Currently rp2.StateMachine.exec(instr_in) requires that the instr_in
parameter be a string representing the PIO assembly language instruction
to be encoded by rp2.asm_pio_encode(). This commit allows the parameter
to also be of integral type. This is useful if the exec() method is
being called often where the use of pre-encoded machine code is
desireable.
This commit still supports calls like:
sm.exec("set(0, 1)")
It also now supports calls like:
# Performed once earlier, maybe in __init__()
assembled_instr = rp2.asm_pio_encode("out(y, 8)", 0)
# Performed multiple times later as the PIO state machine is
# configured for its next run.
sm.exec(assembled_instr)
The existing examples/rp2/pio_exec.py and examples/rp2/pio_pwm.py that
exercise the rp2.StateMachine.exec() method still work with this change.

MicroPython Documentation
The MicroPython documentation can be found at: http://docs.micropython.org/en/latest/
The documentation you see there is generated from the files in the docs tree: https://github.com/micropython/micropython/tree/master/docs
Building the documentation locally
If you're making changes to the documentation, you may want to build the documentation locally so that you can preview your changes.
Install Sphinx, and optionally (for the RTD-styling), sphinx_rtd_theme, preferably in a virtualenv:
pip install sphinx
pip install sphinx_rtd_theme
In micropython/docs, build the docs:
make html
You'll find the index page at micropython/docs/build/html/index.html.
Having readthedocs.org build the documentation
If you would like to have docs for forks/branches hosted on GitHub, GitLab or BitBucket an alternative to building the docs locally is to sign up for a free https://readthedocs.org account. The rough steps to follow are:
- sign-up for an account, unless you already have one
- in your account settings: add GitHub as a connected service (assuming you have forked this repo on github)
- in your account projects: import your forked/cloned micropython repository into readthedocs
- in the project's versions: add the branches you are developing on or for which you'd like readthedocs to auto-generate docs whenever you push a change
PDF manual generation
This can be achieved with:
make latexpdf
but requires a rather complete install of LaTeX with various extensions. On Debian/Ubuntu, try (1GB+ download):
apt install texlive-latex-recommended texlive-latex-extra texlive-xetex texlive-fonts-extra cm-super xindy
