Arduino Due libraries (official and 3rd party)

[ArthurD]

looks and sounds as if the DUE finally has been abandoned by Arduino.cc (or at least is  treated more than stepmotherly)

Greetings to all.
@ josheeg i want to find eigen values and eigen vector of complex matrix in arduino. And don't know how to do that . I have downloaded your eigen library and also the one that is available at github,,

Actually i am converting a matlab code to arduino . I am using arduino due board . Below is the sample code of matlab that i want to convert in arduino
 
 [V,Dia] = eig(Rxx);
[Y,Index] = sort(diag(Dia));
EN = V(:,Index(1:6-1));

Rxx is complex matrix of 6x6. I have created this matrix in arduino using complex.h library. Now i have to find eigen values and eigen vectors of this matrix. So what should i do ,can any one help?

currently the implementation of the USB.task is really weird, keyPressed and keyReleased don't return anything and it's totally osbscured how and when they do either or anything meaningful,
currently it's not even possible to indicate if a key was hit at all or not (like provided by kbhit() ),
usb.Task has to be called repeatedly but then blocks program execution intermediately and repeatedly for many seconds (which is unconscionable in the main loop() but shockingly also hinders different additional Scheduler multitasking threads ).

I recently began investigating USB host on Due. The keyboard example works OK here. There is an OTG to host cable on the native port for the keyboard. The programming port is connected to a PC. External power is plugged into the barrel connector. The keyboard does not work without external power.

IDE 1.6.6, Due board package 1.6.6., Due USB Host library 1.0.4. Latest versions of everything.

I wish there were another non-HID example because the ADK example is very confusing. I hooked an Android tablet but nothing happens on the Due or the tablet. I guess I have to dig in and find out what app, if any, is required on the Android side. And turn on trace debug.

Some keyboard output.

Hi Guys,

I'm trying to implement the awesome TVOut library on the arduino due....

my results so far... https://youtu.be/3PaF-g1nPGE

when I have the library working I'll upload it, for now, I think I'm getting somewhere...

by the way... this is the Sync Generation.... you may say it's like Grug from The Croods... but if you saw the video, it's working nice so far

I thank Stimmer for the Due Timer and the TVOut library designer for this project, they were the inspiration...

Next... NTSC Video overlay (Video Experimenter @ https://nootropicdesign.com/ve/)

this is the Arduino MEGA overlay using Video Experimenter concept :https://youtu.be/frtSf0sggEk

this is not how it is expected to work.

It should work by stdio.h and possibly conio.h functionality like, e.g.

Code: [Select]

char sbuf[20];
while(1) {
     if kbhit() {
        int c = getch();
        putchar(c);
        // or perhaps:
        // sprintf (sbuf, "%c", (char)c);
        // Serial.print(sbuf);
     }
     delay(10);

Hi all,

This post is just to anounce that I have developed a library for the DUE which takes advantage of several features of the Timer Counter (TC) modules available in Atmel's ATSAM3X8E.

The name of the library is tc_lib and it is openly available at:

 https://github.com/antodom/tc_lib


In its initial operative version the library provides two kind of objects:

• Capture objects. With these objects you can measure the period and pulse (duty) of a typical digital signal, like a PWM signal. In fact, the example provided measure the signal generated with analogWrite().
• Action objects. These objects allow to associate a callback function to any of the TC channels (you have nine in total), such that the function its called with the period you establish. The resolution of the period is in microseconds.

You have available examples using both types of objects, I hope the examples are self-explaining.

More info about tc_lib in https://github.com/antodom/tc_lib.

Drop me a line if you have any question or interest.

[antodom]

Hi all again

This is to announce the publication of a library which abstract the eight PWM channels available in Arduino DUE's ATSAM3X8E microcontroller.

The name of the library is pwm_lib, and is openly available at: https://github.com/antodom/pwm_lib.

Each ATSAM3X8E PWM channel can be used to generate a completely independent PWM signal directly on hardware. The motivation to develop this library was two fold. First, the current limitation of the Arduino standard library where it is not possible to change the PWM output period of the PWM signals generated using function analogWrite(). And second, to have a library for servos directly supported by the hardware, therefore, "lighter", in terms of code generated and computational load, than the Servo library available in the Arduino standard library.

The library provides two kind of objects associated with each PWM channel: pwm and servo objects. As those objects abstract the PWM channels available on the micro controller, using pwm_lib you can use, at most, eight independent pwm_lib objects in your application, each one with its own PWM characteristics (PWM signal period and pulse duration). In its current version, the maximum period for PWM signals you can get using pwm_lib is a period of 0.798915048 seconds (minimum frequency of 1.251697539 Hz).

Two examples comes with pwm_lib to illustrate its use: basic_test.ino and servo_test.ino, who illustrate respectively the use of pwm and servo objects. Example basic_test.ino uses two PWM objects for generating two independent PWM outputs with different PWM characteristics (period and duty). Example servo_test.ino uses a servo object to generated a PWM output for a typical servo.

More details about pwm_lib in https://github.com/antodom/pwm_lib.

And, if in any doubt, drop me a line.

I hope it helps.

Which library you would recommend to connect an ESP8266 WiFi module? I vote for ITEADLIB_Arduino_ESP8266

[pjeve]

@ antodom: thank you for the pwm_lib...

I have two little question:

1) is it possible to set "dynamically" the frequency/period as seem we can do with the duty cycle?

I mean a method "pwm_pinX.set_period(period_value);" like "pwm_pinX.set_duty(duty_value);"

I would like to make something like a polyphonic synthesizer and be able to manage the start-stop/freq/duty for every voice.

2) Are all the registers/counters used 16 bit, right?

[antodom]

Hi there @pjeve,

For changing the frequency, use pwm_object.stop() first, and then pwm_object.start(period,duty), where you can set a new period.

In relation to your second question, the PWM counter is a 16 bit counter according to ATMSAM3X8E datasheet, but the resolution depends on the period you establish. In fact, due to that, in pwm_lib you specify the duty in time units, not in internal counter ticks. You can find out the number of counter ticks using function pwm_core::tick_time() using as argument, the returned value of pwm_core::find_clock() for the period you want to use (both functions are in pwm_defs.h).

Best.

now what about a reasonable keyboard HID lib ?
when will there be finally one ?

this is not how it is expected to work.

It should work by stdio.h and possibly conio.h functionality like, e.g.

Code: [Select]

char sbuf[20];
while(1) {
     if kbhit() {
        int c = getch();
        putchar(c);
        // or perhaps:
        // sprintf (sbuf, "%c", (char)c);
        // Serial.print(sbuf);
     }
     delay(10);   
  }

i there any library for DS18B20 temperature sensor compatible with due?? please share it.

[bilbo83]

On DUE, I'am using "OneWire". Excellent.

https://www.pjrc.com/teensy/td_libs_OneWire.html

[ninja2]

I have my Adafruit GPS working using the excellent NeoGPS library that has only just been updated for Due by the author /Dev (SlashDevin).

It works fine on Due but note there are some limitations for Due compared to UNO or MEGA, e.g can't use interrupt driven mode yet as that requires  NeoHWSerial libary which has yet to be adapted. Hopefully these are only temporary limitations...

cheers
