EmanuelFeru e46dff590f Major UART communication improvement
- the UART communication is improved based on UART Idle line detection interrupt
- an Rx ring buffer is used to manage the UART incoming data
- both Tx and Rx are efficiently handled using DMA

#45 #64 #65

Other:
- minor visual improvements

EmanuelFeru 8ddfc82882 Updated PWM Variant
- PWM Variant should now support that the PWM for the 2 channels (steering, throttle) can happen:
• in the same time (ussually the case if Servo library from Arduino is used)
•or offseted (ussually if commercial RC PWM received is used)
- made the PWM timeout for the 2 channels independent to be able to use only one channel if desired.

Merge pull request #57 from benjaf/master
PWM Steering fixed
2020-06-02 14:46:07 +02:00
EmanuelFeru 22411e1851 update PWM timeout
- updated the `pwm_timeout` and uncommented `pwm_captured_ch1_value` as discussed with @benjaf
2020-06-02 14:42:14 +02:00
EmanuelFeru b95307f260 Update control.c
- removed the `PWM_signal_Correct(..)` function, because it is already existing here 34c6e4d610/Src/util.c (L844-L862)
- added (void) to the functions
- limited `pwm_timeout` to 500 instead of 0, ottherwise the timeout won't work properly, because it will will reset every time.

EmanuelFeru 34c6e4d610 Improved UART Timeout
Apparently, the UART data Rx/Tx is quite unreliable (especially under motor load) leading to very often out-of-sync issues. This change allows to reset the DMA more often, leading to a faster re-sync of the UART transmission and thus avoiding UART timeout.

- config.h : increased the default ADC protection Timeout from 30 to 100 for more robustness.

EmanuelFeru 72e6b30033 UART with sideboards works + major refactoring
► the mainboard can now send and receive Serial data from the sideboards
► heavy refactored the `main.c`. It was becoming too large to manage... Therefore, `util.c` and `util.h` was created
► added new functionality for `VARIANT_HOVERCAR` and variants with `CONTROL_ADC` in general:
- ADC limits auto-calibration mode (long press of the power button) - calibration will not be lost at power-off
- Max Current and Max Speed adjustment mode (long press followed by a short press of the power button) - calibration will not be lost at power-off
- added one sideboard functionality:
         - LEDs are used to display battery level,  Motor Enable, Errors, Reverse driving, Braking.
         - Photo sensors are used as push buttons: One for changing Control Mode, One for Activating/Deactivating the Field Weakening on the fly

EmanuelFeru b4b23bbe9b Implemented HOVERCAR variant
Major:
- created HOVERCAR variant (selectable via platformio.ini) for driving via 2 pedals: Brake (on cmd1) and Throttle (on cmd2)
- implemented "Double tapping" on Brake pedal to engage Reverse driving
- implemented that Brake pedal stops the vehicle but does not go to Reverse, to prevend unintended Reverse driving
- implemented ADC Protection when GND and Vcc wire are disconnected. The functionality can be enabled/disabled via #define ADC_PROTECT_ENA
- updated error handling: in case of major error the motors will be disabled for improved safety

Minor:
- fixed bug on low-pass filter for not reaching exact "0" value
- calibrated the ADC Battery voltage reading
- other minor visual updates

EmanuelFeru 31d42b4a17 Major improvements
- reduced FOC computational complexity by up to 20%, from 85% (old) to 65% (new)
- updated Field Weakening by allowing more freedom set-up: field weakening blended in the input fully, partially blended, or fully outside the input range
- major improvemets on current and speed limitations. It allows seemless limitation protection -> very happy with the result
