Mudanças entre as edições de "ESTE: UART - Basic Interrupts"

Edição atual tal como às 09h11min de 15 de outubro de 2015

This experiment is part of this project.

Here we are going to do an experiment to aprimorate the UART and Interrupts concepts. Until now, for our applications on UART communication we were using the "one-single-loop". This model is quite fast and hardly inserts processing or memory overhead. However, the biggest problem with this architecture is to create routines involving information reading, that generate some kind of delay, and receiving messages. One of the solutions available to solve these problems are the interruptions, that allow a predefined function to be executed whenever an event happens and so, we can program a system that responds to events and not just run their operations sequentially. Among the most common interruptions implemented that will be used in this experiment are the communication one, generated by a reception of a message/byte or when the system is available to send some information. Therefore the exercise here proposed will light up a led - activated by interruption - every time new bytes of data arrive on the serial communication port. To complete this experiment it is recommended to see at first the GPIO and External Interrupts - part 1 and UART scripts.

Pseudo code

Let's begin with a solution. The pseudo code (actual coding is up to you) is below:

int main(void) {
    byte incomingByte;
    baud_rate = 9600;
    while(1) {
        led_off();
    }
    return 0;    
}
void serial_interrupt_event() {
    if (data_available_on_input_field()) {
        incomingByte = read_data_on_input_field();
        println(incomingByte);
        led_on();
    }
}

This pseudo-code has a comparison statement to check if there are data available on the input field of the serial monitor, i.e serial port. If so, the data available will be stored on the memory, printed - only for debuging- and the led will be lighted on.

-Here we are going to do an experiment to implement a real aplication with UART. The exercise proposed here is to implement a communication between two boards, namelly two Arduinos Uno. A led on the second arduino(slave board) will blink according to the data received from the first arduino(master board). Therefore we need to programm to types of code: one for the master(sender) board and one for the slave board(receiver). In order to understand all the concepts used in this experiment it is recommended to see at first the basic UART script.

-The master pseudo-code always varies a value to be send via the serial port. The slave pseudo-code has a comparison statement to check if the data_input_field is already filled and, if so, we know a data has been sent from the serial port and then the receiver board stores the data on the memory board and turns the led on or off according to the  byte_received.
