Notice. New forum software under development. It's going to miss a few functions and look a bit ugly for a while, but I'm working on it full time now as the old forum was too unstable. Couple days, all good. If you notice any issues, please contact me.

As part of the work I've been doing to shakedown the CSUB functionality in the PicoMite I thought I'd write a logger that can timestamp changes to an input pin very accurately (nearest micro-second).

This also shows the power of the CSUB on the PicoMite. You need V5.07.03RC14 or greater to run this code

Hopefully the comments in the code will be self-explanatory

Option explicit
Option default none
'
Interrupt myint 'set up an interrupt that can be triggered by the CSUB
'
SetPin gp6,cin,3 'set pin 9 (GP6) to cause a H/W interrupt on both edges
'
Dim a%(100) 'array to receive the timestamps
Dim b%=100 'maximum number of transitions to receive
Dim c%=20000000 'timeout of the CSUB in microseconds
'
log a%(),b%,c% 'initialise the logging
'
Do :Loop  'loop continuously
'
Sub myint 'subroutine that is triggered when the non-blocking CSUB terminates
'
 local integer i
 Do While a%(i) 'read all valid data
   Print i,a%(i) 'print it out
   Inc i 'increment the loop counter
 Loop
 Print "end"
 Pause 200
 End  'terminate the program
End Sub
'
' This CSUB logs activity on GP6, each transition of the pin is
' logged to the nearest microsecond. The timestamp is positive for positive
' going transitions and negated for negative going ones
' The parameters are:
' an integer array to hold the timestamps
' an integer with the number of samples to take (the array must be at least this big)
' an integer giving a timeout in microseconds for the CSUB to terminate
' if the number of sample requested is not reached
' when either the timeout occurs or the number of samples is reached the
' CSUB triggers an interrupt to let the Basic program know

Thanks Peter this is excellent. All manner of devices with odd serial formats can now be read without need of a unique function or driver. With the stream captured processing can readily be done in basic. Perfect companion to BITBANG BITSTREAM for two way interaction.

While playing with RC14 and the above CSub I noticed an odd thing. Using PWM as a signal source the difference between timestamps sometimes seemed wrong - double, expected value. What's wrong isn't the CSub, that is excellent but PWM. A CRO shows that at 3900 Hz and above the frequency divides by 2. It starts out at 3900 then instantly jumps to 1950 Hz. At PWM 100kHz sometimes it is 25kHz actual.
Incase the CSub had upset something I tried turning it off then on, made no difference, nor did changing PW %
Reducing CPU speed also had no effect.

Spoke too soon, divide by 2 again.



Tried another Pico with RC13

And got the same result, at 3800 it divides by 2.

Thanks for your help.
I will see if it stays that way when I restore the other Options.

Its back to the same /2 above 3800.
I will remove Options to find which one dos it.

How are you measuring? I'm using a counter/timer and getting correct results now independent of CPU speed. Was certainly wrong in original RC14

I was using a scope which gave the same results as FIN and your new CSub.
Removing all the options one at a time ( cpu restart each time) made no difference, but now CPU SPEED does.

Re did clear flash and updated again then tried a few different CPU speeds. All ok up to 233000 at which point it died. No USB connection showing in Device Manager.

I would suspect power supply to the Pico or similar. All my Picos run happily at 252MHz and PWM is now correct in all cases

Got it going again with a couple of hold button - plug in USB - clear flash - re-flash cycles.

I can confirm Phil's observation
> option list
OPTION SYSTEM SPI GP10,GP11,GP12
OPTION CPUSPEED (KHz) 200000
OPTION LCDPANEL ILI9341, LANDSCAPE,GP7,GP8,GP9
OPTION TOUCH GP14,GP15
GUI CALIBRATE 0, 250, 504, 925, 747
OPTION SDCARD GP13


speed 200000 is OK
speed 250000 gives the half speed PWM.
Definitively PWM, not frequency measurement.

using firmware post earlier in this thread.

Now it has infected FIN. FIN now shows double the frequency that I get on the CRO.

Edit 3 Further observations.
Returned to this Pico after some time testing another (same PWM symptoms) and found FIN back to normal. It seems a brief power off / on is insufficient for a proper reset. If others also find this it may be worth a mention in the manual.
> With OPTION CPUSPEED 240000 PWM is fine up to 100kHz. Not sure what the upper limit is.
If PWM is set too high, relative to CPU speed MMBasic freezes though the heartbeat LED continues to blink. Only power off / on restores it.

Edit 4 Supply filtering
Added 10uF to +5v and 47uF to +3.3V and now PWM works to 200kHz at top CPU speed.

> option cpuspeed 252000
> setpin 4,pwm1a : setpin 9,fin
> pwm 1,200000,50 : pause 1500 : ? pin(9)
200659
> ? pin(9)
200712
> ? pin(9)
200777

CRO shows 200.3kHz, multimeter shows 199.9kHz.

Edit 5 It has reverted to the original problem, so the capacitors aren't the answer.

Edit 6
"V5.07.03RC15"
Many thanks Peter so far it is working perfectly.

hi phil99,

Is this topic closed now ? From reading through it there seem to be different behaviour using the FIN and the CSUB, and you mentioned HW changes (adding capacitors) that was revoked later.

Is the fix in the SW the solution, or incidental ?

From the testing in the thread, I fear that the ARM can run at 252MHz, but that the peripherals (or synchronization on the bus) may become critical above 200MHz. Hence double and half readings (simply missing half of the events).

Any other info from this ?

Peter's fix in V5.07.03RC15 solved the problems for all the Picos I have, but mileage may vary for others as 252MHz is above spec.

Hi disco4now,

In the manchester thread Phil99 indicated the re-compiled version does not work on 5.07.05b18. Any idea ? Is there a new change in header file ?

I want to evaluate this code, so would appreciate if you could have help to make it work.

Maybe we could ask Peter to set up a teams meeting where he gives a demo/instructs (interested) forum members how to make CSUB's. Or maybe a short Youtube? I remember there was a thread earlier about this topic. I would definitely be interested in the ability to create CSUB's. I'll try to find this thread an see if I can understand from the writeup.
However... my skillset may be just the most dangerous one, knowing not enough (capable of a blink routine in Arduino) but being stubborn enough not to accept this flaw.

A web search like

CSUB site:www.thebackshed.com/forum

may be useful.

E.g. I found
https://www.thebackshed.com/forum/ViewTopic.php?TID=14126&P=1
https://www.thebackshed.com/forum/ViewTopic.php?TID=12289&P=1

For the Pico you may first want to follow the RPi doc to set up its tools.

Once you can build the pico sdk / tools (for which you don't need to know any C), you can write a CSUB with a pretty basic grasp of C - just stay simple - and ask here for tips etc.

I think this one works for B13 upwards.

Source has one little fix.

// uSecTimer returns a 64-bit integer giving the number of microseconds since system boot
// CFuncRam is 256 bytes of RAM that aren't touched by Basic
// PinRead gives the status of a pin specified by the number (pin9 = GP6)
// CFuncInt1 is the address of a function to be called when a H/W interrupt occurs on COUNT pin 1
// CFuncmSec is the address of a function to be called every millisecond by trhe main clock interrupt
// Interrupt is a variable that tells Basic that the INTERRUPT specified in the Basic code has been triggered
//
static void check_timer(void){ //routine called every millisecond
unsigned long long int *endtime=(unsigned long long int *)&CFuncRam[8];
if(uSecTimer()>*endtime){ //  timeout triggered
CFuncmSec=0; //disable the millisecond interrupt
CFuncInt1=0; //disable the H/W pin change interrupt
Interrupt=1; //trigger the Basic interrupt
}
}
static void intprog(void){ //routine called every change on GP6
unsigned int *array=(unsigned int *)&CFuncRam[0];
int *count=(int *)&CFuncRam[4];
unsigned int d=*array;
*count=*count-1; //decrement the event counter
if(*count<=0){ //count satisfied
CFuncmSec=0; //disable the millisecond interrupt
CFuncInt1=0; //disable the H/W pin change interrupt
Interrupt=1; //trigger the Basic interrupt
}
if(PinRead(9))*(long long int *)d=uSecTimer();
else *(long long int *)d=-uSecTimer();
*array=*array+sizeof(long long int);
}
void main(long long int *basicarray, long long int *samplecount, long long int *timout){
CFuncInt1=(unsigned int)&intprog; //set up the address for the H/W interrupt
CFuncmSec=(unsigned int)&check_timer; //Set up the address for the millisecond timer
unsigned int *array=(unsigned int *)&CFuncRam[0]; //get a pointer to a permanent location to store a global pointer to the array
