Board Support Package for the Nucleo STM32WB Board
Intro
The board support package for the STM32WB Nucleo Board is restricted to the Arduino UNO R3 pin header and the onboard LEDs and switches (buttons). The STM32 has much more capabilities then 14 digital I/O pins, 6 analog input pins, UART, SPI, and I2C interfaces. But if you want to use the more advanced features you can use the CubeMX to create source code for the internal peripherals. This project wants to show how to use the Cube Ecosystem for a Forth system (or vice versa) and can't implement all features and possibilities the STM32WB has. It is a good starting point for your project.

Board Support Words

Defaults: Digital port pins D0 to D7 are push pull outputs, D8 to D15 are inputs with pull-up resistors.

led1!        ( n -- )    sets LED1 (blue)
led2!        ( n -- )    sets LED2 (green)
led3!        ( n -- )    sets LED3 (red)
led1@        ( -- n )    gets LED1 (blue)
led2@        ( -- n )    gets LED2 (green)
led3@        ( -- n )    gets LED3 (red)

switch1?     ( -- n )    gets switch1, closed=TRUE

dmod         ( u a -- )  sets the pin mode: 0 in, 1 in pull-up, 2 in pull-down, 3 out push pull, 4 out open drain, 
                                            5 out push pull PWM, 6 input capture, 7 output compare, 8 I2C

pwmpin!      ( u a -- )  sets the digital output port pin a (D3=3, D6=6, D9=9) to a PWM value u (0..1000). Default frequency is 1 kHz, TIMER1
pwmprescale  ( u --  )   Sets the PWM prescale for TIMER1. 32 kHz / prescale, default 32 -> PWM frequency 1 kHz

ICOCperiod!  ( u -- )    Sets the input capture / output compare (TIMER2) period. default $FFFFFFFF (4'294'967'295). 
                         When the up counter reaches the period, the counter is set to 0. 
                         For prescale 32 the maximum time is about 1 h 11 m

ICwait       ( u -- u )  wait for the end of input capture with timeout u, returns counter u

apin@        ( a -- u )  gets the analog input port pin (A0 .. A5). Returns a 12 bit value (0..4095) 

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.

3 0 dmod   \ set D0 to Output
3 1 dmod   \ set D1 to Output
3 3 dmod   \ set D3 to Output
3 5 dmod   \ set D5 to Output
3 6 dmod   \ set D6 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 A5 (0 .. 5). 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.

Using the PWM (Analog Output Pins)

Only three port pins are supported so far. The 16 bit TIMER1 is used for the timebase, time resolution is 1 us (32 MHz SysClk divided by 32). 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: D6 (TIM1CH1), D9 (TIM1CH2), D3 (TIM1CH3)

Simple test program to set brightness of a LED on pin D3 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 3 dmod   \ set D3 to PWM

: pwm ( -- )
  begin 
    0 apin@  4 /  3 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

: 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
  3 5 OCmod  3000000 5 OCstart \ toggle D5 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:

0 OCstop  1 OCstop  5 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 A2. if no event occurs within 2 seconds, "timeout" is issued. Hit any key to abort program.

: ic-test ( -- )
  6 2 dmod \ input capture on A2
  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-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
;
