class StateMachine -- access to the RP2040's programmable I/O interface
=======================================================================
The :class:`StateMachine` class gives access to the RP2040's PIO (programmable
I/O) interface.
For assembling PIO programs, see :func:`rp2.asm_pio`.
Constructors
------------
.. class:: StateMachine(id, [program, ...])
Get the state machine numbered *id*. The RP2040 has two identical PIO
instances, each with 4 state machines: so there are 8 state machines in
total, numbered 0 to 7.
Optionally initialize it with the given program *program*: see
`StateMachine.init`.
Methods
-------
.. method:: StateMachine.init(program, freq=-1, *, in_base=None, out_base=None, set_base=None, jmp_pin=None, sideset_base=None, in_shiftdir=None, out_shiftdir=None, push_thresh=None, pull_thresh=None)
Configure the state machine instance to run the given *program*.
The program is added to the instruction memory of this PIO instance. If the
instruction memory already contains this program, then its offset is
re-used so as to save on instruction memory.
- *freq* is the frequency in Hz to run the state machine at. Defaults to
the system clock frequency.
The clock divider is computed as ``system clock frequency / freq``, so
there can be slight rounding errors.
The minimum possible clock divider is one 65536th of the system clock: so
at the default system clock frequency of 125MHz, the minimum value of
*freq* is ``1908``. To run state machines at slower frequencies, you'll
need to reduce the system clock speed with `machine.freq()`.
- *in_base* is the first pin to use for ``in()`` instructions.
- *out_base* is the first pin to use for ``out()`` instructions.
- *set_base* is the first pin to use for ``set()`` instructions.
- *jmp_pin* is the first pin to use for ``jmp(pin, ...)`` instructions.
- *sideset_base* is the first pin to use for side-setting.
- *in_shiftdir* is the direction the ISR will shift, either
`PIO.SHIFT_LEFT` or `PIO.SHIFT_RIGHT`.
- *out_shiftdir* is the direction the OSR will shift, either
`PIO.SHIFT_LEFT` or `PIO.SHIFT_RIGHT`.
- *push_thresh* is the threshold in bits before auto-push or conditional
re-pushing is triggered.
- *pull_thresh* is the threshold in bits before auto-pull or conditional
re-pulling is triggered.
.. method:: StateMachine.active([value])
Gets or sets whether the state machine is currently running.
>>> sm.active()
True
>>> sm.active(0)
False
.. method:: StateMachine.restart()
Restarts the state machine and jumps to the beginning of the program.
This method clears the state machine's internal state using the RP2040's
``SM_RESTART`` register. This includes:
- input and output shift counters
- the contents of the input shift register
- the delay counter
- the waiting-on-IRQ state
- a stalled instruction run using `StateMachine.exec()`
.. method:: StateMachine.exec(instr)
Execute a single PIO instruction.
If *instr* is a string then uses `asm_pio_encode` to encode the instruction
from the given string.
>>> sm.exec("set(0, 1)")
If *instr* is an integer then it is treated as an already encoded PIO
machine code instruction to be executed.
>>> sm.exec(rp2.asm_pio_encode("out(y, 8)", 0))
.. method:: StateMachine.get(buf=None, shift=0)
Pull a word from the state machine's RX FIFO.
If the FIFO is empty, it blocks until data arrives (i.e. the state machine
pushes a word).
The value is shifted right by *shift* bits before returning, i.e. the
return value is ``word >> shift``.
.. method:: StateMachine.put(value, shift=0)
Push words onto the state machine's TX FIFO.
*value* can be an integer, an array of type ``B``, ``H`` or ``I``, or a
`bytearray`.
This method will block until all words have been written to the FIFO. If
the FIFO is, or becomes, full, the method will block until the state machine
pulls enough words to complete the write.
Each word is first shifted left by *shift* bits, i.e. the state machine
receives ``word << shift``.
.. method:: StateMachine.rx_fifo()
Returns the number of words in the state machine's RX FIFO. A value of 0
indicates the FIFO is empty.
Useful for checking if data is waiting to be read, before calling
`StateMachine.get()`.
.. method:: StateMachine.tx_fifo()
Returns the number of words in the state machine's TX FIFO. A value of 0
indicates the FIFO is empty.
Useful for checking if there is space to push another word using
`StateMachine.put()`.
.. method:: StateMachine.irq(handler=None, trigger=0|1, hard=False)
Returns the IRQ object for the given StateMachine.
Optionally configure it.
