I have a raspberry pi 3 running a program made in Xojo.
My goal is to have two flow sensors which display the amount of water that flows though each sensor on the screen.
I have a program that works for one flow sensor, it uses the GPIO library and a custom module called 'InterruptModule'. I followed a tutorial to make this program.
Tutorial: https://einhugur.com/blog/index.php/xojo-gpio/connecting-button-with-gpio-and-using-interupts/#comment-14
This program works successfully for both flow sensors, but only one at a time. I.e if I change the input pin and run the program again it works.
HOWEVER, when I try combine the two it responds can't differentiate between the two inputs.
I have tried with two GPIO modules and two custom 'InterruptModule' modules but it still counts the inputs under whichever sensor is defined first.
See my attempt here.
Screenshot of Xojo code
One way to differentiate between the two interrupts is to create two separate callback method.
Example:
Const kPin = 14
If GPIO.WiringPiISR(kPin, GPIO.EDGE_RISING, Addressof InteruptModule.ButtonDownInterupt1) = -1 then
MsgBox "Could not register for Interupt1 on kPin14"
End If
Const kPin = 18
If GPIO.WiringPiISR(kPin, GPIO.EDGE_RISING, Addressof InteruptModule.ButtonDownInterupt2) = -1 then
MsgBox "Could not register for Interupt2 on kPin18"
End If
In this example, each pin interruption would have its own callback method with different code to work with each pin.

I can understand that you can use first frame option for first frame and next frame options for others, but since you can use them as FIRS_FRAME_LAST_FRAME, what is the advantage of other? and when we must use them?
Findings:
A code use wile to continuously transmit two number and get a callback to see if module has accepted that, if this happen correctly the led must blink.
In this simple code I've tested every xferoption of sequential transmission, every options worked except: I2C_LAST_FRAME_NO_STOP and I2C_FIRST_FRAME.
Code:
while (1)
{
value=300;
*(uint16_t*) buffer=(value<<8)|(value>>8);//Data prepared for DAC module
HAL_I2C_Master_Seq_Transmit_IT (&hi2c1, (MCP4725A0_ADDR_A00<<1), buffer, 2,I2C_LAST_FRAME_NO_STOP);
HAL_Delay(1);
HAL_I2C_Master_Receive(&hi2c1, (MCP4725A0_ADDR_A00<<1), rxbuffer, 3, 1000);
if( (uint16_t)(((uint16_t)rxbuffer[1])<<8|((uint16_t)rxbuffer[2]))>>4 == value ){
HAL_GPIO_WritePin(LED_GPIO_Port,LED_Pin,GPIO_PIN_SET);}
HAL_Delay(50);
value=4000;
*(uint16_t*) buffer=(value<<8)|(value>>8);
HAL_I2C_Master_Seq_Transmit_IT (&hi2c1, (MCP4725A0_ADDR_A00<<1), buffer, 2,I2C_LAST_FRAME_NO_STOP);
HAL_Delay(1);
HAL_I2C_Master_Receive(&hi2c1, (MCP4725A0_ADDR_A00<<1), rxbuffer, 3, 1000);
if( (uint16_t)(((uint16_t)rxbuffer[1])<<8|((uint16_t)rxbuffer[2]))>>4 == value ){
HAL_GPIO_WritePin(LED_GPIO_Port,LED_Pin,GPIO_PIN_RESET);}
HAL_Delay(50);
}
The HAL sometimes poorly documents these variables functions, and you will need to dive into the reference manual !
Looking at what the #defines are
https://github.com/STMicroelectronics/STM32CubeF7/blob/f8bda023e34ce9935cb4efb9d1c299860137b6f3/Drivers/STM32F7xx_HAL_Driver/Inc/stm32f7xx_hal_i2c.h#L302-L307
/** #defgroup I2C_XFEROPTIONS I2C Sequential Transfer Options
* #{
*/
#define I2C_FIRST_FRAME ((uint32_t)I2C_SOFTEND_MODE)
#define I2C_FIRST_AND_NEXT_FRAME ((uint32_t)(I2C_RELOAD_MODE | I2C_SOFTEND_MODE))
#define I2C_NEXT_FRAME ((uint32_t)(I2C_RELOAD_MODE | I2C_SOFTEND_MODE))
#define I2C_FIRST_AND_LAST_FRAME ((uint32_t)I2C_AUTOEND_MODE)
#define I2C_LAST_FRAME ((uint32_t)I2C_AUTOEND_MODE)
#define I2C_LAST_FRAME_NO_STOP ((uint32_t)I2C_SOFTEND_MODE)
We can see references to RELOAD and AUTOEND and SOFTEND.
Digging into the reference manual
https://www.st.com/resource/en/reference_manual/rm0385-stm32f75xxx-and-stm32f74xxx-advanced-armbased-32bit-mcus-stmicroelectronics.pdf#page=969
So we can see here the reference to
AUTOEND - as a way to automatically implement a STOP condition after the set bytes end
SOFTEND as a way to prevent the automatic STOP condition and require the software to decide.
Relationship to your observed behaviour
The define's using the SOFTEND mode is where you saw things not working, and this is to be expected, the I2C protocol was not being fulfilled as there was nothing in the code to indicate the STOP condition.
So what does this mean you can do - an example of a variable byte i2c slave receiver
I haven't found a shining example from ST for this, but let me illustrate an example I have implemented in a project for an I2C Slave.
Let us look at the callbacks that are called:

*** Interrupt mode IO operation ***
===================================
[..]
(+) Transmit in master mode an amount of data in non-blocking mode using HAL_I2C_Master_Transmit_IT()
(+) At transmission end of transfer, HAL_I2C_MasterTxCpltCallback() is executed and users can
add their own code by customization of function pointer HAL_I2C_MasterTxCpltCallback()
(+) Receive in master mode an amount of data in non-blocking mode using HAL_I2C_Master_Receive_IT()
(+) At reception end of transfer, HAL_I2C_MasterRxCpltCallback() is executed and users can

(+) Transmit in slave mode an amount of data in non-blocking mode using HAL_I2C_Slave_Transmit_IT()
(+) At transmission end of transfer, HAL_I2C_SlaveTxCpltCallback() is executed and users can
add their own code by customization of function pointer HAL_I2C_SlaveTxCpltCallback()
(+) Receive in slave mode an amount of data in non-blocking mode using HAL_I2C_Slave_Receive_IT()
(+) At reception end of transfer, HAL_I2C_SlaveRxCpltCallback() is executed and users can
add their own code by customization of function pointer HAL_I2C_SlaveRxCpltCallback()
(+) In case of transfer Error, HAL_I2C_ErrorCallback() function is executed and users can
add their own code by customization of function pointer HAL_I2C_ErrorCallback()
(+) Abort a master I2C process communication with Interrupt using HAL_I2C_Master_Abort_IT()
(+) End of abort process, HAL_I2C_AbortCpltCallback() is executed and users can
add their own code by customization of function pointer HAL_I2C_AbortCpltCallback()
(+) Discard a slave I2C process communication using __HAL_I2C_GENERATE_NACK() macro.
This action will inform Master to generate a Stop condition to discard the communication.
Therefore, you could implement a I2C slave that could read a variable/dynamic amount of data:
Receive 1 byte - using the SOFTEND based options
This prevents the stop condition being raised, but once this first byte is received will trigger the HAL_I2C_SlaveRxCpltCallback().
In the HAL_I2C_SlaveRxCpltCallback() check the value of the first byte and then request more data of any further length, but this time using an AUTOEND based option.
I am trying to write a pyserial command to the uart port to control the robot arm.
I have some manual:
manual for arm
manual command example
I use pyserial like that:
import serial
from time import sleep
port = serial.Serial("/dev/ttyUSB0", baudrate=9600, parity=serial.PARITY_NONE, stopbits=serial.STOPBITS_ONE, bytesize=8, timeout=1)
port.write(b"\x055\x55\x0B\x03\x02\x20\x03\x02\xB0\x04\x09\xFC\x03\xaa")
sleep(0.3)
#port.write(b"\x05")
#sleep(0.3)
#port.write(b"\x06")
#sleep(0.03)
#port.write(b"\x08\x01\x00")
print('send')
At first I tried to run it in one line, the buzzer will beep that the command was accepted, but the hand does not move.
Then I tried to split the Header separately for the Length in the next line and the Command with Parameters in the next.
Tell me how you can send these commands to the port, maybe there is something ready to do this in Python?
LSC Series Servo Controller Communication Protocol V1.2 manual says:
If the user transmits the correct data to the servo
controller, the blue LED 2 on the controller will flash one time, indicating that the
correct data have been received. If the user transmits the wrong data, then the blue
LED2 will not have any reaction and will keep the bright, then the buzzer will beepbeep twice to remind the user of the data error.
The only thing in that manual about that buzzer is that it beeps 2 times if there is a data error...
I would like to read a block of data from my Arduino Mega (and also from an Arduino Micro in another project) with my Raspberry Pi via I2C. The code has to be in Perl because it's sort of a plug-in for my Home-Automation-Server.
I'm using the Device::SMBus interface and the connection works, I'm able to write and read single Bytes. I can even use writeBlockData with register address 0x00. I randomly discovererd that this address works.
But when I want to readBlockData, no register-address seems to work.
Does anyone know the correct register-address, or is that not even the problem that causes errors?
Thanks in advance
First off, which register(s) are you wanting to read? Here's an example using my RPi::I2C software (it should be exceptionally similar with the distribution you're using), along with a sketch that has a bunch of pseudo-registers configured for reading/writing.
First, the Perl code. It reads two bytes (the output of an analogRead() of pin A0 which is set up as register 80), then bit-shifts the two bytes into a 16-bit integer to get the full 0-1023 value of the pin:
use warnings;
use strict;
use RPi::I2C;
my $arduino_addr = 0x04;
my $arduino = RPi::I2C->new($arduino_addr);
my #bytes = $arduino->read_block(2, 80);
my $a0_value = ($bytes[0] << 8) | $bytes[1];
print "$a0_value\n";
Here's a full-blown Arduino sketch you can review that sets up a half dozen or so pseudo-registers, and when each register is specified, the Arduino writes or reads the appropriate data. If no register is specified, it operates on 0x00 register.
The I2C on the Arduino always does an onReceive() call before it does the onRequest() (when using Wire), so I set up a global variable reg to hold the register value, which I populate in the onReceive() interrupt, which is then used in the onRequest() call to send you the data at the pseudo-register you've specified.
The sketch itself doesn't really do anything useful, I just presented it as an example. It's actually part of my automated unit test platform for my RPi::WiringPi distribution.
I have a sensor with the interrupt output connected to a input pin on my RaspberryPi. My goal is to trigger an event from the sensor interrupt. The data sheet for my sensor says that once an interrupt is triggered on the sensor, the interrupt status register will have the appropriate bit set to 1 and stay that way until it is cleared; while the status register has a status bit of 1, the interrupt pad on the sensor will be pulled down.
My problem is that I can see the status register correctly reflect an interrupt when I physically trigger the sensor. But when I read the pin from my Pi, I never see any change reflected. Here's the gist of my code:
import Sensor
import RPi.GPIO as GPIO
GPIO.setmode(GPIO.BOARD)
GPIO.setup(11, GPIO.IN, pull_up_down = GPIO.PUD_UP)
s = Sensor.start()
while True:
print 'sensor int reg: ', s.readIntReg() # I do not clear interrupt
print 'pin value: ', GPIO.input(11)
The first print will change according to my interaction with the sensor as expected. The second print shows the pin holds 1 or 0 depending on whether it is set to pull up or down, respectively.
It seems like the problem lies in that whenever the interrupt fires, the sensor is pulling the pin down and the Pi is pulling it up... How should I handle this?
The sensor is the VCNL4010 [https://www.adafruit.com/products/466]
I suppose you have the gpio driver installed and active on the Pi?
Then you'll probably never see the interrupt triggering from the Python level since the kernel driver will service it (and reset the flag) already in the background.
I added a 10k external pull-up resistor with 3.3V and that did the trick... not sure why the internal pull-up on the Pi didn't do the same, perhaps I configured it wrong.
UPDATE: That turned out not to be the issue at all. I was neglecting to explicitly set the sensor to free run mode. Part of my code had the unintended side effect of setting that mode so in tweaking things for test sometimes it worked. The pull-up on the Pi works fine.
Assumed I have a JTAG-chain with several devices from different manufactures:
How does my software, which shall communicate with a specific system within that chain, known the length of the IR for all the others devices within the chain? I do have to know them to send a certain instruction to my device, right?
It is possible to detect the total length of all IR registers in your JTAG daisy-chain. It is also possible to detect the number of devices (or TAPs) in your chain. But you can't detect the individual IR length of a single TAP.
What you can do: You can read out the JTAG ID code register of all of you TAPs. The ID code register (in DR path) is always 32 bit and gets selected by test-logic-reset.
With the ID code you can identify the existing TAPs and look up in the datasheet the length of the individual IR registers.
And yes: In general you do have to know the individual IR length of all the TAPs in your chain to communicate with one of them.
try here: http://www.fpga4fun.com/JTAG3.html
When IR = '1...1', the BYPASS is selected.
The idea is to send a lot of '1' so regardless of IR length all devices will select BYPASS.
