PulsePattern

Arduino Library to generate repeating pulse patterns AVR ONLY.

Description

This is an experimental library to generate pulse patterns by means of an Arduino UNO. As the library uses AVR hardware timers it is definitely NOT working for ESP or other non-AVR processors.

The library uses timer1 for the timing of the pulses. Therefore the class is implemented with a static instance called PPO. Still by calling init() one can change all parameters of the process. One should note that calling init() forces the timer to stop.

The timer code is based upon the website of Nick Gammon which holds quite a lot of good solid material (Thanks Nick!). https://gammon.com.au/forum/bbshowpost.php?bbtopic_id=123

Use with care.

Note: there is no active development.

Interface

#include "PulsePattern.h"
  • PulsePattern() constructor
  • void init(uint8_t pin, uint16_t*ar, uint8_t size, luint8_t evel, uint8_t prescaler) initializer of the Timer1
    • pin that outputs the pattern
    • array of durations
    • size (or part) of the array to be used
    • starting level HIGH/LOW
    • pre-scaler, one of the 5 defines from .h file (table below)
  • void setFactor(float perc) percentage = factor to correct timing (relative).
  • float getFactor() get the internal used factor. Due to rounding it can be slightly different.
  • void stop() stop the pattern generator
  • void start(uint32_t times = PP_CONTINUOUS) start the pattern generator. Default in the continuous mode to be backwards compatible. PP_CONTINUOUS == 0xFFFFFFFF, so times should be less than 4294967295. For convenience there is a PP_ONCE == 1 defined.
  • void cont() continue the pattern generator from the last stopped place (approx).
  • bool isRunning() status indicator
  • void worker() must be public otherwise the ISR cannot call it.

There is some bad understood __vector_11() error when worker() is private.

Pre-scaler constants

| Value | Prescaler | Timer1 | Notes | |:-------:|:----- -----------|:-------------|:------------:| | 0 | NO_CLOCK | timer off | | 1 | PRESCALE_1 | clk / 1 | | 2 | PRESCALE_8 | clk / 8 | | 3 | PRESCALE_64 | clk / 64 | | 4 | PRESCALE_256 | clk / 250 | | 5 | PRESCALE_1024 | clk / 1024 | about 1 ms / pulse | 6 | EXT_T1_FALLING | T1 = pin 5 | not tested | 7 | EXT_T2_RISING | | not tested

Operation

See examples.

Future

Must

Should

Could

  • ESP32 variant of this class (base class -> AVR -> ESP class)
  • pulse recorder class to record / generate patterns
  • add interval between patterns?
    • or is this just LOW/HIGH for a certain time. if time permits ...
