Board Support Words

Defaults: Digital port pins D0 to D9 are inputs, except D6 and D8 are output for neopixel, D1 for UART Tx. D10, D11, D12, and D13 are for the SD card. You are free to use the GPIO pins for other purposes.

SPIputc      ( char )           put a single char to the SPI slave device

Using the Digital Port Pins (Input and Output)

This example is very similar to the McForth#Knight_Rider program. dport! and dport@ set and get all 16 digital pins (D0 to D15) at once. You have to press the SW1 push button til D0 is set to cancel the operation. Be aware the D0 and D1 pins are shared with the UART.

3 0 dmod   \ set D0 to Output
3 1 dmod   \ set D1 to Output
3 2 dmod   \ set D2 to Output
3 3 dmod   \ set D3 to Output
3 4 dmod   \ set D4 to Output
3 5 dmod   \ set D5 to Output
3 6 dmod   \ set D6 to Output
3 7 dmod   \ set D7 to Output

: left ( -- ) 
  7 0 do  
    dport@ shl dport!  
    100 osDelay drop  
  loop 
;

: right ( -- )
  7 0 do  
    dport@ shr dport!
    100 osDelay drop  
  loop 
;

: knightrider ( -- )
  1 dport! 
  begin 
    left right 
    switch1? \ or key?
  until 
  0 dport!
;

Single port pin variant (no side effects on port pins D8 to D15):

: left ( -- ) 
  7 0 do
    1 i dpin! 
    100 osDelay drop  
    0 i dpin!
  loop 
;

: right ( -- )
  8 1 do  
    1 8 i - dpin! 
    100 osDelay drop  
    0 8 i - dpin!
  loop 
;

: knigthrider ( -- )
  begin 
    left right 
    switch1? 
  until 
  0 0 dpin!
;

Using the ADC (Analog Input Pins)

apin@ ( a -- u ) returns the ADC value (12 bit, 0 .. 4095) from one of the analog pins A0 to A4 (0 .. 4). Here I use the A0 to control the delay.

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

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

To get an idea how fast the ADC, RTOS, and the Forth program are. The left or right word takes about 125 us, the knightrider loop about 50 us (no osDelay). Pretty fast for my opinion.

CH1 yellow: D0 pin
CH2 blue: D1 pin

Using the PWM (Analog Output Pins)

PWM port pins: D0 (TIM1CH3), D1 (TIM1CH2), A4 (TIM1CH1)

Simple test program to set brightness of a LED on pin A4 with a potentiometer on A0. Default PWM frequency is 1 kHz (prescaler set to 32). You can set the prescale with the word pwmprescale from 32 kHz (value 1) down to 0.5 Hz (64000).

5 20 dmod   \ set A4 to PWM

: pwm ( -- )
  begin 
    0 apin@  4 /  20 pwmpin!
    10 osDelay drop
    switch1? 
  until 
;

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

Output compare port pins: D13=13 (TIM2CH1), A2=18 (TIM2CH3), A3=19 (TIM1CH4)

: oc-toggle ( -- )
  5000000 ICOCperiod! \ 5 s period
  ICOCstart
  3 13 OCmod  1000000 13 OCstart \ toggle D13 after 1 s
  3 18 OCmod  2000000 18 OCstart \ toggle A2 after 2 s
  3 19 OCmod  3000000 19 OCstart \ toggle A3 after 3 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:

13 OCstop  18 OCstop  19 OCstop

Or change the prescale to make it faster or slower:

1 ICOCprescale

Input Capture

Input capture port pin: A1 (TIM2CH2)

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

EXTI port pins: D2 (PB5), D3 (PB4), D5 (PB3), D6 (PB2), D7 (PB1)

: exti-test ( -- )
  2 2 EXTImod \ both edges on D2
  begin
    2000 2 EXTIwait \ wait for edge on D2 with 2 s timeout
    cr
    0= if
      2 dpin@ if
        ." rising edge"
      else
        ." falling edge"
      then 
    else
      ." timeout"
    then
  key? until
  key drop
;

Pinout

Very similar to the Teensy 3.0 pinout.
