Alcor6L/eLua/pio

Overview

This module contains functions for accessing the CPU's PIO (Programmable Input Output) pins. It contains two set of functions with identical names and behaviour. One set groups the functions used to access individual pins from ports, the other groups the functions used to access full ports.

With the pio module, you specifiy names of ports as they appear in your eLua's CPU datasheet. For example, if your CPU's ports are named PA, PB and PC, you can refer to them using pio.PA, pio.PB and pio.PC, respectively. If your CPU uses P0, P1, P2 instead of PA, PB and PC, you can simply use pio.P0, pio.P1 and pio.P2 instead.

You can also refer to individual pins instead of ports. With the same notation as above, pio.PA_0 refers to the first pin of port PA, pio.P0_15 refers to the 16th pin of port P0 and so on.

Functions

• port1 - the first port
• port2 (optional) - the second port
• portn (optional) - the n-th port

Returns: The value(s) of the port(s)

pio.port.sethigh

Set port(s) to all 1 (high)

pio.port.sethigh( port1, port2, ..., portn )

• port1 - the first port
• port2 (optional) - the second port
• portn (optional) - the n-th port

Returns: nothing.

pio.port.setlow

Set port(s) to all 0 (low)

pio.port.setlow( port1, port2, ..., portn )

• port1 - the first port
• port2 (optional) - the second port
• portn (optional) - the n-th port

Returns: nothing.

pio.decode

Convert a PIO resource number to the corresponding port and pin. This is most commonly used in GPIO edge interrupt routines to convert the Lua interrupt routine's argument to the port and pin that caused the interrupt but it can also be used on the values returned by the pin names pio.PA_0, pio.P2_15 and so on.

port, pin = pio.decode( resnum )

• resnum - the resource number of the pin

Returns:

• port - the index of the port, starting from 0 (so port A is 0, port B is 1 and so on)
• pin - the pin number, usually from 0 to 31
