## Building
### Debian-based systems (tested on Ubuntu 19.10)
- install git, clone this repository
- install [rustup ](https://rustup.rs/ )
```shell
rustup toolchain install nightly
rustup update
rustup target add thumbv7em-none-eabihf --toolchain nightly
rustup default nightly
cargo build --release
```
2020-03-24 06:42:22 +08:00
The resulting ELF file will be located under `target/thumbv7em-none-eabihf/release/thermostat`
2020-03-24 06:03:58 +08:00
2020-12-07 07:21:09 +08:00
## Debugging
Connect SWDIO/SWCLK/RST/GND to a programmer such as ST-Link v2.1. Run OpenOCD:
```shell
openocd -f interface/stlink-v2-1.cfg -f target/stm32f4x.cfg
```
You may need to power up the programmer before powering the device.
Leave OpenOCD running. Run the GNU debugger:
```shell
gdb target/thumbv7em-none-eabihf/release/thermostat
(gdb) source openocd.gdb
```
## Flashing
2020-12-09 00:07:48 +08:00
There are several options for performing device firmware upgrade (DFU) on Thermostat. The firmware is an .ELF file.
### dfu-util
This can be done from Linux machine using only micro-USB connector.
([Issue #10 ](https://git.m-labs.hk/M-Labs/thermostat/issues/10))
* Install the DFU USB tool (dfu-util).
* Convert firmware from ELF to BIN: ```arm-none-eabi-objcopy -O binary thermostat.elf thermostat.bin```
* Connect to the Micro USB connector to Thermostat below the RJ45.
* Add jumper to Thermostat v2.0 across 2-pin jumper adjacent to JTAG connector.
* Cycle board power to put it in DFU update mode
* Push firmware to flash: ```dfu-util -a 0 -s 0x08000000:leave -D thermostat.bin```
* Remove jumper
* Cycle power to leave DFU update mode
### st.com DfuSe tool
On a Windows machine install [st.com ](https://st.com ) DfuSe USB device firmware upgrade (DFU) software. [link ](https://www.st.com/en/development-tools/stsw-stm32080.html ).
- add jumper to Thermostat v2.0 across 2-pin jumper adjacent to JTAG connector
- cycle board power to put it in DFU update mode
- connect micro-USB to PC
- use st.com software to upload firmware
- remove jumper
- cycle power to leave DFU update mode
### openocd
2020-12-07 07:21:09 +08:00
```shell
openocd -f interface/stlink-v2-1.cfg -f target/stm32f4x.cfg -c "program target/thumbv7em-none-eabihf/release/thermostat verify reset;exit"
```
2020-03-24 06:03:58 +08:00
## Network
2020-03-24 06:42:22 +08:00
### Connecting
2020-03-24 06:03:58 +08:00
Ethernet, IP: 192.168.1.26/24
Use netcat to connect to port 23/tcp (telnet)
2020-03-24 06:42:22 +08:00
```sh
nc -vv 192.168.1.26 23
```
2020-03-24 06:03:58 +08:00
telnet clients send binary data after connect. Enter \n once to
invalidate the first line of input.
### Reading ADC input
Set report mode to `on` for a continuous stream of input data.
The scope of this setting is per TCP session.

## USB
The firmware includes experimental support for acting as a USB-Serial
peripheral. Debug logging will be sent there by default (unless build
with logging via semihosting.)
**Caveat:** This logging does not flush its output. Doing so would
hang indefinitely if the output is not read by the USB host. Therefore
2020-12-07 07:21:09 +08:00
output will be truncated when USB buffers are full.
2020-10-12 03:08:02 +08:00
## Temperature measurement
Connect the thermistor with the SENS pins of the
device. Temperature-depending resistance is measured by the AD7172
ADC. To prepare conversion to a temperature, set the Beta parameters
for the Steinhart-Hart equation.
Set the base temperature in degrees celsius for the channel 0 thermistor:
```
s-h 0 t0 20
```
Set the resistance in Ohms measured at the base temperature t0:
```
s-h 0 r0 10000
```
Set the Beta parameter:
```
s-h 0 b 3800
```
## Thermo-Electric Cooling (TEC)
2020-12-05 06:19:57 +08:00
- Connect Peltier device 0 to TEC0- and TEC0+.
- Connect Peliter device 1 to TEC1- and TEC1+.
- The GND pin is for shielding not for sinking Peltier currents.

### Limits
Each of the MAX1968 TEC driver has analog/PWM inputs for setting
output limits.
Use the `pwm` command to see current settings and maximum values.
2020-12-08 06:18:44 +08:00
| Limit | Unit | Description |
| --- | :---: | --- |
| `max_v` | Volts | Maximum voltage |
| `max_i_pos` | Amperes | Maximum positive current |
| `max_i_neg` | Amperes | Maximum negative current |
| | Amperes | Output current control (Open-loop mode) |
2020-10-12 03:08:02 +08:00
Example: set the maximum voltage of channel 0 to 1.5 V.
```
pwm 0 max_v 1.5
```
### Open-loop mode
To manually control TEC output current, omit the limit parameter of
the `pwm` command. Doing so will disengage the PID control for that
channel.
Example: set output current of channel 0 to 0 A.
```
pwm 0 0
```
## PID-stabilized temperature control
Set the target temperature of channel 0 to 20 degrees celsius:
```
pid 0 target 20
```
Enter closed-loop mode by switching control of the TEC output current
of channel 0 to the PID algorithm:
```
pwm 0 pid
```

Use the bare `report` command to obtain a single report. Enable
continuous reporting with `report mode on` . Reports are JSON objects
