Prerequisites

To use the code in this repo, your system must be set up for RP2040 C/C++ and FreeRTOS development. See this blog post of "smittytone" for setup details.

Usage

1. Clone the repo: git clone https://github.com/smittytone/RP2040-FreeRTOS.
2. Enter the repo: cd FreeRTOS-PICO.
3. Install the submodules: git submodule update --init --recursive.
4. Edit CMakeLists.txt and /<Application>/CMakeLists.txt to rename the project.
5. Optionally, manually configure the build process: cmake -S . -B build/.
6. Optionally, manually build the app: cmake --build build.
7. Connect your device so it’s ready for file transfer.
8. Install the app (I use the Drag and Drop process described in the pico-sdk documentation)

The Apps

This repo includes a number of deployable apps.

App One: App-Keyer

This C app is a Morse Code CW Keyer used by Radio Amateurs to automatically transmit a repeated message in Morse Code. A number of messages can be stored and selected by switches. The code shows three switches to select up to eight messages. A Seven Segment LED module shows the message number and two LED dots blink in response to the morse code being sent.

App Two: App-Shuffle

This C app is a programming exercise to create a shuffle function. It can be set to shuffle any length character string (as shown it shuffles a complete Alphabet). It is controlled by two switches which are debounced in separate RTOS tasks. The output is displayed in the Minicom terminal App which is controlled by VT100 codes. The display shows how to use the switches to command the function.

App Three: App-TxtCtl

This FreeRTOS C app is a programming exercise to create a Control function responding to text input from a PS2 Keyboard. An RTOS task reads the Keyboard with the RP2040 pio function in Common/PS2.c It commands LEDs in a seven segment display to blink. The Keyboard code is Based on PS2Keyboard

App Four: App-CWKeyer

This FreeRTOS C app is a Morse Code CW Keyer used by Radio Amateurs to automatically transmit a repeated message in Morse Code. A number of messages can be stored and selected by switches. The code shows three switches to select up to eight messages. A Seven Segment LED module shows the message number. An LED blinks in response to the morse code being sent. This version of App-Keyer adds PS2 Keyboard input of a Message String in phrase No. 7. Enter the string while strings 0-6 are being output. The PS2 Keyboard is being managed by a PIO input.

App Five: App-CWTeach

This FreeRTOS C app is a Morse Code CW Keyer used by Radio Amateurs to automatically transmit a repeated message in Morse Code. A number of messages can be stored and selected by switches. The code shows three switches to select up to eight messages. A Seven Segment LED module shows the active message number. An LED blinks in response to the morse code being sent. This version of App-Keyer adds a Message String random generated alphabet and numbers inserted into phrase No. 7 (The eighth phrase). To initialize the randomize process, two presses of the switch on Port 4 of the GPIO expander sets the initial random number. Then press the switch to put a new randomized string in phrase No. 7. The PS2 Keyboard is not implemented for this app.

App Six: App-CWShuffle

This FreeRTOS C app is a Morse Code CW Keyer used by Radio Amateurs to automatically transmit a repeated message in Morse Code. A number of messages can be stored and selected by switches. The code shows a select phrase task to select up to seven messages. A Seven Segment LED module shows the active message number. An LED blinks and an audio tone sounds in response to the morse code being sent. This version of App-Keyer adds a task to Shuffle the Message String selected before sending it to the CW generating task. To initialize the randomize process, two presses of a switch sets the initial random number. A new randomized string is selected by the phrase select task. The PS2 Keyboard is not implemented for this app. The strings are Hard coded in the Shuffle task. A PIO function is used to generate a 600 Hz square wave as a tone oscillator. A discrete component NAND gate is given inputs from the Tone output GPIO and the CW code GPIO output. The Code signal gates the square wave tone to output the audio Morse signal. The blink.pio code is taken directly from pico-examples/pio/pio-blink.

Common-Feather: Seven_seg.c

This code configures the Seven Segment LED module and displays the number (HEX or Decimal) sent to it from an AdaFruit Feather RP2040. My LED Module has two dots. If your module has no dots or just one, you can use separate LEDs.

Common: Seven_seg.c

This code configures the Seven Segment LED module and displays the number (HEX or Decimal) sent to it by a Raspberry Pi PICO . My LED Module has two dots. If your module has no dots or just one, you can use separate LEDs. Uses the pcf8575 i2c GPIO Extender

Common: ps2.c

This code initializes, then manages the PS2 Keyboard input, decoding the keyboard scan codes and providing an ASCII character output. This code can be called by an RTOS task. This code is Based on PS2Keyboard

Common: pcf8575.c

This code initializes, then manages the pcf8575 port extender, driving the seven segment LED and providing input ports.
