Joe Finney a4c0915fff microbit: BUGFIX Prevent BLE Magnetometer service from initiating compass
calibration

MicroBitCompass initiates a calibration procedure on demand if a heading is
requested from an uncalibrated device. The BLE MagnetometerService also
attempts to retrieve a heading periodically, but it is not good behaviour to
initiate calibration as a response to this.

This patch introduces a check such that the BLE MagnetometerService will only
attempt to read heading data from a previously calibrated compass.

Joe Finney ec0fecb36d microbit: Add explicit dependency on lancaster-university/nrf51-sdk
Minor configuration changed now required in the nrf51-sdk to support micro:bit
requirements.

Joe Finney 13eb3c07e7 microbit: Add explicit service changed notification
BLE central devices (such as mobile phones/tablets) are permitted to cache the
list of services and characteristics provided by a BLE peripheral such as the
micro:bit. This was causing compatibility problems with IOS during FOTA
flashing, as the the list of BLE services may change after flashing.

Joe Finney 1c9ae30d1c microbit: Added basic bond table management
The Nordic BLE stack contains a fixed size bond table - a list of devices that
have paired with our device (in the case the micro:bit). The default mbed
wrapper around the nordic stack does not account for the case where the bond
table is full.

This patch implements basic bounds checking within the MicroBitBLEManager so
that this table cannot overrun. If a new device attempts to pair when the bond
table is full, the table is emptied prior to completing bonding.

Joe Finney e754ecf3aa microbit: Setting of default BLE transmission power level
Added configuration option in MicroBitConfig to allow the default power level
to be defined. Based on experiments undertaken by the BBC and subsequent policies defined by
the BBC's child protection panel, to is set by default it's lowest level (0),
in order to protect children's privacy.

It should be noted that this is 30dB below the device's default setting, so will
inevitably leave the device more susceptible to interference, and therefore
significantly reduce the reliability of the device. This will likely present
itself through increased packet loss, reduced thorughout, lost data and
connection drop outs. The normal BLE power level on commercial devices
translates to  power level of 6.

The author has witnessed an inability to connect to a micro:bit from a
distance of 40cm under domestic conditions using a Samsung S5 mini
running Android 4.4.2.

James Devine b2484dcc97 microbit: patch for animation/scroll behaviour for images
See bbc/microbit-extras/issues/#1100 or lancaster-university/microbit-dal/issues/5 for full details.

Summary:

A stride of 0 would lock the calling fiber indefinitely, which was not the expected behaviour
for many people.

This update fixes this issue in both animate and scroll, returning immediately when there is
a stride of zero.

James Devine acf6bf76eb microbit: further fixes to #73
issue #73 highlighted an issue whereby the destruction of an instance
registered as an idle or system component, would result in a hardfault.

This was due to not deregistering idle or system callbacks.

This patch has been applied to all components currently in use by the
idle or system callbacks.

James Devine 8d3f3affbd microbit: fix for #73
The destructor for MicroBitButton didn't take into account the fact that
an instance can be destructed after registering a callback. This would then
result in a HardFault if an instance was destructed.

A clear repro case was registering a Touch input on a pin (abstracted as a button)
and swapping to a DigitalIn.

2016-01-12 21:14:29 +00:00
James Devine 983e9e1ad3 microbit: added Servo API to MicroBitPin
* Added a number of #defines to MicroBitPin.h which ultimately lead to retabulation of the #defines

* Added two new instance methods:

	- setServoValue() which sets the default servo period (20ms) and accepts a value in the range
			  0 - 180, which maps to a duty cycle between 5% and 10% respectively. This
			  mapping is also configurable.

	- setServoPulseUs() which accepts a pulse width in microseconds, and maps it onto the PWM
			    channel.

as well as some minor textual changes.

James Devine 32c40cdc29 microbit: DynamicPwm fixes and additions
This commit introduces an initial draft fix
for a bug where it would take two "setPeriods" for the
PWM class to update to the expected value.

This commit also adds three new methods to a DynamicPwm instance:

	* write() -  which is a lightweight wrapper around PwmOut write,
	  so that the value can be trapped. The trapping of the value
	  is necessary for the bug fix.
	* getPeriod() - which returns the value of a static variable,
	  containing the current period shared across the pwm bus.
	* getValue() - which returns a scaled value in the range 0-1024
	  representing the current duty cycle.

James Devine 643f408ed2 microbit: modified the behaviour of pwm allocation
Dynamic pwm previously didn't round robin transient pwm channels,
and would therefore bias towards the first transient channel it found.
This update ensures that there is now an equal opportunity for all
channels to be considered for redirection.

James Devine 68474c5e58 microbit: modified constructor for DynamicPwm

Joe Finney 56a495fbd7 microbit: Update of MESEvent codes to avoid MICROBIT_EVT_ANY collision
Events listed recorded in MESEvents.h were enumerated from zero.
This is not ideal, as MicroBitMessageBus uses a code of zero for
MICROBIT_EVT_ANY - a wildcard mechanism to register interest in all events
from a given ID.

All event values recorded in MESEvents.h have therefore incremented.

declarations

Added missing operator new[] wrapper in MicroBitHeapAllocator.h
Ammended defualt microBitConfig.h to allocate 90% of available heap, rather
than 95%. this is to leave a little more heap for external libraries.

Joe Finney 6916d506b8 microbit: Removed print funcitons from matrix class due to SRAM overhead of
native printf() call.

The Matrix4::print() function is useful, but non essential for most
applications, and the underlying printf() call required cost an
additional 1K of RAM on first use, which is currently above the budget for
micro:bit.

Joe Finney d51b1205f7 microbit: Added support for compass tilt compensation
An e-compass solution requires knowwlede two pieces of data to provide an
accurate heading:

  - Accurate calibration of the magnetometer hardware so that reliable
    measurements can be taken.
  - Knowledge of the pitch and roll of of device, so that the correct
    components of the X/Y and Z axis sensors of the magnetomer can be used
    to sense the magnetic field in a horizontal plane regardless of the tilt
    of the device.

This commit represent changes to the MicroBitAccelerometer and MicroBitCompass
classes to implemen tthese goals. More specifically, this commit provides:

 - The introduciton of an interactive calibration 'game', that can rapidly
   gather all the data required to calibrate the compass.

 - An improved calibration algorithm based on a Least Mean Squares approach of
   compass samples, as documened in Freescale Application Note AN4248.

 - The inclusion of a simple Matrix4 class to enable efficient Least Mean
   Squares implementation.

 - A change from asynchronous to synchronous calibration of the compass when
   first used. This is in repsonse to a feature request for this from users
   and high level languages using microbit-dal.

 - Support for detemrining tilt and roll angle in MicroBitAccelerometer

 - Support for multiple co-ordinate spaces in MicroBitAccelerometer and
   MicroBitCompass. Data can now be read in either RAW (unaltered) data.
   MICORBIT_SIMPLE_CARTESIAN (as used previously) or NORTH_EAST_DOWN
   (the industry convention in mobile phones, tablets and aviation)

 - Implementation of a tilt compensated algorithm, used when determining
   device heading.
