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 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 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.

CH2 blue: D1 pin

Using the PWM (Analog Output Pins)

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
;

SPI is used for the timing. 4 SPI bits are one pulse position bit. fCLK(SDI) = 20 kHz to 600 kHz, the max. frequency for the SPI is therefore 2.4 MHz, I choosed 2 MHz. It takes about 30 us to set one RGB-LED.

Programming (1.5 MBps)

• 256- or 512-byte page programming buffer options
• Quad-input page programming (QPP) for slow clock systems
• Automatic ECC-internal hardware error correction code generation with single bit error correction

Erase (0.5 to 0.65 MBps)

• Hybrid sector size option - Physical set of thirty two 4-KB sectors at top or bottom of address space with all remaining sectors of 64 KB :-(, for compatibility with prior generation S25FL devices.
• Uniform sector option - always erase 256-KB blocks for software compatibility with higher density and future devices.

If we use only the first 4 KiB from the 64 KiB sector then we have 16 MiB / 16 = 1 MiB.
