Maple Rev6 - The Serial Bootloader (Tentative) +.. ---------------------------------------------- + +.. .. note:: This section documents an in-progress version of the Maple +.. bootloader. **No Maples yet sold use this bootloader protocol**. +.. It has not been yet been publicly released, and its interface is +.. not stable. + +.. The bootloader in Rev3/Rev5 works well on Linux, acceptably on Mac, +.. but was unsatisfactory on Windows. Unlike the other operating systems, +.. Windows needed to be manually pointed to both the driver to use for +.. programming (DFU, via `libusb <http://www.libusb.org/>`_) and the +.. driver to use for serial communication (usbser.sys, built in to +.. Windows). Since Maple operates in only one of these modes at a time, +.. driver installation was unnecessarily complicated. It was necessary to +.. bring Maple into the correct mode before installing each of the +.. drivers. Furthermore, because libusb is not bundled with Windows, and +.. its driver is not signed, Windows 7 users have been forced to +.. laboriously disable driver signing checks. Finally, Windows hates the +.. constant switching of the device between Serial and DFU modes (during +.. programming), and often prompts users to install drivers that are +.. already installed. We have therefore decided to abandon DFU. + +.. In our new bootloader scheme, Maple is simply a serial device. +.. Windows comes bundled with usbser.sys, so no driver signing is +.. required. The IDE installation process is greatly simplified, there +.. is no more switching back and forth between "modes", and we can build +.. in new functionality outside the DFU spec. + +.. The first incarnation of this serial-only bootloader leaves libmaple +.. and user code untouched. However, during programming, instead of +.. calling :command:`dfu-util` to upload code we will now call a newly +.. written utility script similar to `avr-dude +.. <http://savannah.nongnu.org/projects/avrdude/>`_. The high level +.. operation of the bootloader will remain the same - come on at startup, +.. wait for an upload operation or timeout, and jump to user code. + +.. The second version of this bootloader will eliminate this dependence +.. on resetting and timing out by having the bootloader run in the +.. background. It will additionally own the serial port. In this scheme, +.. sending data over the COM port while DTR is pulled low results in that +.. packet being captured by the bootloader and interpreted as a +.. bootloader command. When the user uploads a new program, the +.. bootloader will overwrite the old one, reset the various peripheral +.. registers, and jump to user code. All of this will occur without +.. resetting the chip and thus causing Maple to connect and disconnect +.. from your computer (which seems to cause many problems). + +.. The final version of this bootloader scheme will involve a separate +.. microcontroller, whose responsibilities are to drive the USB port, +.. program the main processor, and offer some amount of debugging +.. capability. This will allow user sketches to run on the bare metal of +.. the main processor, without any bootloader hiding underneath. This +.. approach is similar to the approaches taken by mbed and the Arduino +.. Uno. + +.. Regardless of which generation of the new serial bootloader you are +.. working with, the command interface is the same. The low level +.. communication protocol is inspired by STK-500, the protocol used to +.. program many AVR-based development boards. The protocol is a +.. packetized query-response scheme. The host PC initiates every +.. transaction, and for every query sent to the bootloader, a single +.. response will be returned (or the system times out). Data is +.. transmitted over 115.2kbps, 8 data bits, 1 stop bit, no parity +.. bit.

The first thing you'll need to +do is to compile your bootloader binary. Note that an ASCII +representation of the binary, such as the Intel .hex format, will not +suffice. For example, you can run (on a :ref:`suitably configured +system <unix-toolchain>`) the following to obtain a binary of the +bootloader currently used on the Maple:: + + $ git checkout git://github.com/leaflabs/maple-bootloader.git + $ cd maple-bootloader + $ make + $ ls -lh build/maple-boot.bin # this is the compiled bootloader binary + +**Step 2: Connect Maple Serial1 to your computer**. +There are a variety of ways of doing this. We use Sparkfun's `FTDI +breakout boards <http://www.sparkfun.com/products/718>`_, but you +could use another Maple, an Arduino, etc. -- anything that allows your +computer to communicate with the Maple you want to reprogram over a +serial interface. + +If you do use an FTDI breakout board, first make sure your Maple is +disconnected from an external power source, be it battery, USB, or +barrel jack. Then, connect the FTDI board's TX pin to ``Serial1``\ 's +RX pin (pin 8), FTDI RX to ``Serial1`` TX (pin 7), FTDI ground to +Maple's GND, and its 3.3V pin to Maple's Vin (use the Maple's +silkscreen for help locating these pins). At this point, you're ready +to plug the FTDI board into your computer (via USB). + +The ``Serial1`` pins are documented :ref:`here <lang-serial>`. + +**Step 3: Put your Maple into serial bootloader mode**. Do this by +pressing the RESET button, then *while RESET is held down*, pressing +and holding the BUT button. Next, *making sure to keep BUT held +down*, release the RESET button and wait for a few seconds before +releasing BUT. + +**Step 4: Obtain stm32loader.py**. The +script ``stm32loader.py`` is provided with libmaple. If you have set +up the :ref:`Unix toolchain <unix-toolchain>`, it is available in +libmaple/support/stm32loader.py.

As +appropriate, these have "Arduino Compatibility" sections; one good +example is the :ref:`analogWrite() <lang-analogwrite-compatibility>` +function. +- Check the hardware and header differences above, and see if your + project or shield needs to be modified (eg, add 3.3V level + converters or reroute PWM to header D10). + +- Check for ported library functionality. We intend to port all of the + core and popular libraries (like Wire, Ethernet, and the LCD screen + driver), but this task is not yet finished. (Patches are welcome!) + +- Check for peripheral conflicts; changing the configuration of timers + and bus speeds for a feature on one header may impact all the + features on that hardware "port". For example, changing the timer + prescaler to do long PWM pulses could impact |i2c| communications on + nearby headers. + +- Rewrite any low-level code. This could potentially be very + difficult, but hopefully you've used the Arduino libraries to + abstract away the registers and other hardware-specific + details. Your sketch probably doesn't have any low-level code; a + library which wraps a particular peripheral very well may. Some + help is available in the :ref:`arm-gcc` reference. + +- Redeclare variable sizes if necessary: generics like ``int`` will + probably work unless you depend on side-effects like rollover. + +- Check every ``pinMode()``: the Maple has more modes for GPIO + pins. For example, make sure to set analog pins to ``INPUT_ANALOG`` + before reading and PWM pins to ``PWM`` before writing. The full set + of pin modes is documented in the :ref:`lang-pinmode` reference. + +- Modify PWM writes: ``pinMode()`` must be set to ``PWM``, the + frequency of the PWM pulse configured, and the duty cycle written + with up to 16-bit resolution. + +- Modify ADC reads: :ref:`lang-analogread` takes the full pin number + (not 0-5) and returns a full 12-bit reading. The ADC pin must have + its ``pinMode()`` set to ``INPUT_ANALOG``. + +- Possibly convert all Serial-over-USB communications to use + :ref:`lang-serialusb` instead of a USART :ref:`serial port + <lang-serial>`. The Maple has a dedicated USB port which is not + connected to the USART TX/RX pins in any way. + +- Check timing: Maple clock cycles are just 13.9 nanoseconds, though + the peripheral bus speeds (which limit GPIO output) are clocked + slower. diff --git a/docs/source/conf.py b/docs/source/conf.py index e1aa3a4..1ad4e57 100644 --- a/docs/source/conf.py +++ b/docs/source/conf.py @@ -37,7 +37,7 @@ extensions = ['sphinx.ext.autodoc', 'sphinx.ext.doctest', 'sphinx.ext.coverage', 'breathe'] # Add any paths that contain templates here, relative to this directory. -templates_path = ['_templates'] +templates_path = ['_templates', '_static'] # The suffix of source filenames. source_suffix = '.rst' @@ -59,7 +59,7 @@ copyright = u'2010, LeafLabs, LLC' # The short X.Y version. version = '0.0' # The full version, including alpha/beta/rc tags. -release = '0.0.7' +release = '0.0.9' # The language for content autogenerated by Sphinx.

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.

An integer which is 0 evaluates +to ``false`` as a boolean. + +.. _lang-constants-true: + +true +^^^^ + +``true`` is the true ``bool`` value. As an integer, ``true`` is often +said to be 1. This is correct in the sense that ``true`` evaluates to +1 as an integer. However, any integer which is *non-zero* is ``true`` +as a :ref:`bool <lang-booleanvariables>`. So -1, 2 and -200 are all +"true", in the sense that these numbers are treated the same as +``true`` in a boolean context. + +Note that the ``true`` and ``false`` constants are typed in lowercase; +unlike e.g. ``HIGH``, ``LOW``, ``INPUT``, and ``OUTPUT`` (which are +described below). + + +Pin Levels: HIGH and LOW +------------------------ + +When reading or writing to a digital pin there are only two possible +values a pin can be set to: ``HIGH`` and ``LOW``. + +.. _lang-constants-high: + +HIGH +^^^^ + +The meaning of ``HIGH`` (in reference to a pin) is somewhat different +depending on whether the pin is set to ``INPUT`` or ``OUTPUT``. 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. + +.. TODO? Following seems false; check it out sometime, leave out for now: + +.. A pin may also be configured as an ``INPUT`` with ``pinMode()``, and +.. subsequently made ``HIGH`` with :ref:`digitalWrite() +.. <lang-digitalwrite>`, this will set the internal pullup resistors, +.. which will *steer* the input pin to a HIGH reading unless it is pulled +.. LOW by external circuitry. + +When a pin is configured to ``OUTPUT`` with pinMode, and set to +``HIGH`` with :ref:`digitalWrite() <lang-digitalwrite>`, the pin is at +3.3 volts. In this state it can *source* current, e.g. light an LED +that is connected through a series resistor to ground, or to another +pin configured as an output and set to ``LOW``. + +.. _lang-constants-low: + +LOW +^^^ + +The meaning of ``LOW`` also has a different meaning depending on +whether a pin is set to ``INPUT`` or ``OUTPUT``. When a pin is +configured as an ``INPUT`` with :ref:`pinMode() <lang-pinmode>`, and +read with :ref:`digitalRead() <lang-digitalread>`, the microcontroller +will report ``LOW`` if a voltage of 2 volts or less is present at the +pin. + +When a pin is configured to ``OUTPUT`` with ``pinMode()``, and set to +``LOW`` with :ref:`digitalWrite() <lang-digitalwrite>`, the +microcontroller will attempt to keep that pin's voltage at 0V.

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. Only characters 0 through 7 are valid. Octal +literals are indicated by the prefix ``0``. + +For example, the octal literal ``0101`` is sixty five: 1×8\ :sup:`2` + +0×8\ :sup:`1` + 1×8\ :sup:`0` = 65. + +.. warning:: Bugs sometimes result by (unintentionally) including a + leading "0" before an integer literal, which makes the compiler + interpret it in octal. + +.. _lang-constants-integers-hex: + +**Hexadecimal** (or "hex") is base sixteen. Valid characters are 0 +through 9 and letters A through F; A has the value 10, B is 11, up to +F, which is 15. Hex values are indicated by the prefix ``0x``. A-F +may be typed in upper or lower case (a-f). + +For example, the hexadecimal literal ``0x101`` is two hundred fifty +seven: 1×16\ :sup:`2` + 0×16\ :sup:`1` + 1×16\ :sup:`0` = 257. + +The hexadecimal literal ``0xCF2`` is three thousand, three hundred +fourteen: 12×16\ :sup:`2` + 15×16\ :sup:`1` + 2×16\ :sup:`0` = 3314. + +(Remember that in hex, ``A`` means 10, and counting up, ``B``\ =11, so +``C``\ =12 and ``F``\ =15). + +.. _lang-constants-integers-u-l: + +U and L Suffixes +^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ + +By default, an integer constant is treated as an :ref:`int +<lang-int>`, with the attendant :ref:`limitations in values +<lang-int-overflow>`. To specify an integer constant with another data +type, follow it with: + +- a ``u`` or ``U`` to interpret the constant as an unsigned value. + For example, ``33U`` is an :ref:`unsigned int <lang-unsignedint>`. + +- an ``l`` or ``L`` to interpret the constant as a long value. For + example, ``100000L`` is a :ref:`long <lang-long>`. + +- a ``ul`` or ``UL`` to do both. For example, ``32767UL`` is an + :ref:`unsigned long <lang-unsignedlong>`. + +.. _lang-constants-fp: + +Floating-Point Constants +------------------------ + +Similar to integer literals, floating point constants (properly: +floating-point *literals*) are used to make code more readable. +Floating point literals are swapped at compile time for the value to +which the expression evaluates. + +A floating point literal is any number which includes a decimal point. +For instance, ``3.0`` is a floating-point literal for the number 3. +By default, a floating-point literal is a :ref:`double <lang-double>`. +In order for the literal to be interpreted as a :ref:`float +<lang-float>`, you can write ``f`` directly after it. 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. Some examples are given in the following table: + + +.. list-table:: + :header-rows: 1 + + * - Floating-point literal + - Evaluates to + - Alternate expression + + * - ``10.0`` + - 10 + - + + * - ``2.34E5`` + - 2.34×10\ :sup:`5` + - ``234000.0`` + + * - ``67e-12`` + - 67.0×10\ :sup:`-12` + - ``0.000000000067`` + +.. _lang-constants-board: + +Board-Specific Constants +------------------------ + +This section documents constants whose value might change across +different LeafLabs boards.

You can mostly use ``SerialUSB`` as a drop-in +replacement for ``Serial1``, ``Serial2``, and ``Serial3``. + +.. warning:: The ``SerialUSB`` functionality includes a 50 millisecond + timeout for writes, and does not try to detect if the USB host is + "really" connected, or just enumerated and initialized. + + This means that if you have a number of calls to one of the + ``SerialUSB`` ``write()`` or ``print()`` functions in your code, + and you are not monitoring the emulated on a computer, your program + will run much, much slower than if it is being monitored or totally + disconnected (run off of a battery). + + You can avoid this behavior by :ref:`deciphering the port status + using the DTR and RTS line status <lang-serialusb-safe-print>`; the + behavior of these control lines is platform dependent and we no + longer interpret them by default. + +Library Documentation +--------------------- + +The ``SerialUSB`` object is an instance of the ``USBSerial`` class, +which is documented in this section.

For example, a ``short`` takes up 2 bytes of memory, +or 2 * 8 = 16 bits. + +See Also +-------- + +- :ref:`lang-bit` +- :ref:`lang-bitread` +- :ref:`lang-bitwrite` +- :ref:`lang-bitclear` + + +.. include:: cc-attribution.txt diff --git a/docs/source/lang/cpp/bitwisemath.rst b/docs/source/lang/cpp/bitwisemath.rst new file mode 100644 index 0000000..28fe6bf --- /dev/null +++ b/docs/source/lang/cpp/bitwisemath.rst @@ -0,0 +1,186 @@ +.. highlight:: cpp + +.. _lang-bitwisemath: + +Bitwise Operators (``&``, ``|``, ``^``, ``~``) +============================================== + +The bitwise operators perform their calculations at the bit level of +variables. They help solve a wide range of common programming +problems. + +Much of the material here is adapted for Maple from an (Arduino) +`tutorial on bitwise math +<http://www.arduino.cc/playground/Code/BitMath>`_\ . Another great +resource is the Wikipedia article on `bitwise operations +<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bitwise_operation>`_\ . + +Below are descriptions and syntax for all of the operators. + +.. contents:: Contents + :local: + +.. _lang-bitwisemath-and: + +Bitwise AND (``&``) +------------------- + +The bitwise AND operator in C++ is a single ampersand, ``&``, used +between two other integer expressions. Bitwise AND operates on each +bit position of the surrounding expressions independently, according +to this rule: if both input bits are 1, the resulting output is 1, +otherwise the output is 0. Another way of expressing this is:: + + 0 0 1 1 operand1 + 0 1 0 1 operand2 + ---------- + 0 0 0 1 (operand1 & operand2) = result + + +On the Maple, the type ``int`` is a 32-bit value, so using ``&`` +between two ``int`` expressions causes 32 simultaneous AND operations +to occur. In a code fragment like:: + + int a = 92; // in binary: 00000000000000000000000001011100 + int b = 101; // in binary: 00000000000000000000000001100101 + int c = a & b; // result: 00000000000000000000000001000100, + // (or 68 in decimal). + + +Each of the 32 bits in ``a`` and ``b`` are processed using bitwise +AND, and all 32 resulting bits are stored in ``c``, resulting in the +value 1000100 in binary, which is 68 in decimal. + + +.. _lang-bitwisemath-or: + +Bitwise OR (``|``) +------------------ + +The bitwise OR operator in C++ is the vertical bar symbol, ``|``. Like +the ``&`` operator, ``|`` operates independently on each bit in its +two surrounding integer expressions, but what it does is +different. The bitwise OR of two bits is 1 if either or both of the +input bits is 1, otherwise it is 0. For example:: + + 0 0 1 1 operand1 + 0 1 0 1 operand2 + ---------- + 0 1 1 1 (operand1 | operand2) = result + +Here is an example of bitwise OR used in a snippet of C++ code (using +``char``, which takes up 8 bits of memory, instead of ``int``, which +uses 32):: + + char a = 92; // in binary: 01011100 + char b = 101; // in binary: 01100101 + char c = a | b; // result: 01111101, or 125 in decimal. + +.. _lang-bitwisemath-xor: + +Bitwise XOR (``^``) +------------------- + +There is a somewhat unusual operator in C++ called bitwise EXCLUSIVE +OR, also known as bitwise XOR. (In English, this is usually pronounced +"zor" or "ex-or"). The bitwise XOR operator is written using the caret +symbol, ``^``. This operator is very similar to the bitwise OR +operator ``|``, except it evaluates to 0 for a given bit position when +both of the input bits for that position are 1:: + + 0 0 1 1 operand1 + 0 1 0 1 operand2 + ---------- + 0 1 1 0 (operand1 ^ operand2) = result + + +Another way to look at bitwise XOR is that each bit in the result +is a 1 if the input bits are different, or 0 if they are the same. + +Here is a simple example:: + + int x = 12; // binary (ignoring extra bits): 1100 + int y = 10; // binary: 1010 + int z = x ^ y; // binary: 0110, or decimal 6 + + + +The ^ operator is often used to toggle (i.e. change from 0 to 1, or 1 +to 0) some of the bits in an integer expression. In a bitwise OR +operation if there is a 1 in the mask bit, that bit is inverted; if +there is a 0, the bit is not inverted and stays the same. Below is a +program to blink digital pin 13 (the LED pin on Maple):: + + // Blink Maple LED pin + + int led_pin = 13; + int toggle = 0; + + // demo for Exclusive OR + void setup(){ + pinMode(led_pin, OUTPUT); + } + + void loop(){ + toggle = toggle ^ 1; + digitalWrite(led_pin, toggle); + delay(100); + } + +.. _lang-bitwisemath-not: + +Bitwise NOT (``~``) +------------------- + +The bitwise NOT operator in C++ is the tilde character ``~``. Unlike +``&`` and ``|``, the bitwise NOT operator is applied to a single +operand to its right. Bitwise NOT changes each bit to its opposite: 0 +becomes 1, and 1 becomes 0. For example:: + + 0 1 operand1 + ---- + 1 0 ~operand1 = result + +Another example:: + + char a = 103; // binary: 01100111 + char b = ~a; // binary: 10011000 = -104 + +You might be surprised to see a negative number like -104 as the +result of this operation. This is because the highest bit in an int +variable is the so-called "sign bit". If the highest bit is 1, the +number is interpreted as negative. This encoding of positive and +negative numbers is referred to as *two's complement*. For more +information, see the Wikipedia article on `two's +complement. <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Twos_complement>`_ + +As an aside, it is interesting to note that (under two's complement +arithmetic) for any integer ``x``, ``~x`` is the same as ``-x-1``. + +At times, the sign bit in a signed integer expression can cause +some unwanted surprises. + + +Uses +---- + +One of the most common uses of bitwise operations is to select or +manipulate a particular bit (or bits) from an integer value, often +called `bit masking +<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mask_%28computing%29>`_\ .

This proceeds +until the condition becomes false. + +Examples +-------- + +Here's an example:: + + // Dim an LED using a PWM pin + int pwmPin = 9; // LED in series with 470 ohm resistor on pin 9 + + void setup() { + pinMode(pwmPin, PWM); + } + + void loop() { + for (int i=0; i <= 65535; i++) { + pwmWrite(pwmPin, i); + delay(1); + } + } + +There is a ``for`` loop In the :ref:`loop() <lang-loop>` function of +the above example. This loop starts by declaring an ``int`` variable +named ``i``, whose value starts out at zero. The loop proceeds by +checking if ``i`` is less than or equal to 65535. Since ``i`` is +zero, this is true, and so the calls to :ref:`pwmWrite() +<lang-pwmwrite>` and :ref:`delay() <lang-delay>` happen next. At this +point, the post-loop expression ``i++`` is evaluated, which +:ref:`increments <lang-increment>` ``i``, so that ``i`` becomes one. +That concludes the first time through the loop. Each "time through +the loop" is referred to as an *iteration*. + +The loop then jumps back to the beginning, checking the condition as +the beginning of its second iteration (initialization is skipped, +since this only happens once, before the first iteration). One is +less than 65535, so the loop statements are executed again. This +proceeds over and over until the iteration when ``i`` finally +reaches 65536. At that point, the condition is no longer true, so the +loop stops executing, and the ``loop()`` function returns. + +Here's another example, using a ``for`` loop to brighten and fade an +LED (see the :ref:`pwmWrite() <lang-pwmwrite>` reference for more +information):: + + int pwmPin = 9; // hook up the LED to pin 9 + void loop() { + int x = 1; + for (int i = 0; i >= 0; i += x) { + analogWrite(pwmPin, i); // controls the brightness of the LED + if (i == 65535) { + x = -1; // switch direction, so i starts decreasing + } + delay(1); + } + } + +Coding Tips +----------- + +The C ``for`` loop is more flexible than ``for`` loops found in some +other computer languages, including BASIC. Any or all of the three +header elements may be left blank, although the semicolons are +required. Also the statements for initialization, condition, and +post-loop can be any valid C statements, and use any C datatypes, +including :ref:`floating point numbers <lang-double>`. These types +of unusual ``for`` loops sometimes provide solutions to less-common +programming problems. + +For example, using a multiplication in the post-loop line will +generate a `geometric progression +<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Geometric_progression>`_:: + + for(int x = 1; x <= 100; x = x * 2) { + SerialUSB.println(x); + } + + +This loop prints out the numbers 1, 2, 4, 8, ..., 64.

You can +label a line by writing a name for it, then a colon (``:``), before +the line starts. The ``goto`` keyword allows program flow to transfer +to a labeled line from anywhere within the same function. + +.. warning:: The use of ``goto`` is discouraged in C and C++ + programming. It is *never necessary* to use ``goto`` to write a + program. + + Unless you know what you're doing, using ``goto`` tends to + encourage code which is harder to debug and understand than + programs without ``goto`` that do the same thing. That said, + however, it's sometimes useful; :ref:`see below <goto-when-to-use>` + for a concrete example. + +Using Labels and goto +--------------------- + +Labels and ``goto`` are probably best explained through example. +Let's start with an example of how to label lines. The first line +(``int x = analogRead(some_pin);``) in the :ref:`loop <lang-loop>` +function below has label ``readpin``. The third line (``delay(x);``) +has label ``startdelay``. The second line (``SerialUSB.println(x);``) +does not have a label:: + + void loop() { + readpin: + int x = analogRead(some_pin); + SerialUSB.println(x); // for debugging + startdelay: + delay(x); + // ... more code ... + } + +Anything which can be a :ref:`variable <lang-variables>` name can +be a label. + +Let's say that we wanted to print ``x`` only if it was very large, say +at least 2000. We might want to do this just so anybody watching on a +:ref:`serial monitor <ide-serial-monitor>` would know they were in for +a longer wait than usual. We can accomplish this through the use of a +``goto`` statement that skips the printing if ``x`` is less than +2000:: + + void loop() { + readpin: + int x = analogRead(some_pin); + if (x < 2000) { + goto startdelay; + } + SerialUSB.println(x); // for debugging + startdelay: + delay(x); + // ... more code ... + } + +In this modified program, whenever ``x`` is less than 2000, the body +of the :ref:`if <lang-if>` statement in the second line is +executed. The ``goto`` statement inside the ``if`` body skips +straight to the line labeled ``startdelay``, passing over the line +doing the printing. + +A ``goto`` does not have to "move forwards"; it can go "backwards", +too. For example, the following program prints "5" forever (why?):: + + void loop() { + printfive: + SerialUSB.println(5); + goto printfive; + SerialUSB.println(6); + } + +.. _goto-when-to-use: + +When to Use goto +---------------- + +As mentioned above, use of ``goto`` is `generally discouraged +<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Goto#Criticism_and_decline>`_. However, +when used with care, ``goto`` can simplify certain programs. One +important use case for ``goto`` is breaking out of deeply nested +:ref:`for <lang-for>` loops or :ref:`if <lang-if>` logic blocks. +Here's an example:: + + for(int r = 0; r < 255; r++) { + for(int g = 255; g > -1; g--) { + for(int b = 0; b < 255; b++) { + if (analogRead(0) > 250) { + goto bailout; + } + // more statements ... + } + // innermost loop ends here + } + } + bailout: + // more code here + +In the above example, whenever the :ref:`analog reading +<lang-analogread>` on pin 0 was greater than 250, the program would +jump to the line labeled ``bailout``, exiting all three loops at once. + +While there is already a :ref:`break <lang-break>` keyword for +breaking out of a loop, it will only break out of the *innermost* +loop. So, if instead of saying "``goto bailout;``", there was a +"``break;``" instead, the program would only exit from the loop with +header "``for(int b = 0; b < 255; b++)``". The program would continue +at the line which reads "``// innermost loop ends here``", which is +clearly undesirable if you wanted to leave all three loops at once. + +More examples of when ``goto`` is a good choice are given in Donald +Knuth's paper, "Structured Programming with go to Statements"; see +below for a link. + +See Also +-------- + +- Dijkstra, Edsger W. `Go To Statement Considered Harmful <http://citeseerx.ist.psu.edu/viewdoc/download?doi=10.1.1.92.4846&rep=rep1&type=pdf>`_ (PDF) + +- Knuth, Donald. `Structured Programming with go to Statements <http://pplab.snu.ac.kr/courses/adv_pl05/papers/p261-knuth.pdf>`_ (PDF) + + +.. include:: cc-attribution.txt diff --git a/docs/source/lang/cpp/if.rst b/docs/source/lang/cpp/if.rst new file mode 100644 index 0000000..bef89e2 --- /dev/null +++ b/docs/source/lang/cpp/if.rst @@ -0,0 +1,121 @@ +.. highlight:: cpp + +.. _lang-if: + +``if``/``else`` +=============== + +An ``if`` statement is used to execute code when certain conditions +are met. The general syntax for an ``if`` statement is:: + + if (condition) { + body + } + +An ``if`` statement first tests whether its *condition* is true (such +as an input being above a certain number).

Declaring a +variable means defining its type, giving it a name, and (optionally) +giving it an initial value (this is often referred to as +*initializing* the variable). Variables do not have to be initialized +(given a value) when they are declared, but it is good style to give +them an initial value whenever possible. + +Here is an example of declaring a variable named ``inputVariable1`` +with type :ref:`int <lang-int>` (the ``int`` type is used to store +integers, like -2, -1, 0, 1, etc.):: + + int inputVariable1; + +In the above declaration, we did not give the variable an initial +value.

Names for variables can +contain letters, numbers, and underscores (the underscore is the +:kbd:`_` character), and cannot begin with a number. So +``temperature_reading``, ``tempReading``, ``tempReading1``, and +``tempReading2`` are all valid variable names, but ``4_temp_readings`` +is not, because it begins with a number. + +You cannot choose a name for a variable that is one of the C++ +:ref:`keywords <lang-keywords>`. + +Variable names are case-sensitive, so "tempreading" and "tempReading" +are different variables. However, it is very bad style to write code +that chooses variables which are the same up to case. + +You should give your variables descriptive names, so as to make your +code more readable. Variable names like ``tiltSensor`` or +``pushButton`` help you (and anyone else reading your code) understand +what the variable represents. Variable names like ``var`` or +``value``, on the other hand, do little to make your code readable. + +.. _lang-variables-scope: + +Variable Scope +-------------- + +An important choice that programmers face is where (in the program +text) to declare variables. The specific place that variables are +declared influences how various functions in a program will "see" the +variable. This is called variable *scope*. See the :ref:`scope +reference <lang-scope>` for more information. + +.. _lang-variables-initializing: + +Initializing Variables +---------------------- + +Variables may be *initialized* (assigned a starting value) when they +are declared or not. It is always good programming practice however to +double check that a variable has valid data in it before it is used. +Using a variable before you give it a value is a common source of +bugs. + +.. _lang-variables-rollover: + +Variable Rollover +----------------- + +Every (numeric) type has a valid *range*. The range of a type is the +smallest and largest value that a variable of that type can store. +For example, the :ref:`int <lang-int>` type has a range of +-2,147,483,648 to 2,147,483,647 [#frange]_. + +When variables are made to exceed their range's maximum value, they +"roll over" back to their minimum value. Note that this happens in +both directions. It's like in the game *Pac-Man* -- when Pac-Man goes +past the right edge of the screen, he reappears on the left, and when +he goes past the left side of the screen, he reappears on the right:: + + int x; + x = -2,147,483,648; + x = x - 1; // x now contains -2,147,483,647; rolled over "left to right" + + x = 2,147,483,647; + x = x + 1; // x now contains -2,147,483,648; rolled over "right to left" + +Each numeric type's reference page includes its range. See the +:ref:`built-in types <lang-built-in-types>` reference for links to each +type's reference page. + +Using Variables +--------------- + +Once variables have been declared, they are given values using the +:ref:`assignment operator <lang-assignment>`, which is a single equals +sign, ``=``. The assignment operator tells the program to store the +value on the right side of the equals sign into the variable on the +left side:: + + inputVariable1 = 7; // sets variable named inputVariable1 to 7 + inputVariable2 = analogRead(2); // sets variable named inputVariable2 to + // the (digitized) input voltage read from + // analog pin #2 + +Once a variable has been set (assigned a value), you can test its +value to see if it meets certain conditions, or you can use its value +directly. For instance, the following code tests whether the +inputVariable2 is less than 100, then sets a delay based on +inputVariable2 (which, at that point, is at least 100):: + + if (inputVariable2 < 100) { + inputVariable2 = 100; + } + + delay(inputVariable2); + +See Also +-------- + +- :ref:`lang-scope` +- :ref:`lang-built-in-types` + +.. rubric:: Footnotes + +..
