Detecting button press / GPIO pulldown with ESP32 and Mongoose OS - esp32

For an ESP32, under Mongoose OS, I’m trying to write some code to detect that a button was pushed (GPIO pin pulled to GND). I wrote the code below, but it constantly prints that the button is pushed, so it thinks the button is always pushed, except when I actually push it. When I push and hold it, the output stops. The button is wired between the GPIO pin and GND, with no pullup resistor since there is an internal pullup. I wonder if my code is wrong and would appreciate your comments, thank you.
I have pasted the relevant code below:
// GPIO 36
#define BTN_MOB 36
#ifdef BTN_MOB
mgos_gpio_set_mode(BTN_MOB, MGOS_GPIO_MODE_INPUT);
#endif
static void button_cb(int pin, void *pParam)
{
if(pin == BTN_MOB)
LOG(LL_INFO, ("***** BUTTON PRESSED\r\n"));
}
mgos_gpio_set_button_handler(BTN_MOB,
MGOS_GPIO_PULL_UP,
MGOS_GPIO_INT_EDGE_NEG,
100 /* debounce ms */,
button_cb, /* callback handler */
NULL); /* arguments to callback handler */

As it turns out, GPIO pins 34, 35, 36 and 39 are actually GPI - input only and have no internal pullup or pulldown resistors. I switched to a different GPIO with internal pullup and this solved the problem.

STM32MP1 linux IRQs & EXTI controller config in DTS file

I'm running a buildroot linux environment on a STM32MP157 dev board. I have a button with an internal pullup on pin B12. I want to fire an interrupt once the line goes low. On other linux boards like the RPi, I've been able to call gpio_to_irq(<gpio#>) and get the IRQ for that pin. Done, simple. However, on this board, there are only 16 external interrupts connected to the EXTI peripheral; they are configurable in a sense that any port may be connected to the EXTI, but the pin numbers cannot overlap. For example GPIO A12 and B12 may NOT be connected to the EXTI at the same time. I have ensured that no other devices are using and GPIO port pin 12.
I have edited my DTS file to reflect that I want my GPIO B12 connected to the EXTI controller. But so far I have had no luck in making that happen. Here is the documentation for the interrupts provided by ST. If someone can explain how to fix the device tree such that I can request the B12 interrupt from my driver I would really appreciate it.
Here's my DTS file:
/dts-v1/;
#include "stm32mp157.dtsi"
#include "stm32mp15xa.dtsi"
#include "stm32mp15-pinctrl.dtsi"
#include "stm32mp15xxac-pinctrl.dtsi"
#include "stm32mp15xx-dkx.dtsi"
/ {
model = "STMicroelectronics STM32MP157A-DK1 Discovery Board";
compatible = "st,stm32mp157a-dk1", "st,stm32mp157";
chosen {
stdout-path = "serial0:115200n8";
};
button {
compatible = "test,button";
input-gpios = <&gpiob 12 (GPIO_ACTIVE_LOW | GPIO_PULL_UP)>; //Works with pull-up once the driver is loaded.
interrupts-extended = <&gpiob 12 IRQ_TYPE_EDGE_FALLING>;
interrupt-names = "qwerty";
status = "okay";
};
led {
extern-led {
compatible = "test,led";
gpios = <&gpiob 10 GPIO_ACTIVE_HIGH>;
linux,default-trigger = "cpu";
};
};
};
I have tried the following:
interrupts-extended = <&exti 28 IRQ_TYPE_EDGE_FALLING>; (This SOC only has 16 pins per GPIO bank, so B12 is global GPIO 28)
interrupts-extended = <&gpiob 12 IRQ_TYPE_EDGE_FALLING>;
interrupt-parent = <&gpiob>;
interrupts = <12
IRQ_TYPE_EDGE_FALLING>;
Lastly, my stretch goal is to be able to request the IRQ by name, from the interrupt-name property in the device tree. Something like request_irq("qwerty"). Is that possible?
EDIT: I have temporarily connected my pushbutton to GPIO A12, and it successfully fires the interrupt, confirming that the EXTI #12 interrupt is connected to GPIO bank A. How can I go about changing this from within the device tree? Thank you in advance.
Okay I have solved this. Apparently iterating through your GPIO pins with the gpio*_to_irq() functions was the problem. When the function was called, the kernel would immediately configure the EXTI interface for that pin. I thought it was defaulting to Port A, but that was actually caused by iterating through all the GPIO pins looking for the interrupt number starting at GPIO 0, aka Port A Pin 0. So by only calling the gpio_to_irq or gpiod_to_irq function for the pins you need, the kernel will properly configure the EXTI interface for the requested pins.

esp32-s3-devkit-c using a seeduino 9dof gyro and accelerometer

so today i tried using my seeduino 9dof with my esp32.
When i tried using the library that seeduino has made it compiled with this error "avr/pgmspace.h no such file or directory”.
I also tried reading the raw i2c data but i only manage to read either a static 1 or 0.
When i tried using the library that seeduino has made it compiled with this error "avr/pgmspace.h no such file or directory”, this led to me changing a line that called pgmspace in the library to this:
#if defined(AVR)
#include <avr/pgmspace.h>
#else //defined(AVR)
#include <pgmspace.h>
#endif //defined(AVR)
which only caused more compiler errors.
After this i tried reading the raw i2c data but did not figure out which pins the esp32 used for i2c since the pinout on the site did not list the i2c pins ( https://docs.espressif.com/projects/esp-idf/en/latest/esp32s3/_images/ESP32-S3_DevKitC-1_pinlayout_v1.1.jpg ), butt i figured out it was 19, 20 (Or every PWM pin?). However, i do get the adress from the WireScan script, but when i try to read the data i only get either 1 or 0 and it stays static.
The wirecheck script does say error 5 at 0x6B but i dont use this adress so shouldn't be a problem?
So my 2 options is to get the library working on the esp32, or figure out the i2c communication?
Thanks for any help i can get.
Also here is the code i use to read the i2c data:
#include <Wire.h>
void setup() {
// put your setup code here, to run once:
Serial.begin(115200);
Wire.begin(21, 20);
pinMode(8, OUTPUT);
digitalWrite(8, HIGH);
}
void loop() {
// put your main code here, to run repeatedly:
Wire.requestFrom(0x69, 6);
float test = Wire.read();
Serial.println(test);
delay(100);
}

How to read a RFID card using MFRC522

I am trying to read a RFID tag/card using MFRC522. I have used the rfid-master library, and trying to read the card using the "dumpinfo" from "examples". but the serial monitor is showing me this-
WARNING: Communication failure, is the MFRC522 properly connected?
and of course not reading any card when I scan them. I have checked the port and it's connected to its legal comm port.
What can be a reason for this communication failure?

Are you the one who soldered the pins of mfrc522? I think you should double check your connection if it was shorted or not. Also if you're using 5v instead of 3.3v it might damage the mfrc522.

PIC 16F628A clears its registers?

System is basic but I have terrible problem and I can not solve it pls help me. When my system works PIC keep running but clear the registers 4-5 times in a day.
How system should work:
-I have a PIC, pneumatic cylinder and 3 sensor(works with 24V DC).
-Main sensor take the signal from another system.
-When a signal came from main sensor, if the cyclinder is backward, cylinder should go to forward until forward sensor see it and if the cylinder is forward, cyclinder should come to backward until backward sensor see it.
Program:
#include <16F628A.h>

And my circuit:
CIRCUIT
*j2,j3 connected selonoid valve
*J4,J5,J6 connected 3 sensors 1. pin +24VDC,2. pin GND, 3.pin sensor data
***B1 and B2 connections changed. Now B1 connected to B5,B2 connected to B4
And These are I tried:
-I have 3 PIC all of them do same thing
-I changed 24V power supply
-I cancelled 7805 and 7812 and I connected seperate 5V power supply istead of 7805.
I am debugging via LEDs. Sometimes system stop running just waiting at one of positions. Take main sensor signal but doesnot anything, And pistonPositionedForward and pistonPositionedBackward register values are 0. I cant find problem how can it clear these registers?
You have unconnected pins on RB that are configured as inputs, with no internal pull ups set. Electrical noise may well trigger unwanted interrupts on PORTB, that has been known to happen.
The use of interrupts is making the overall logic a bit hard to follow for such a simple device. Have you tried rewriting the program NOT using interrupts (except maybe for EXT)? It should not take long and I think it may greatly improve the reliability - and maintainability, without impacting performance of the physical system.
I suggest you first configure the unused PORTA and PORTB pins as outputs, and see if the problem goes away. If that fails, a rewrite not using interrupts should take no more than an hour. This would probably make sense since that is probably way shorter than the time you have already spent chasing the issue.
Reading the description, I came up with this solution.

switch(eeprom_read(EEPROM_STATUS_ADDR))
{
default: // EEPROM error... I'll let you decide what to do here.
// either move forward or back.
// this implementation goes back by default.
eeprom_write(EEPROM_STATUS_ADDR, EEPROM_STATUS_BACK);
disable_interrupts(GLOBAL);
// falling through...
case EEPROM_STATUS_BACK:
output_high(BACK_MOVE);
break;
case EEPROM_STATUS_FWD:
output_high(FWD_MOVE);
break;
}
// activate outputs... watch your fingers!
set_tris_a(PORTA_TRISTATE);
set_tris_b(PORTB_TRISTATE);
extLast = input(EXT_SENSOR);
for (;;)
{
// read external sensor, take action.
extCur = input(EXT_SENSOR);
if (extCur && !extlast)
{
// safety check.
output_low(FWD_MOVE);
output_low(BACK_MOVE);
// control logic
switch(eeprom_read(EEPROM_STATUS_ADDR))
{
default: // should never happen.
// falling through...
case EEPROM_STATUS_BACK:

eeprom_write(EEPROM_STATUS_ADDR, EEPROM_STATUS_BACK);
disable_interrupts(GLOBAL);
break;
}
}
extLast = extCur;
// mechanical interface:
// read the limit guards and stop movement when done.
if (input(FWD_REST))
{
output_low(FWD_MOVE);
}
if (input(BACK_REST))
{
output_low(BACK_MOVE);
}
}
}
Of course, I could not check the above code on-site :).
After reviewing the schematics, I must also advise to add 1N4001 diodes in parallel of the 2 output MOSFETS to give them better protection against reverse voltage spikes. MOSFET built-in diodes are not very sturdy. 1N4148 or 1N914 would work there as well.
The 16F628 has very limited stack space. It looks like you are experiencing stack overflow during the call to write_eeprom. Calling write_eeprom from an interrupt may not be such a good idea after all.
There was a bug in older CCS compilers, related to the use of write_eeprom. It seems write_eeprom is enabling interrupts during the call. I've added calls to disable interrupts after the writes. I don't know if that bug was fixed, since I never use CCS.
[EDIT] after checking your HW. I realized you cannot use internal pull-ups because the HW logic is positive-going. The pull-ups in the PIC are meant to work with NPN transistors in the open collector configuration (emitter to ground). I changed the code accordingly.
The way you write to EEPROM is not good. eeprom writes take time, and the second write is usually taken care of in the eeprom interrupt. The CCS bug that enables the global interrupt and unmask the EEIE in eeprom_write does not help. Unhandled interrupts do generate a reset.

Device Tree GPIO Reset

I'm working on a board based on the iMX6 and am trying to configure a number of GPIOs that are being used as chip enable and reset lines. Based on the research I've done, the way to handle this is via the gpio-reset driver in the device tree. Following the documentation I've come up with the below code which compiles but I'm not sure how to then control these reset lines from user space.
The first device tree driver I used was the gpio-leds which created an leds folder in sys/class with nodes to control the LED. However I don't see anything similar for reset. So I have 2 questions:
1) Is GPIO-RESET the correct binding to use for controlling reset lines, enable lines, etc.
2) Is there documentation on how to handle this and other bindings from user space, similar to how I'm controlling the GPIO-LED?

I'm not exactly sure about the gpio-reset sysfs interface as I couldn't find any information in bindings documentation, but for the normal gpio interface you need to export the gpio before it will show up in /sys/class/gpio/gpio*. Basically you just need to write the number of the gpio you wish to use to the export file underneath /sys/class/gpio. Here is an example of someone doing that. If you're just toggling the gpio on/off that interface should be enough.
Is GPIO-RESET the correct binding to use for controlling reset lines, enable lines, etc.
I have been looking for such a driver too.
I can see that there was a proposal for exactly this:
https://lwn.net/Articles/585145/
but I cannot find it in my kernel version (tracking the 5.4.y releases).
Only in some stale imx6 kernel: https://github.com/samnazarko/linux-imx6/blob/master/Documentation/devicetree/bindings/reset/gpio-reset.txt
So I will either
create a small driver to support the "delayed" function based on the above proposal (time of asserting the reset at boot).
use gpio-led with a default-state. Maybe using the "one-shot" trigger, to provide a single-write API to my apps. (Write once to the sysfs shot file results in a single toggle of the pin for a configurable time.)
Totally handle it from the userspace via libgpio or sysfs. (Maybe combined with gpio-led, to have at least a clearly defined state of the line during boot.)
