- the UART communication is improved based on UART Idle line detection interrupt
- an Rx ring buffer is used to manage the UART incoming data
- both Tx and Rx are efficiently handled using DMA
#45#64#65
Other:
- minor visual improvements
- PWM Variant should now support that the PWM for the 2 channels (steering, throttle) can happen:
• in the same time (ussually the case if Servo library from Arduino is used)
•or offseted (ussually if commercial RC PWM received is used)
- made the PWM timeout for the 2 channels independent to be able to use only one channel if desired.
- removed the `PWM_signal_Correct(..)` function, because it is already existing here 34c6e4d610/Src/util.c (L844-L862)
- added (void) to the functions
- limited `pwm_timeout` to 500 instead of 0, ottherwise the timeout won't work properly, because it will will reset every time.
Apparently, the UART data Rx/Tx is quite unreliable (especially under motor load) leading to very often out-of-sync issues. This change allows to reset the DMA more often, leading to a faster re-sync of the UART transmission and thus avoiding UART timeout.
- updated ReadMe: added higher resolution mainboard picture, added links with projects, online compiler, Telegram link
- setup.c : fixed the Charger GPIO pin to PULLUP, otherwise the Charger won't be recognized when connected
- config.h : increased the default ADC protection Timeout from 30 to 100 for more robustness.
► the mainboard can now send and receive Serial data from the sideboards
► heavy refactored the `main.c`. It was becoming too large to manage... Therefore, `util.c` and `util.h` was created
► added new functionality for `VARIANT_HOVERCAR` and variants with `CONTROL_ADC` in general:
- ADC limits auto-calibration mode (long press of the power button) - calibration will not be lost at power-off
- Max Current and Max Speed adjustment mode (long press followed by a short press of the power button) - calibration will not be lost at power-off
- added one sideboard functionality:
- LEDs are used to display battery level, Motor Enable, Errors, Reverse driving, Braking.
- Photo sensors are used as push buttons: One for changing Control Mode, One for Activating/Deactivating the Field Weakening on the fly
