prone.
Most of the way for #3264
Tested on Metro M0, Metro M4, Feather S2, Feather nRF52840, Feather
STM32F4 and Arduino RP2040.
For RP2040 boards, we now change the default flash size based on
the configured flash. We will still try to read the size from the
flash first.
Fixes#4874
1. Check for correct error values from dma_claim_unused_channel.
2. Introduce a .stereo flag for simplicity.
3. Clarify PWM carrier frequency choice.
4. Start introducing quiescent audio value. Still need to ramp up/down.
5. Redo audio stop logic a bit.
6. Fix (unrelated) displayio dependency things.
There is still an interference problem between other DMA users and audio. Still debugging this.
Re-commiting to fix local GitHub config issues. Adding CircuitPython support for the Arduino Nano RP2040 Connect. Have tested all digital and analog I/O, I2C, onboard LSM6DSOX. Uses the AT25SF128A external flash.
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
In #4683, tannewt noticed that uncrustify was not running on some
file in common-hal.
I investigated and found that it was not being run on a bunch of paths.
Rather than make incremental changes, I rewrote list_files to work
bsaed on regular expressions; these regular expressions are created from
the same git-style glob patterns.
I spot-checked some specific filenames after this change, and all looks good:
```
$ python3 tools/codeformat.py -v --dry-run tests/basics/int_small.py ports/raspberrypi/common-hal/pulseio/PulseIn.c extmod/virtpin.c tests/thread/thread_exit1.py ports/raspberrypi/background.h extmod/re1.5/recursiveloop.c
tools/codeformat.py -v --dry-run tests/basics/int_small.py ports/raspberrypi/common-hal/pulseio/PulseIn.c extmod/virtpin.c tests/thread/thread_exit1.py ports/raspberrypi/background.h extmod/re1.5/recursiveloop.c
uncrustify -c /home/jepler/src/circuitpython/tools/uncrustify.cfg -lC --no-backup extmod/virtpin.c ports/raspberrypi/background.h ports/raspberrypi/common-hal/pulseio/PulseIn.c
black --fast --line-length=99 -v tests/thread/thread_exit1.py
```
recursiveloop and int_small are excluded, while PulseIn, virtpin,
and background are included.
Testing running from a subdirectory (not _specifically_ supported though):
```
(cd ports && python3 ../tools/codeformat.py -v --dry-run raspberrypi/common-hal/pulseio/PulseIn.c ../extmod/virtpin.c)
../tools/codeformat.py -v --dry-run raspberrypi/common-hal/pulseio/PulseIn.c ../extmod/virtpin.c
uncrustify -c /home/jepler/src/circuitpython/tools/uncrustify.cfg -lC --no-backup ../extmod/virtpin.c raspberrypi/common-hal/pulseio/PulseIn.
```
As a side-effect, a bunch more files are re-formatted now. :-P
This fixes some missing and incorrectly-assigned pins for the SparkFun Thing Plus RP2040 protoboard so that they actually match what the board says. This also changes the default SPI pins from the SD card pins to the breakout pins on the side of the board.
