to prevent confusion, made it harder to switch page
accidentially and easier to return to overview
- 2 rotate-clicks necessary for status page to switch
- if only one received within timeout it gets switched to default screen
MASSAGE mode is now useable again for now.
(no more random driving and unexpected shaking)
A full rework is still planned.
- Fix setFade method (did not change anything when not writing to nvs)
- joystick/massage:
- reverse motor direction every 2nd cycle to preving driving
- simplify modes (now only FW/REV and LEFT/RIGHT)
- use joystick angle to vary the duty cycle
- optimize delay and duty calculation (min max config)
- drop hysteresis (not much use, just much code)
- fix deceleration being overwritten in nvs at massage mode change (as accel before)
- handle deadlock when handle-loop does not give back mutex (rare but had that once -> restart)
- clear display when changing to mode-select
- clear display when switching status page
- adjust fan time (less on)
- slightly adjust accel/decel/max duty (needs testing)
Tested newly implemented menu on armchair and made several Fixes:
- reduce long delay when changing to menu modes (control handle)
- add unused line to mode select menu, also drop "click to confirm"
- fix and optimize getNextSelectableModeIndex function to get n next (recursive, offset)
- button: clear encoder queue before changing to menu mode
- fix menu immediately exiting on x5 press (missing break)
General:
- Rename control mode MENU to MENU_SETTINGS
- Add new control mode MENU_MODE_SELECT
Button menu:
- change 'long press' to: 'switch to menu mode-select'
- move 'open settings menu' to 5x press
Display:
- display_task: outsource statusScreen to local function
- display_task: also handle MENU_MODE_SELECT control mode
- show display startup message for 2600ms instead of 2000ms
Menu:
- Add functions to handle modeSelect menu to select from a list of allowed modes
(similar to settings main menu)
In any mode except MENU the encoder rotateion selects status screens
Add functions to rotate through available status screens
Aandle rotate encoder event in button menu
Briefly tested this - brake works as intended
- Add config options brakeDecel and brakePauseBefureResume
- control: update brakeStartThresholdDuty at startup
and maxDuty change for each motor
- motorctl: drop/simplify decel boost to brake
(faster deceleration at certain threshold)
When moving the joystick in other direction than driving
the deceleration gets speed up.
The boost scales with how far the stick is in other
direction up to a maximum
Some issues with this approach see notes in code
when moving the joystick in opposite direction the
deceleration gets boosted depending on how large
the opposite target duty is up to a maximum
Needs testing, switching between ROTATE mode might
cause issues
- boost when turning significantly improved driving experience
- display screensaver (timeouts, moving text, brightness)
- bugfixes
- different approach in motorctl implementing different control modes (needs testing)
Stable to use for now, but still WIP due to some bugs
needs optimizations and issues to be fixed before release
Revert change where massage commands were only generated at
joystick change, since it has to be handled
frequently in any case for motors to actually stop after certain time.
Not tested yet
sdkconfig:
- increase encoder dead-time to fix bug where encoder triggered multiple
short pressed events at one press.
E.g. instantly submitted value when entering a menu page sometimes
button:
- decrease input-timeout (long press time) to 500ms same as encoder long-press
- empty encoder queue when changing to MENU
- re-enable or increase joystick scaling to have more resolution at
slower speeds
Add mutex to fix bug motors stay on when mode-change while driving
due to race condition when handle() still executing while mode change
Change joystick scaling parameters
control:
- add mutex to handle() and changemode() to prevent race condition
- outsource handle() method from createHandleLoop()
- change joystick scaling (reduce 'more detail in slower area')
- comments, formatting
Rework joystick command generation
Fix timeout no commands received in motorctl
Successfully tested this state on actual hardware:
turning behavior is significantly improved - does not get slower when turning anymore
joystick:
- add boost of inner tire when turning
- add threshold where ratio snaps to 1
- optimize structure, logging
control:
- rename maxDuty to maxDutyStraight to be more clear
- add methods to change and get new variable RelativeBoostPer for menu item
menu:
- add new item to set maxRelativeBoost config parameter
motorctl:
- fix timeout not working:
previously when not receiving commands for 15s the duty was set to 0 for 1 handle cycle only
As initially planned starting wifi only when needed, at change to HTTP mode.
Tested this on breakout board: ESP32 is not getting hot anymore!
Also optimized timeout: only notify "forgot to turn off" when battery is below certain
threshold (e.g. disable when charger is connected over night)
main:
- dont start wifi at startup anymore
- remove double-initialization of nvs
already initialized in wifi.c, thus removed some code
- optimize comments, logging
control:
- timeout "forgot to turn off": Add battery threshold
- start/stop wifi when switching to/from HTTP mode
wifi:
- split init function to separate functions for NVS and NETIF (more clear in main)
- optimize log output at nvs init (moved from main)
- rename start/stop functions, formatting
Compared to the white-text display used for testing,
the actually used blue-text display does not support
hardware-scrolling (the text was just static)
display:
- Add code that continously scrolls screensaver text 1 character
to the right and wraps the truncating part to the start
- Add option to enable/disable hardware-scrolling if available
control:
- reset timeout on user input only
-> drop reset on changed motor duty
- add timeoutNotifyPowerStillOnMs
-> when forgotten to turn off the power the buzzer
beeps a few times every 30 minutes
- Add/fix JOYSTICK_LOG_IN_IDLE option
remove empty config.hpp
Tested new control modes on actual hardware.
Adjust new code so the modes kind of work now, as proof of concept.
Still needs major optimization and fixes though.
motorctl:
- add config option to disable logging for particular instance
- add some definitions to finetune control modes
- rework current and speed mode, so they actually kind of work
- fix TCS to not cause deadlock motors off
menu:
- add item set motorControlMode (select DUTY, CURRENT, SPEED)
- fix missing item maxDuty
speedsensor: fix return type
very experimental needs testing/debugging,
other control modes can currently be selected by editing the class definition in motorctl.hpp
menu/config
- add menu item to enable/disable traction control system
main: pass ptr to other motor to motor object
speedsensor: add method to get last update time
motorctl: handle loop:
- re-arrange some code sections
- add several methods to get current status (needed from other motor for tcs)
- add sketchy code for different control modes DUTY, CURRENT, SPEED (very basic implementation)
- add experimental code for traction control
