class UART -- duplex serial communication bus
|
|
=============================================
|
|
|
|
UART implements the standard UART/USART duplex serial communications protocol. At
|
|
the physical level it consists of 2 lines: RX and TX. The unit of communication
|
|
is a character (not to be confused with a string character) which can be 8 or 9
|
|
bits wide.
|
|
|
|
UART objects can be created and initialised using::
|
|
|
|
from pyb import UART
|
|
|
|
uart = UART(1, 9600) # init with given baudrate
|
|
uart.init(9600, bits=8, parity=None, stop=1) # init with given parameters
|
|
|
|
Bits can be 7, 8 or 9. Parity can be None, 0 (even) or 1 (odd). Stop can be 1 or 2.
|
|
|
|
*Note:* with parity=None, only 8 and 9 bits are supported. With parity enabled,
|
|
only 7 and 8 bits are supported.
|
|
|
|
A UART object acts like a stream object and reading and writing is done
|
|
using the standard stream methods::
|
|
|
|
uart.read(10) # read 10 characters, returns a bytes object
|
|
uart.readall() # read all available characters
|
|
uart.readline() # read a line
|
|
uart.readinto(buf) # read and store into the given buffer
|
|
uart.write('abc') # write the 3 characters
|
|
|
|
Individual characters can be read/written using::
|
|
|
|
uart.readchar() # read 1 character and returns it as an integer
|
|
uart.writechar(42) # write 1 character
|
|
|
|
To check if there is anything to be read, use::
|
|
|
|
uart.any() # returns True if any characters waiting
|
|
|
|
*Note:* The stream functions ``read``, ``write`` etc Are new in Micro Python since v1.3.4.
|
|
Earlier versions use ``uart.send`` and ``uart.recv``.
|
|
|
|
Constructors
|
|
------------
|
|
|
|
.. class:: pyb.UART(bus, ...)
|
|
|
|
Construct a UART object on the given bus. ``bus`` can be 1-6, or 'XA', 'XB', 'YA', or 'YB'.
|
|
With no additional parameters, the UART object is created but not
|
|
initialised (it has the settings from the last initialisation of
|
|
the bus, if any). If extra arguments are given, the bus is initialised.
|
|
See ``init`` for parameters of initialisation.
|
|
|
|
The physical pins of the UART busses are:
|
|
|
|
- ``UART(4)`` is on ``XA``: ``(TX, RX) = (X1, X2) = (PA0, PA1)``
|
|
- ``UART(1)`` is on ``XB``: ``(TX, RX) = (X9, X10) = (PB6, PB7)``
|
|
- ``UART(6)`` is on ``YA``: ``(TX, RX) = (Y1, Y2) = (PC6, PC7)``
|
|
- ``UART(3)`` is on ``YB``: ``(TX, RX) = (Y9, Y10) = (PB10, PB11)``
|
|
- ``UART(2)`` is on: ``(TX, RX) = (X3, X4) = (PA2, PA3)``
|
|
|
|
Methods
|
|
-------
|
|
|
|
.. method:: uart.init(baudrate, bits=8, parity=None, stop=1, \*, timeout=1000, timeout_char=0, read_buf_len=64)
|
|
|
|
Initialise the UART bus with the given parameters:
|
|
|
|
- ``baudrate`` is the clock rate.
|
|
- ``bits`` is the number of bits per character, 7, 8 or 9.
|
|
- ``parity`` is the parity, ``None``, 0 (even) or 1 (odd).
|
|
- ``stop`` is the number of stop bits, 1 or 2.
|
|
- ``timeout`` is the timeout in milliseconds to wait for the first character.
|
|
- ``timeout_char`` is the timeout in milliseconds to wait between characters.
|
|
- ``read_buf_len`` is the character length of the read buffer (0 to disable).
|
|
|
|
*Note:* with parity=None, only 8 and 9 bits are supported. With parity enabled,
|
|
only 7 and 8 bits are supported.
|
|
|
|
.. method:: uart.deinit()
|
|
|
|
Turn off the UART bus.
|
|
|
|
.. method:: uart.any()
|
|
|
|
Return ``True`` if any characters waiting, else ``False``.
|
|
|
|
.. method:: uart.read([nbytes])
|
|
|
|
Read characters. If ``nbytes`` is specified then read at most that many bytes.
|
|
|
|
*Note:* for 9 bit characters each character takes two bytes, ``nbytes`` must
|
|
be even, and the number of characters is ``nbytes/2``.
|
|
|
|
Return value: a bytes object containing the bytes read in. Returns ``b''``
|
|
on timeout.
|
|
|
|
.. method:: uart.readall()
|
|
|
|
Read as much data as possible.
|
|
|
|
Return value: a bytes object.
|
|
|
|
.. method:: uart.readchar()
|
|
|
|
Receive a single character on the bus.
|
|
|
|
Return value: The character read, as an integer. Returns -1 on timeout.
|
|
|
|
.. method:: uart.readinto(buf[, nbytes])
|
|
|
|
Read bytes into the ``buf``. If ``nbytes`` is specified then read at most
|
|
that many bytes. Otherwise, read at most ``len(buf)`` bytes.
|
|
|
|
Return value: number of bytes read and stored into ``buf``.
|
|
|
|
.. method:: uart.readline()
|
|
|
|
Read a line, ending in a newline character.
|
|
|
|
Return value: the line read.
|
|
|
|
.. method:: uart.write(buf)
|
|
|
|
Write the buffer of bytes to the bus. If characters are 7 or 8 bits wide
|
|
then each byte is one character. If characters are 9 bits wide then two
|
|
bytes are used for each character (little endian), and ``buf`` must contain
|
|
an even number of bytes.
|
|
|
|
Return value: number of bytes written.
|
|
|
|
.. method:: uart.writechar(char)
|
|
|
|
Write a single character on the bus. ``char`` is an integer to write.
|
|
Return value: ``None``.
|
|
|
|
.. method:: uart.sendbreak()
|
|
|
|
Send a break condition on the bus. This drives the bus low for a duration
|
|
of 13 bits.
|
|
Return value: ``None``.
