Help with RMT RX

[Neuromodulator]

Hello!

I've been trying to use the RMT library but I still can't get it to work as I want. I want to use the whole 512 memory blocks to make some measurements, but I still can't figure how to do that. Just to test the RMT code i connected through a cable pin 4 to pin 21. An ouput signal is generated on pin 4 at different spacing intervals and pin 21 is used with the RMT to measure the high and low state durations of pin 4.

My code is as follows:

Code: Select all

#include "arduino.h"
#include "driver/rmt.h"

rmt_config_t rmt_rx;

void setup()
{
    rmt_rx.rmt_mode = RMT_MODE_RX;
    rmt_rx.channel = RMT_CHANNEL_0;
    rmt_rx.clk_div = 1;
    rmt_rx.gpio_num = GPIO_NUM_21;
    rmt_rx.mem_block_num = 8;
    rmt_rx.rx_config.filter_en = false;
    rmt_rx.rx_config.idle_threshold = 0xffff;;

    rmt_config(&rmt_rx);
    rmt_rx_start(rmt_rx.channel, true);

    pinMode(4, OUTPUT);

    Serial.begin(115200);
}

int count = 0;
unsigned long t = 0;

void loop()
{
    usleep(1 * count);
    digitalWrite(4, 0);
    usleep(2 * count);
    digitalWrite(4, 1);

    if (millis() - t > 500)
    {
        t = millis();
        count = (count + 1) & 0x1F;

        rmt_memory_rw_rst(rmt_rx.channel);

        rmt_item32_t* item = (rmt_item32_t*)RMT_CHANNEL_MEM(rmt_rx.channel);

        printf("H: %d, ",  item->level0 * item->duration0 +  item->level1 * item->duration1);
        printf("L: %d\n", !item->level0 * item->duration0 + !item->level1 * item->duration1);
   }
}

For some reason this code does not work at all, unless "rmt_memory_rw_rst()" is moved out of the loop. What am I doing wrong?

Thanks!

Don't worry, fixed the issue. I was getting to idle and didn't restart the capture.

Would you kindly explain the exact solution to your problem? If RMT goes to idle, it doesn't restart automatically capturing, when new pulses comming in?

Thanks
