**** THIS IS UNDER CONSTRUCTION, NOT FIT FOR COMMON USE RIGHT NOW ****

The parts that are working can be inferred from the demos.

HwCpp (Hardware-C++) is a header-only C++ close-to-the-hardware library for writing micro-controller applications. It uses modern C++ features (C++17 and concepts) to enable efficient code re-use. It relies heavily on unicorns.

The typical blink-a-LED application using HwCpp is:

#include "hwcpp.hpp"

using target = hwcpp::target<>;
using timing = target::waiting;

int main(){ 
   hwcpp::blink< target::led, timing::ms< 200 > >();
}

(This assumes that the target has a default LED, which is the case for the usual suspects like the Arduino Uno, Arduino Due and Blue Pill boards.)

Subdirectories:

  • attic : junk from that past that I might need one time
  • demo : demonstration projects, organized by target
  • include : the peripheral chips supported by the library
  • tests : tests, organized by target

Files:

  • license_1_0.txt : boost license
  • hwcpp-documentation.docx : HwCpp documentation
  • Makefile.inc : add the settings for this library (for bmptk)
  • Makefile.link : build dependencies on other libraries and bmptk
  • readme.md : this file

The compilers I currently use are (gcc 7.2.0):

  • backpack is not a shield, "modules"??
  • fanout moet gebufferd -> done, check
  • port_from_buffers now only oc, needs pins
  • stm32 uart, adc, full-speed
  • avr return -> 2 sources kan niet meer
  • re-create duplicate concept problem
  • arduino uno longer waits take 8-byte arithmetic, even when constant
  • concepts for duration are not complete
  • concepts for box builder parameter
  • format STM32 HAL
  • sam8 restore timing
  • usae auto instead of _vt for reading
  • stream-object strlen should be from c lib
  • stream builder should use _box_builder
  • dummies and variable versions for adc and dac
  • port-from-pins: terminology for 'recurse'?
  • use dummies as recursion endpoints
  • immplement pin-variables (or => box?)
  • port-fixed, or should that be part of box?
  • concept for a box-foundation?
  • fanout< pin... > now has a write function :(
  • box creator => bs creator??
  • relation between blocking and buffering?
  • macro for the no-inline specializations? also for buffering, invert, creators
  • targets should have multiple-inclusion guards?
  • strakkere naamgeving voor is_*, roots, larva's, creators
  • automagic run at end of main
  • allocate list of callbacks
  • what does refresh() mean for a stream?
  • lcd 16x2 separate test
  • ostream negative int formatting is weird (neg / %)
  • pull-up / pull-down < resistance? >
  • rescale an interval box to a new scale
  • box creator 149 unneedeed
  • adapt oc pin to in-out
  • flatten == inline inside a function
  • the box adapters (in_out => out) set the dircetion, but NOT DIRECT
  • tests for non-existing-ness
  • re-rechk INLINE, should inits be ALWAYS_INLINE at all (maybe never)?
  • box buffered/direct : can't be done on top of each other....
  • box : fixed value, variable / reference ?, select, combine, moving_average
  • box : average, limit, add, multiply, scale, linear_transform
  • invert heeft nix met box te maken, kan ook voor stream ;)
  • tabs => spaces
  • thing that you decorate => minion
  • use MHz etc for target frequencies?
  • verder met box-adapters (welke precies mogen blijft aan de concrete boxes)
  • file pin-utilities for things that trivally inherit from box
  • dummies now need the pin adapters (or make that box adapters??)
  • likewise for var-store
  • target at328p should use usbaspd
  • need a reverse-invert for non-idem-reversible ones?
  • pcf8591 => test with resistors

  • a way to bundle pins without making the object? (for optional parts like on the JS shield)
  • switch to other joystick shield, needs more distinctive name
  • put or putc ? => write
  • get from stream can use 'none' value, or maybe std::optional?
  • due pin should disable adc of that pin
  • bmptk has a problem with G++ := as was used in arduino uno
