I'm trying to use encoders to track the movement of three wheels on a robot, but as soon as any of the motors move the robot "locks up", it stops responding to commands, stops printing to the serial monitor, and just keeps spinning its wheels until I turn it off. I cut out everything except just the code to track one encoder and tried turning the wheel by hand to sus out the problem, but it still locked up. And even more strangely, now it will start spinning one of the wheels even though I've removed any code that should have it do that, even by mistake.
I used the Arduino IDE to program the pico since I've got no familiarity with python, but I can't find any information or troubleshooting tips for using interrupts with the pico that don't assume you're using micropython.
Here's the simplified code I'm using to try to find the problem. All it's meant to do is keep track of how many steps the encoder has made and print that to the serial monitor every second. Ive tried removing the serial and having it light up LEDs instead but that didn't help.
int encA = 10;
int encB = 11;
int count = 0;
int timer = 0;
void setup() {
// put your setup code here, to run once:
Serial.begin(9600);
attachInterrupt(digitalPinToInterrupt(encA),readEncoder,RISING);
timer = millis();
}
void loop() {
// put your main code here, to run repeatedly:
if (timer - millis() > 5000) {
Serial.println(count);
timer = millis();
}
}
void readEncoder() {
int bVal = digitalRead(encB);
if (bVal == 0) {
count--;
}
else{
count++;
}
}
Does the mapping function digitalPinToInterrupt for the Pi Pico work?
Can you try just using the interrupt number that corresponds to the pi?
attachInterrupt(9,readEncoder,RISING); //Or the number 0-25 which maps to that pin
https://raspberrypi.github.io/pico-sdk-doxygen/group__hardware__irq.html
You have the wrong pin to encoder in your example (maybe you incorrectly copy and pasted)?
attachInterrupt(digitalPinToInterrupt(**encA**),readEncoder,RISING);
void readEncoder() {
int bVal = digitalRead(**encB**); ...}
There is similar code on GitHub that you could modify and try instead.
https://github.com/jumejume1/Arduino/blob/master/ROTARY_ENCODER/ROTARY_ENCODER.ino
It might help you find a solution.
Also,
https://www.arduino.cc/reference/en/libraries/rpi_pico_timerinterrupt/
The interrupt number corresponds to the pin (unless you have reassigned it or disabled it) so for pin 11 the code can be:
attachInterrupt(11, buttonPressed, RISING);
This works:
bool buttonPress = false;
unsigned long buttonTime = 0; // To prevent debounce
void setup() {
Serial.begin(9600);
pinMode(11, INPUT_PULLUP);
attachInterrupt(11, buttonPressed, RISING);
// can be CHANGE or LOW or RISING or FALLING or HIGH
}
void loop() {
if(buttonPress) {
Serial.println(F("Pressed"));
buttonPress= false;
} else {
Serial.println(F("Normal"));
}
delay(250);
}
void buttonPressed() {
//Set timer to work for your loop code time
if (millis() - buttonTime > 250) {
//button press ok
buttonPress= true;
}
buttonTime = millis();
}
See: https://raspberrypi.github.io/pico-sdk-doxygen/group__hardware__irq.html for disable, enable etc.
Not important:
I am doing a project to integrate a bluetooth module into a car radio pioneer. I understand perfectly well that it's easier to buy a new one =) but it's not interesting. At the moment, the byproduct was an adapter on arduino of resistor buttons, which the pioneer did not understand. The same adapter also controls the bluetooth board, it can switch the track forward and backward (there is no button on the steering wheel for pause). Now I want the bluetooth to turn on only in AUX mode. But there is a problem, which mode can be understood only by reading the signal from the SPI bus of the commutation microcircuit. I was able to read this data using arduino nano. I do not have an analyzer, but it is not necessary that I would understand something additional with it.
Essence of the question:
Using the scientific poke method, I found sequences indicating the launch of a particular mode, for example:
10110011
1
111
1000000
I'm sure I'm doing it wrong, but in the meantime I get duplicate results. But, when I try to detect them using IF, the nano speed is not enough and the chip starts to pass data.

I myself am scared to look at this code, but I cannot think of anything better. It seems like I heard about some kind of buffer, but I don't know how to screw it to this solution. After all, the data packets go with dropping the CS signal and I can’t figure out how to determine the beginning and end of the packet from the commands in order to write it to a buffer or array and only then go through it with a comparison.
I will be grateful if someone will tell me at least in which direction to move.
There is also esp8266, but there is a limitation on the size of a data packet of 32 bits in a slave mode and I do not know how to get around it correctly.
So, actually the question.
How can I optimize the code so that the arduino has time to process the data and I can catch the pattern?
Perhaps, if we implement reading of data of arbitrary length on esp8266, or at least fill them to the required length, it would help me. But I still can't figure it out with the spi.slave library.
First you should keep your ISR as short as possible, certainly don't use Serial print inside the ISR.
Secondly, if you don't know exactly how long the data is, then you need to have a buffer to capture the data and try to determine the data length first before you trying to analysis it.
volatile uint8_t byteCount = 0;
volatile bool dataReady = false;
byte data[32];
// SPI interrupt routine
ISR (SPI_STC_vect)
{
data[byteCount++] = SPDR;
dataReady = true;
}
void setup (void)
{
// your SPI and Serial setup code
}
void loop (void)
{
// for determine the data stream length
if (dataReady) {
Serial.println(byteCount);
dataReady = false;
}
}
Once you know how long the data stream is (let assumed it is 15-byte long), you can then change your sketch slightly to capture the data and analysis it.
volatile uint8_t byteCount = 0;
volatile bool dataReady = false;
byte data[32];
// SPI interrupt routine
ISR (SPI_STC_vect)
{
data[byteCount++] = SPDR;
if (byteCount == 15)
dataReady = true;
}
void loop (void)
{
if (dataReady) {
dataReady = false;
// do your analysis here
}
}
I am using stm32f0 MCU.
I would like to transmit every single byte received from the uart out of the uart. I am enabling an interrupt on every byte received from uart.
My code is quite simple.
uint8_t Rx_data[5];
//Interrupt callback routine
void HAL_UART_RxCpltCallback(UART_HandleTypeDef *huart)
{
if (huart->Instance == USART1) //current UART
{
HAL_UART_Transmit(&huart1, &Rx_data[0], 1, 100);
HAL_UART_Receive_IT(&huart1, Rx_data, 1); //activate UART receive interrupt every time on receiving 1 byte
}
}
My PC transmits ASCII 12345678 to stm32. If things work as expected, the PC should be receiving 12345678 back. However, the PC receives 1357 instead. What is wrong with the code?
Reenabling interrupts may be inefficient. With a couple of modifications it is possible to keep the interrupt active without needing to write the handler all over again. See the example below altered from the stm32cubemx generator.
/**
* #brief This function handles USART3 to USART6 global interrupts.
*/
void USART3_6_IRQHandler(void)
{
InterruptGPS(&huart5);
}
void InterruptGPS(UART_HandleTypeDef *huart) {
uint8_t rbyte;
if (huart->Instance != USART5) {
return;
}
/* UART in mode Receiver ---------------------------------------------------*/
if((__HAL_UART_GET_IT(huart, UART_IT_RXNE) == RESET) || (__HAL_UART_GET_IT_SOURCE(huart, UART_IT_RXNE) == RESET)) {
return;
}
rbyte = (uint8_t)(huart->Instance->RDR & (uint8_t)0xff);
__HAL_UART_SEND_REQ(huart, UART_RXDATA_FLUSH_REQUEST);
// do your stuff
}
static void init_gps() {
__HAL_UART_ENABLE_IT(&huart5, UART_IT_RXNE);
}
You should make a tx array buffer as well, and use interrupt for writing as well (The first write if not enabled yet, should be sent immediately).
There should be examples of this for STM32 around.
You should probably switch the two lines: Transmit and Receive. The Transmit function waits for a timeout to send the character, in meantime the next received character is missed.
I am attempting to communicate with a rather specific USB device and developing both Windows and Mac code to do so.
The device is a USB device with a HID interface (class 3) with two endpoints, an interrupt input and an interrupt output. The nature of the device is such that data is sent out from the device on the input endpoint only when data is requested from the host: the host sends it data which the device responds to on its input interrupt endpoint. Getting data to the device (a write) is much more simple...
The code for Windows is rather straight-forward: I get a handle to the device and then call either ReadFile or WriteFile. Apparently much of the underlying asynchronous behavior is abstracted out. It appears to work fine.
On Mac, however, it is a bit stickier. I have tried a number of things, none which have been fully successful, but here are the two things which seemed most promising...
1.) Attempt to get access to the device (as USB) via IOUSBInterfaceInterface, iterate through the endpoints to determine the input and output endpoints, and (hopefully) use ReadPipe and WritePipe to communicate. Unfortunately I am unable to open the interface once I have it, with the return value (kIOReturnExclusiveAccess) noting that something already has the device open exclusively. I have tried using IOUSBinterfaceInterface183, so that I could call USBInterfaceOpenSeize, but that results in the same return error value.
--- update 7/30/2010 ---
Apparently, the Apple IOUSBHIDDriver matches early to the device and this is what likely is preventing opening the IOUSBInterfaceInterface. From some digging about it seems that the common way to prevent the IOUSBHIDDriver from matching is to write a code-less kext (kernel extension) with a higher probe score. This would match early, preventing the IOUSBHIDDriver from opening the device, and should, in theory, permit me to open the interface and to write and read to endpoints directly. This is OK, but I would much prefer not having to install something additional on the user machine. If anyone knows of a solid alternative I would be thankful for the information.
2.) Open the device as an IOHIDDeviceInterface122 (or later). To read, I set up an async port, event source and callback method to be called when data is ready - when data is sent from the device on the input interrupt endpoint. However, to write the data — that the device needs — to initialize a response I can't find a way. I'm stumped. setReport typically writes to the control endpoint, plus I need a write that does not expect any direct response, no blocking.
I have looked around online and have tried many things, but none of them is giving me success. Any advice? I can not use much of the Apple HIDManager code since much of that is 10.5+ and my application must work on 10.4 as well.
I have now a working Mac driver to a USB device that requires communication through interrupt endpoints. Here is how I did it:
Ultimately the method that worked well for me was option 1 (noted above). As noted, I was having issues opening the COM-style IOUSBInterfaceInterface to the device. It became clear over time that this was due to the HIDManager capturing the device. I was unable to wrest control of the device from the HIDManager once it was captured (not even the USBInterfaceOpenSeize call or the USBDeviceOpenSeize calls would work).
To take control of the device I needed to grab it before the HIDManager. The solution to this was to write a codeless kext (kernel extension). A kext is essentially a bundle that sits in System/Library/Extensions that contains (usually) a plist (property list) and (occasionally) a kernel-level driver, among other items. In my case I wanted only the plist, which would give the instructions to the kernel on what devices it matches. If the data gives a higher probe score than the HIDManager then I could essentially capture the device and use a user-space driver to communicate with it.
The kext plist written, with some project-specific details modified, is as follows:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>

The idVendor and idProduct values give the kext specificity and increase its probe score sufficiently.
In order to use the kext, the following things need to be done (which my installer will do for clients):
Change the owner to root:wheel (sudo chown root:wheel DemiUSBDevice.kext)
Copy the kext to Extensions (sudo cp DemiUSBDevice.kext /System/Library/Extensions)
Call the kextload utility to load the kext for immediate use without restart (sudo kextload -vt /System/Library/Extensions/DemiUSBDevice.kext)
Touch the Extensions folder so that the next restart will force a cache rebuild (sudo touch /System/Library/Extensions)
At this point the system should use the kext to keep the HIDManager from capturing my device. Now, what to do with it? How to write to and read from it?
Following are some simplified snippets of my code, minus any error handling, that illustrate the solution. Before being able to do anything with the device, the application needs to know when the device attaches (and detaches). Note that this is merely for purposes of illustration — some of the variables are class-level, some are global, etc. Here is the initialization code that sets the attach/detach events up:
#include <IOKit/IOKitLib.h>
#include <IOKit/IOCFPlugIn.h>
#include <IOKit/usb/IOUSBLib.h>
#include <mach/mach.h>
#define DEMI_VENDOR_ID 12345
#define DEMI_PRODUCT_ID 67890
void DemiUSBDriver::initialize(void)
{
IOReturn result;
Int32 vendor_id = DEMI_VENDOR_ID;
Int32 product_id = DEMI_PRODUCT_ID;
mach_port_t master_port;
CFMutableDictionaryRef matching_dict;
IONotificationPortRef notify_port;
CFRunLoopSourceRef run_loop_source;
//create a master port
result = IOMasterPort(bootstrap_port, &master_port);
//set up a matching dictionary for the device
matching_dict = IOServiceMatching(kIOUSBDeviceClassName);
//add matching parameters
CFDictionarySetValue(matching_dict, CFSTR(kUSBVendorID),
CFNumberCreate(kCFAllocatorDefault, kCFNumberInt32Type, &vendor_id));
CFDictionarySetValue(matching_dict, CFSTR(kUSBProductID),
CFNumberCreate(kCFAllocatorDefault, kCFNumberInt32Type, &product_id));
//create the notification port and event source
notify_port = IONotificationPortCreate(master_port);
run_loop_source = IONotificationPortGetRunLoopSource(notify_port);
CFRunLoopAddSource(CFRunLoopGetCurrent(), run_loop_source,
kCFRunLoopDefaultMode);
//add an additional reference for a secondary event
// - each consumes a reference...
matching_dict = (CFMutableDictionaryRef)CFRetain(matching_dict);
//add a notification callback for detach event
//NOTE: removed_iter is a io_iterator_t, declared elsewhere
result = IOServiceAddMatchingNotification(notify_port,
kIOTerminatedNotification, matching_dict, device_detach_callback,
NULL, &removed_iter);
//call the callback to 'arm' the notification
device_detach_callback(NULL, removed_iter);
//add a notification callback for attach event
//NOTE: added_iter is a io_iterator_t, declared elsewhere
result = IOServiceAddMatchingNotification(notify_port,
kIOFirstMatchNotification, matching_dict, device_attach_callback,
NULL, &g_added_iter);
if (result)
{
throw Exception("Unable to add attach notification callback.");
}
//call the callback to 'arm' the notification
device_attach_callback(NULL, added_iter);
//'pump' the run loop to handle any previously added devices
service();
}
There are two methods that are used as callbacks in this initialization code: device_detach_callback and device_attach_callback (both declared at static methods). device_detach_callback is straightforward:
//implementation
void DemiUSBDevice::device_detach_callback(void* context, io_iterator_t iterator)
{
IOReturn result;
io_service_t obj;
while ((obj = IOIteratorNext(iterator)))
{
//close all open resources associated with this service/device...
//release the service
result = IOObjectRelease(obj);
}
}
device_attach_callback is where most of the magic happens. In my code I have this broken into multiple methods, but here I'll present it as a big monolithic method...:
void DemiUSBDevice::device_attach_callback(void * context,
io_iterator_t iterator)
{
IOReturn result;
io_service_t usb_service;

UInt8 interface_endpoint_count = 0;
UInt8 pipe_ref = 0xff;
UInt8 direction;
UInt8 number;
UInt8 transfer_type;
UInt16 max_packet_size;
UInt8 interval;
CFRunLoopSourceRef m_event_source;
CFRunLoopSourceRef compl_event_source;

IOUSBInterfaceInterface245** intf = NULL;
while ((usb_service = IOIteratorNext(iterator)))
{
//create the intermediate plugin
result = IOCreatePlugInInterfaceForService(usb_service,
kIOUSBDeviceUserClientTypeID, kIOCFPlugInInterfaceID, &plugin,
&score);
//get the device interface
hres = (*plugin)->QueryInterface(plugin,
CFUUIDGetUUIDBytes(kIOUSBDeviceInterfaceID245), (void**)&dev);
//release the plugin - no further need for it
IODestroyPlugInInterface(plugin);
//double check ids for correctness
result = (*dev)->GetDeviceVendor(dev, &vendor);
result = (*dev)->GetDeviceProduct(dev, &product);
if ((vendor != DEMI_VENDOR_ID) || (product != DEMI_PRODUCT_ID))
{
continue;
}
//set up interface find request
request.bInterfaceClass = kIOUSBFindInterfaceDontCare;
request.bInterfaceSubClass = kIOUSBFindInterfaceDontCare;
request.bInterfaceProtocol = kIOUSBFindInterfaceDontCare;
request.bAlternateSetting = kIOUSBFindInterfaceDontCare;
result = (*dev)->CreateInterfaceIterator(dev, &request, &intf_iterator);
while ((usb_interface = IOIteratorNext(intf_iterator)))
{
//create intermediate plugin
result = IOCreatePlugInInterfaceForService(usb_interface,
kIOUSBInterfaceUserClientTypeID, kIOCFPlugInInterfaceID, &plugin,
&score);
//release the usb interface - not needed
result = IOObjectRelease(usb_interface);
//get the general interface interface
hres = (*plugin)->QueryInterface(plugin, CFUUIDGetUUIDBytes(
kIOUSBInterfaceInterfaceID245), (void**)&intf);
//release the plugin interface
IODestroyPlugInInterface(plugin);
//attempt to open the interface
result = (*intf)->USBInterfaceOpen(intf);
//check that the interrupt endpoints are available on this interface
//calling 0xff invalid...
m_input_pipe = 0xff; //UInt8, pipe from device to Mac
m_output_pipe = 0xff; //UInt8, pipe from Mac to device
result = (*intf)->GetNumEndpoints(intf, &interface_endpoint_count);
if (!result)
{
//check endpoints for direction, type, etc.
//note that pipe_ref == 0 is the control endpoint (we don't want it)
for (pipe_ref = 1; pipe_ref <= interface_endpoint_count; pipe_ref++)
{
result = (*intf)->GetPipeProperties(intf, pipe_ref, &direction,
&number, &transfer_type, &max_packet_size, &interval);
if (result)
{
break;
}
if (transfer_type == kUSBInterrupt)
{
if (direction == kUSBIn)
{
m_input_pipe = pipe_ref;
}
else if (direction == kUSBOut)
{
m_output_pipe = pipe_ref;
}
}
}
}
//set up async completion notifications
result = (*m_intf)->CreateInterfaceAsyncEventSource(m_intf,
&compl_event_source);
CFRunLoopAddSource(CFRunLoopGetCurrent(), compl_event_source,
kCFRunLoopDefaultMode);
break;
}
break;
}
}
At this point we should have the numbers of the interrupt endpoints and an open IOUSBInterfaceInterface to the device. An asynchronous writing of data can be done by calling something like:
result = (intf)->WritePipeAsync(intf, m_output_pipe,
data, OUTPUT_DATA_BUF_SZ, device_write_completion,
NULL);
where data is a char buffer of data to write, the final parameter is an optional context object to pass into the callback, and device_write_completion is a static method with the following general form:
void DemiUSBDevice::device_write_completion(void* context,
IOReturn result, void* arg0)
{
//...
}
reading from the interrupt endpoint is similar:
result = (intf)->ReadPipeAsync(intf, m_input_pipe,
data, INPUT_DATA_BUF_SZ, device_read_completion,
NULL);
where device_read_completion is of the following form:
void DemiUSBDevice::device_read_completion(void* context,
IOReturn result, void* arg0)
{
//...
}
Note that to receive these callbacks the run loop must be running (see this link for more information about the CFRunLoop). One way to achieve this is to call CFRunLoopRun() after calling the async read or write methods at which point the main thread blocks while the run loop runs. After handling your callback you can call CFRunLoopStop(CFRunLoopGetCurrent()) to stop the run loop and hand execution back to the main thread.
Another alternative (which I do in my code) is to pass a context object (named 'request' in the following code sample) into the WritePipeAsync/ReadPipeAsync methods - this object contains a boolean completion flag (named 'is_done' in this example). After calling the read/write method, instead of calling CFRunLoopRun(), something like the following can be executed:
while (!(request->is_done))
{
//run for 1/10 second to handle events
Boolean returnAfterSourceHandled = false;
CFTimeInterval seconds = 0.1;
CFStringRef mode = kCFRunLoopDefaultMode;
CFRunLoopRunInMode(mode, seconds, returnAfterSourceHandled);
}
This has the benefit that if you have other threads that use the run loop you won't prematurely exit should another thread stop the run loop...
I hope that this is helpful to people. I had to pull from many incomplete sources to solve this problem and this required considerable work to get running well...
After reading this question a few times and thinking about it for a bit, I thought of another solution for emulating blocking read behavior, but using the HID manager instead of replacing it.
A blocking read function can register an input callback for the device, register the device on the current run loop, and then block by calling CFRunLoopRun(). The input callback can then copy the report into a shared buffer and call CFRunLoopStop(), which causes CFRunLoopRun() to return, thereby unblocking read(). Then, read() can return the report to the caller.
The first issue I can think of is the case where the device is already scheduled on a run loop. Scheduling and then unscheduling the device in the read function may have adverse affects. But that would only be a problem if the application is trying to use both synchronous and asynchronous calls on the same device.
The second thing that comes to mind is the case where the calling code already has a run loop running (Cocoa and Qt apps for example). But, the documentation for CFRunLoopStop() seems to indicate that nested calls to CFRunLoopRun() are handled properly. So, it should be ok.
Here's a bit of simplified code to go with that. I just implemented something similar in my HID Library and it seems to work, although I haven't tested it extensively.
/* An IN report callback that stops its run loop when called.
This is purely for emulating blocking behavior in the read() method */
static void input_oneshot(void* context,
IOReturn result,
void* deviceRef,
IOHIDReportType type,
uint32_t reportID,
uint8_t* report,
CFIndex length)
{
buffer_type *const buffer = static_cast<HID::buffer_type*>(context);
/* If the report is valid, copy it into the caller's buffer
The Report ID is prepended to the buffer so the caller can identify
the report */
if( buffer )
{
buffer->clear(); // Return an empty buffer on error
if( !result && report && deviceRef )
{
buffer->reserve(length+1);
buffer->push_back(reportID);
buffer->insert(buffer->end(), report, report+length);
}
}
CFRunLoopStop(CFRunLoopGetCurrent());
}
// Block while waiting for an IN interrupt report
bool read(buffer_type& buffer)
{
uint8_t _bufferInput[_lengthInputBuffer];
// Register a callback
IOHIDDeviceRegisterInputReportCallback(deviceRef, _bufferInput, _lengthInputBuffer, input_oneshot, &buffer);
// Schedule the device on the current run loop
IOHIDDeviceScheduleWithRunLoop(deviceRef, CFRunLoopGetCurrent(), kCFRunLoopDefaultMode);
// Trap in the run loop until a report is received
CFRunLoopRun();
// The run loop has returned, so unschedule the device
IOHIDDeviceUnscheduleFromRunLoop(deviceRef, CFRunLoopGetCurrent(), kCFRunLoopDefaultMode);
if( buffer.size() )
return true;
return false;
}
I ran into this same kIOReturnExclusiveAccess. Instead of fighting it (building a kext, etc). I found the device and used the POSIX api's.
//My funcation was named differently, but I'm using this for continuity..
void DemiUSBDevice::device_attach_callback(void * context,
io_iterator_t iterator)
{
DeviceManager *deviceManager = (__bridge DADeviceManager *)context;
io_registry_entry_t device;
while ((device = IOIteratorNext(iterator))) {
CFTypeRef prop;
prop = IORegistryEntrySearchCFProperty(device,
kIOServicePlane,
CFSTR(kIODialinDeviceKey),
kCFAllocatorDefault,
kIORegistryIterateRecursively);
if(prop){
deviceManager->devPath = (__bridge NSString *)prop;
[deviceManager performSelector:#selector(openDevice)];
}
}
}
once devPath is set you can call open and read/write..
