Using the ADC (Analog Input Pins)

Control the Neopixel

apin@ ( a -- u ) returns the ADC value (12 bit, 0 .. 4095) from one of the analog pins A0 to A5 (0 .. 5). Here I use the A0 to control the neopixel blue led brightness.

: neo-blue ( -- ) 
  begin
    0 apin@ 16 /  neopixel! 
    10 osDelay drop
  key? until 
  key drop
;

Control the Knightrider Pace

apin@ ( a -- u ) returns the ADC value (12 bit, 0 .. 4095) from one of the analog pins A0 to A5 (0 .. 5). Here I use the A0 to control the delay.

: left ( -- ) 
  7 0 do
    1 i pin dpin! 
    0 apin@ 10 / osDelay drop  \ delay depends on A0
    0 i pin dpin!
  loop

  8 1 do  
    1 8 i - pin dpin! 
    0 apin@ 10 / osDelay drop  \ delay depends on A0
    0 8 i - pin dpin!
  loop 
;

Using the PWM (Analog Output Pins)

Six port pins are supported so far. The 16 bit timers TIM3 (D5 and D6) and TIM4 (D9, D10, D14, and D15) are used for the timebase, time resolution is 1 us (42 MHz SysClk divided by 42). The PWM scale is from 0 (0 % duty cycle) to 1000 (100 % duty cycle), this results in a PWM frequency of 1 kHz. If you need higher PWM frequencies, decrease the divider and/or the scale.

PWM port pins: D5 (TIM3CH2), D6 (TIM3CH1), D9 (TIM4CH3), D10 (TIM4CH4), D14 (TIM4CH2), and D15 (TIM4CH1).

Simple test program to set brightness of a LED on pin D6 with a potentiometer on A0. Default PWM frequency is 1 kHz (prescaler set to 42). You can set the prescale with the word pwmprescale from 42 kHz (value 1) down to 0.5 Hz (64000).

5 6 dmod   \ set D6 to PWM

: pwm ( -- )
  begin 
    0 apin@  4 /  6 pwmpin!
    10 osDelay drop
    key? 
  until
  key drop

Control an RC Servo

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Servo_(radio_control): The control signal is a digital PWM signal with a 50 Hz frame rate. Within each 20 ms timeframe, an active-high digital pulse controls the position. The pulse nominally ranges from 1.0 ms to 2.0 ms with 1.5 ms always being center of range. Pulse widths outside this range can be used for "overtravel" - moving the servo beyond its normal range.

A servo pulse of 1.5 ms width will typically set the servo to its "neutral" position (typically half of the specified full range), a pulse of 1.0 ms will set it to 0°, and a pulse of 2.0 ms to 90° (for a 90° servo). The physical limits and timings of the servo hardware varies between brands and models, but a general servo's full angular motion will travel somewhere in the range of 90° – 180° and the neutral position (45° or 90°) is almost always at 1.5 ms. This is the "standard pulse servo mode" used by all hobby analog servos.

The BSPs default PWM frequency is 1 kHz, 50 Hz is 20 times slower. The divider is therefore 42 * 20 = 840.

840 pwmprescale 
5 5 dmod   \ set D5 to PWM

: servo ( -- ) 
  begin
    130 40 do
      i 5 pwmpin! 
      i neopixel! 
      i 40 = if 
        1000 \ give some more time to get back
      else
        200
      then 
      osDelay drop
    10 +loop
  key? until 
  key drop
;

Using Input Capture and Output Compare

Time Base

Default timer resolution is 1 us. The 32 bit TIMER2 is used as time base for Input Capture / Output Compare. For a 5 s period 5'000'000 cycles are needed. All channels (input capture / output compare) use the same time base.

: period ( -- )
  5000000 ICOCperiod! \ 5 s period
  ICOCstart
  begin
     waitperiod
     cr .time
  key? until
  key drop 
;

Output Compare

7 0 dmod  \ output compare for D0
7 1 dmod  \ output compare for D1

: oc-toggle ( -- )
  5000000 ICOCperiod! \ 5 s period
  ICOCstart
  3 0 OCmod  1000000 0 OCstart \ toggle D0 after 1 s
  3 1 OCmod  2000000 1 OCstart \ toggle D1 after 2 s
  begin
     waitperiod
     cr .time
  key? until
  key drop 
;

When you abort (hit any key) the program, the timer still runs and controls the port pins. To stop the port pins:

0 OCstop  1 OCstop  

Or change the prescale to make it faster or slower:

1 ICOCprescale

Input Capture

This sample program measures the time between the edges on port A1. if no event occurs within 2 seconds, "timeout" is issued. Hit any key to abort program.

: ic-test ( -- )
  6 17 dmod \ input capture on A1
  ICOCstart
  2 ICstart  \ both edges
  ICOCcount@ ( -- count )
  begin
    2000 \ 2 s timeout
    ICwait ( -- old-capture capture ) 
    cr
    dup 0= if
      ." timeout" drop
    else 
      dup rot ( -- capture capture old-capture )
      - 1000 / . ." ms"
    then
  key? until
  key drop
  drop
  ICstop
;

Using EXTI line

D11, D12, and D13 can be used as an EXTI line. EXTIs are external interrupt lines, D13 uses EXTI1 (EXTI Line1 interrupt), D12 EXIT2, and D11 EXTI3.

: exti-test ( -- )
  2 11 EXTImod \ both edges on D11
  begin
    2000 11 EXTIwait \ wait for edge on D11 with 2 s timeout
    cr
    0= if
      11 dpin@ if
        ." rising edge"
      else
        ." falling edge"
      then 
    else
      ." timeout"
    then
  key? until
  key drop
