Xduino v0.12 to be released

Here is an example for dimming the LED connected to PA4 while attaching interrupt to PB8 and PB9. It has been tested with Xduino v0.3 (more projects and examples will be added in the near future)

 

/* Xduino v0.3 */

#include "main.h"
using namespace compatArduino;

void InterruptPB9(void)
{
Serial1.printf("(interrupt 9!!! %d)
", digitalRead(PB9));
}


void InterruptPB8(void)
{
Serial1.printf("(interrupt 8!!! %d)
", digitalRead(PB8));
}


int LedPin = PB7;		// as labelled on ARM Cortex-M3 board


int main(void)
{

float version=0.3;
double fnumber=1234.5678;
char myinput;

doInit(); 				//Initialize Xduino components, this line is required

Serial1.begin(115200); 	//USART1


Serial1.printf("Starting Xduino (v%f) example program...",version);
Serial1.printf("hello!! %d %d %d
",1,2,3);
Serial1.printf("The floating point number is %d 
",fnumber);

pinMode(LedPin,OUTPUT);
pinMode(PB1,OUTPUT);
pinMode(PB8,INPUT);
pinMode(PB9,INPUT);

digitalWrite(PB1,HIGH);

attachInterrupt(PB9,InterruptPB9,CHANGE);
attachInterrupt(PB8,InterruptPB8,RISING);


while(1)
{
if(Serial1.available())
{
myinput=Serial1.read();
Serial1.printf("This system has been up for %lu milliseconds.
",millis());

if(myinput=='a') { digitalWrite(PB1,HIGH); }	// press a to turn PB1 to HIGH state
if(myinput=='b') { digitalWrite(PB1,LOW); }	// press b to turn PB1 to HIGH state
if(myinput=='n') { noInterrupts(); }			// press n to disable all existing interrupts
if(myinput=='i') { interrupts(); }			// press i to enable all existing interrupts
Serial1.printf("Input is %c ...
",myinput);
}


//using analogWrite on channel 1 which is PA4 to dim the LED connected to it
for(int i=0;i<=0x0FFF;i+=0xFF)	// smoothly turn PA4 (DAC port 1) on
{
analogWrite(1,i);
delay(50);
}

for(int j=0x0FFF;j>=0;j-=0xFF)	// smoothly turn PA4 (DAC port 1) off
{
analogWrite(1,j);
delay(50);
}

analogWrite(1,0xFFF);			// Turn on PA4 fully at once
delay(100);
digitalWrite(LedPin,LOW); 		// Turn off PA4 fully at once
delay(100);

}	//## END while(1)

} //## END main()

Xduino v0.12 should come out within the next few days and it will have Serial buffer, Round-robin general purpose library, ADC (Analog input) and might also have DAC (Analog output) functionalities. Note DAC function does not exist in Arduino (yet). PWM function should be coming out soon as well but might not always be needed as there are 2 DAC channels on the ARM Cortex-M3 STM32F10ret6 board which is being used for testing. Arduino compatibility syntax will be provided on the new functions as well.

About XDuino

Arduino platform has definitely enabled a lot of people including those non-tech savvy ones to enter into the electronics worlds. From the beauty of Arduino, now comes the challenge in making Arduino-like environment accessible across as many hardware platforms as possible. This would enable the simplicity and yet powerful Arduino platform to harvest on more powerful resources provided by different hardware to overcome hardware limitations based on different needs.

This approach will never be fully realized without contributors. So all contributions are welcome. Also, comments/suggestions will be highly appreciated. : -)

Let’s see what wonders we can create together…

Now, a little about me. My name is Ram, I am an independent IT consultant based in Bangkok and really like the Arduino project but it did not fit my needs so I started playing with ARM and manage to understand a bit about it then started this project. Feel free to contact me via the Contact us page : -)
