The Maple board +contains a 16-channel, 12-bit analog to digital converter. This means +that it will map input voltages between 0 and 3.3 volts into integer +values between 0 and 4095.

For more +information, see :ref:`adc`. + +Before calling analogRead() on a pin, that pin must first be +configured for analog input, using :ref:`lang-pinMode` (you only +have to do this once, so it's usually done in :ref:`lang-setup`\ ). + +Parameter Discussion +-------------------- + +The pin parameter is the number of the analog input pin to read from. +Header pins on the Maple with ADC functionality (marked as "AIN" on +the silkscreen) are: + + 0, 1, 2, 3, 10, 11, 12, 13, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 27, 28 + +Note that pins 3, 27, and 28 are not marked AIN on the silkscreen +for Maple revisions through Rev 5, however, they **do work** as +analog input pins. + +Note +---- + +If the analog input pin is not connected to anything, the value +returned by analogRead() will fluctuate based on a number of factors +(e.g. the values of the other analog inputs, how close your hand is to +the board, etc.) in a seemingly random way. + + +Example +------- + + :: + + + int analogPin = 3; // potentiometer wiper (middle terminal) connected + // to analog pin 3. outside leads to ground and +3.3V + int val = 0; // variable to store the value read + + void setup() { + pinMode(analogPin, INPUT_ANALOG); // set up pin for analog input + SerialUSB.begin(); // set up usb virtual COM port + } + + void loop() { + val = analogRead(analogPin); // read the input pin + SerialUSB.println(val); // print the value, for debugging with + // a serial monitor + } + + +Arduino Compatibility +--------------------- + +The Arduino board contains a 6 channel (8 channels on the Mini and +Nano, 16 on the Mega), 10-bit analog to digital converter with an +input voltage range of 0V--5V. This means that it will map input +voltages between 0 and 5 volts (which is **larger** than Maple's range +of 0V-3.3V) into integer values between 0 and 1023 (which is +**smaller** than the Maple's range of 0--4095). + +This yields a theoretical resolution between readings of: 5 volts / +1024 units or .0049 volts (4.9 mV) per unit on Arduino boards, which +is larger, and thus less precise, than Maple's 0.0008 volts (0.8 mV). + +If your program expects Arduino-style 10-bit ADC, you can :ref:`right +shift <lang-bitshift>` the value of a Maple readout by 2, like so:: + + // right shift means that the result will be between 0 and 1023; + // be aware that you're losing a lot of precision if you do this + int adc_reading = analogRead(pin) >> 2; + +On the Arduino, the input range and resolution can be changed using +their implementation of `analogReference() +<http://arduino.cc/en/Reference/AnalogReference>`_\ .

In each case, we +have some recommendations you can use to help converting from Arduino +to Maple. + +Difference 1: Duty cycle range is different +^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ + +The first and most important difference is that the largest possible +value for the duty cycle is much bigger on the Maple. Using Arduino's +analogWrite(), the duty cycle ranges between 0--255 (always off -- +always on)\ [#fbytemax]_\ . Using Maple's pwmWrite(), the duty cycle +ranges from 0--65,535 by default\ [#fuint16max]_\ . + +This is a good thing! The greater range of values on the Maple gives +you much more precise control over the duty cycle of your PWM output. + +If you're porting code from the Arduino and want a quick-and-dirty +fix, one solution is to :ref:`map <lang-map>` the argument to +analogWrite into the right range:: + + // Arduino code: + analogWrite(pin, duty); + + // Becomes Maple code: + analogWrite(pin, map(duty, 0, 255, 0, 65535)); + +This will convert values in the range 0-255 to values in the range +0--65,635, which is the correct default range for all of the timers +which control PWM output. See the :ref:`timers reference <timers>` +for more information. + +Another fix is to consult the :ref:`pin mapping mega table +<pin-mapping-mega-table>` to find the timer which controls PWM on the +pin you're using, then set that Timer's overflow to 255. Subsequent +calls to analogWrite() should work as on the Arduino (with the same +loss of precision). Note, however, that that affects the overflow for +the **entire timer**, so other code relying on that timer (such as any +:ref:`interrupts <lang-attachinterrupt>` the timer controls) will +likely need to be modified as well. + +Difference 2: You must use pinMode() to set up PWM +^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ + +The second difference is that on the Maple, you **must** set up the pin +for PWM output using :ref:`lang-pinmode`\ , with argument ``PWM``. +This should just be one extra line of code in your +:ref:`lang-setup` function. Example:: + + void setup() { + // set up pin 9 for PWM + pinMode(9, PWM); + } + +This also means that you can't later call :ref:`lang-digitalread` +or :ref:`lang-digitalwrite` on that pin (unless some time in +between, you use pinMode() to reconfigure that pin for ``INPUT`` or +``OUTPUT``; see the :ref:`lang-pinmode` page for more information). + +Difference 3: No PWM on pin 10 +^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ + +On the Maple, the pins which support PWM are: 0, 1, 2, 3, 5, 6, 7, 8, +9, 11, 12, 14, 24, 27, and 28 or fifteen pins in total. That's *more* +PWM-capable pins as any Arduino board, but there are differences in +*which* pins support PWM. + +* On **most Arduino boards** (those with the ATmega168 or ATmega328; + this includes the **Arduino Uno**), this function works on pins 3, + 5, 6, 9, 10, and 11, or six pins total. Note that these boards + support PWM on pin 10, while Maple does not. + +* On the **Arduino Mega**, PWM works on pins 2 through 13, or twelve + pins total. Note that this board supports PWM on pins 4, 10, and + 13, while the Maple does not. + +* **Older Arduino boards** with an ATmega8 only support analogWrite() + on pins 9, 10, and 11. Maple does not support PWM on pin 10. + +In all cases, Arduino boards support PWM on pin 10, unlike Maple. We +did our best to make PWM as pin-compatible as possible; however, +circuit layout constraints prevented us from achieving perfect +compatibility. + +The "safest" pins to use for PWM output are pins 9 and 11. These pins +work on any Arduino board and on Maple. The "safe" pins, which work +on most recent Arduino boards, the Arduino Mega and the Maple, are +pins 3, 5, 6, 9, and 11. Thus, if you want your project to be as +portable as possible between Maple and Arduino, we recommend using the +"safest" pins first, then the "safe" pins, then any other pins, as +necessary. + +Difference 4: PWM frequency +^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ + +The frequency of the PWM signal (i.e., the frequency of a complete +on/off cycle) on the Arduino is approximately 490 Hz. + +On the Maple, the frequency is configurable, defaulting to about 1100 +Hz, or 1.1 KHz. This is because the PWM frequency is the frequency of +the timer which controls PWM output on the particular pin (\ +:ref:`the PWM tutorial has the details <pwm>`\ ). + +If your application definitely requires Arduino's PWM frequency, then +the steps are: + +1. Figure out which :ref:`timer <lang-hardwaretimer>` controls PWM + output on your pin (\ :ref:`this table <pwm-timer-table>` is your + friend here). Let's say it's ``Timern``\ , where ``n`` is some + number 1, 2, 3, or 4. + +2. Call ``Timern.setPeriod(2041)``\ . This will set the timer's + period to approximately 2041 microseconds, which is a frequency of + approximately 490 Hz. + +Be aware that this will change the period for the **entire timer**\ , +and will affect anything else in your program that depends on that +timer. The important examples are :ref:`timer interrupts +<lang-hardwaretimer-attachinterrupt>` and :ref:`PWM +<timers-pwm-conflicts>`\ . + +See also +-------- + +- :ref:`Maple PWM tutorial <pwm>` + +.. rubric:: Footnotes + +..

A +good task for using an interrupt might be reading a rotary encoder, +or monitoring user input. + + +If you wanted to insure that a program always caught the pulses +from a rotary encoder, never missing a pulse, it would make it very +tricky to write a program to do anything else, because the program +would need to constantly poll the sensor lines for the encoder, in +order to catch pulses when they occurred. Other sensors have a +similar interface dynamic too, such as trying to read a sound +sensor that is trying to catch a click, or an infrared slot sensor +(photo-interrupter) trying to catch a coin drop.

When a +pin is configured as an ``INPUT`` (using :ref:`pinMode() +<lang-pinmode>`), and read with :ref:`digitalRead() +<lang-digitalread>`, the microcontroller will report ``HIGH`` if a +voltage of 3 volts or more is present at the pin. + +..

The basic modes, +``INPUT`` and ``OUTPUT``, have been introduced above. Changing a pin +from ``INPUT`` TO ``OUTPUT`` with :ref:`pinMode() <lang-pinmode>` +drastically changes the electrical behavior of the pin. + +This section describes the basic digital pin modes (``INPUT`` and +``OUTPUT``) only. For a detailed description of all possible pin +modes, see the :ref:`pinMode() <lang-pinmode>` reference page. + +.. _lang-constants-input: + +INPUT +^^^^^ + +Maple (STM32) pins configured as ``INPUT`` are said to be in a +high-impedance state. One way of explaining this is that pins +configured as ``INPUT`` make extremely small demands on the circuit +that they are sampling. This makes them useful for reading a sensor, +but not powering an LED. + +.. _lang-constants-output: + +OUTPUT +^^^^^^ + +Pins configured as ``OUTPUT`` with :ref:`pinMode() <lang-pinmode>` are +said to be in a low-impedance state. This means that they can provide +a substantial amount of current to other circuits. STM32 pins can +source (provide positive current) or sink (provide negative current) +up to 50 mA (milliamps) of current to other devices/circuits. This +makes them useful for powering LEDs, but useless for reading sensors. + +Pins configured as outputs can also be damaged or destroyed if short +circuited to either ground or 3.3V power rails. The amount of current +provided by an STM32 pin is also not enough to power most relays or +motors, and some interface circuitry will be required. + +.. _lang-constants-integers: + +Integer Constants +----------------- + +Integer constants (or more properly speaking, integer *literals*) are +numbers used directly in a sketch, like ``123``. By default, an +integer literal is treated as a (signed) :ref:`int <lang-int>`, but +you can change this with the U and L modifiers (see :ref:`below +<lang-constants-integers-u-l>`). You can specify negative numbers by +putting a minus sign in front, like ``-123``. + +Normally, integer literals are treated as base 10 (decimal) integers, +but special notation (formatters) may be used to enter numbers in +other bases. These are summarized in the following table: + +.. list-table:: + :header-rows: 1 + + * - Base + - Example + - Formatter + - Comment + + * - 10 (decimal) + - ``123`` + - None + - + + * - 2 (binary) + - ``0b1111011`` + - Leading "0b" + - GCC extension; not standard C++ + + * - 8 (octal) + - ``0173`` + - Leading "0" + - Characters 0-7 valid + + * - 16 (hexadecimal) + - ``0x7B`` + - Leading "0x" + - Characters 0-9, A-F (or a-f) valid + +Binary constants (like ``B1111011``) for values between 0 and 255 are +supported for compatibility with Arduino only. Their use in new +programs is discouraged. + +.. _lang-constants-integers-dec: + +**Decimal** is base 10. This is the common number system we learn in +school. Integer literals without other prefixes are assumed to be in +decimal format. + +For example, the decimal literal ``101`` is one hundred and one: 1×10\ +:sup:`2` + 0×10\ :sup:`1` + 1×10\ :sup:`0` = 101. + +.. _lang-constants-integers-bin: + +**Binary** is base two. Only characters 0 and 1 are valid. Binary +literals are indicated by the prefix ``0b`` (this is a :ref:`GCC +<arm-gcc>` extension; it's not standard C++). + +For example, the binary literal ``0b101`` is five: 1×2\ :sup:`2` + +0×2\ :sup:`1` + 1×2\ :sup:`0` = 5. + +.. _lang-constants-integers-oct: + +**Octal** is base eight.

For example, +``3.0f`` is a floating-point literal with type ``float``. + +Floating point constants can also be expressed in a variety of +scientific notation. ``E`` and ``e`` are both accepted as valid +exponent indicators.
