Can an Arduino handle both an interrupt and Timer1 function? - arduino

I would like to build and program a speed controller form an angle grinder with an arduino. Therefore i bought a Motor Speed Controller Module (it has a potentiometer on it which i will replace with an analog output of my arduino) and an infrared obstacle avoidance module (it can also be used form rpm measuring).
The arduino should measure the rotation speed of the shaft using the sensor (I therefore use an Interrupt function in the code).
That rpm value is then being passed to a controller I calculated (the controller runs with a Timer1 function, to keep the cycle time constant) and a analog output is used to pass the calculated value to the Motor Speed Controller. Also the actual speed of the angle grinder is then being displayed on a I2C display.
Now my question is if the arduino is capable of running both an Interrupt and a Timer1 function at the same time, or will they interfere with each other?
(The values of the Controller have been tested using Winfact's Boris)

Timer1:
Timer1 is a 16bit timer.
In the Arduino world the Servo library uses timer1 on Arduino Uno
Pins 9 and 10: controlled by timer1
Timer2:
Timer2 is a 8bit timer like timer0.
In the Arduino work the tone() function uses timer2.
Pins 11 and 3: controlled by timer2
Details: https://www.robotshop.com/community/forum/t/arduino-101-timers-and-interrupts/13072
I also use a RPM control based on sensor values, but used only functions for the timer1 I partly rewrote/extended. So far no problems.
Timer1 uses interrupts to handle timer overflows so check in the source code wether this might be a problem for your application,

Controlling DC motor using encoder

I'm trying to control the speed of two DC motors using an Arduino Uno and encoders that are connected to the motors.
I've written a code to check whether there's a change in the position of the encoder and according to that calculate the velocity of the motors.
Ive used this website for the code:
I'm having problems when calculating the difference between the new position of the encoder and the old position of the encoder. For some reason that difference keeps going up even though the speed stays the same.
This is my code so far:
#define pwmLeft 10
#define pwmRight 5
#define in1 9
#define in2 8
#define in3 7
#define in4 6
//MOTOR A
int motorSpeedA = 100;
static int pinA = 2; // Our first hardware interrupt pin is digital pin 2
static int pinB = 3; // Our second hardware interrupt pin is digital pin 3
volatile byte aFlag = 0; // let's us know when we're expecting a rising edge on pinA to signal that the encoder has arrived at a detent
volatile byte bFlag = 0; // let's us know when we're expecting a rising edge on pinB to signal that the encoder has arrived at a detent (opposite direction to when aFlag is set)
volatile long encoderPos = 0; //this variable stores our current value of encoder position. Change to int or uin16_t instead of byte if you want to record a larger range than 0-255
volatile long oldEncPos = 0; //stores the last encoder position value so we can compare to the current reading and see if it has changed (so we know when to print to the serial monitor)
volatile long reading = 0; //somewhere to store the direct values we read from our interrupt pins before checking to see if we have moved a whole detent
//MOTOR B
static int pinC = 12; // Our first hardware interrupt pin is digital pin 2
static int pinD = 33; // Our second hardware interrupt pin is digital pin 3
volatile byte cFlag = 0; // let's us know when we're expecting a rising edge on pinA to signal that the encoder has arrived at a detent
volatile byte dFlag = 0; // let's us know when we're expecting a rising edge on pinB to signal that the encoder has arrived at a detent (opposite direction to when aFlag is set)
volatile long encoderPosB = 0; //this variable stores our current value of encoder position. Change to int or uin16_t instead of byte if you want to record a larger range than 0-255

}
The two if statements are just made to check that the encoders are working properly. In the first if statement I'm trying to do the calculations of the velocity.
I would appreciate any feedback.
Thank you.
EDIT:
I found out theres an encoder library which makes everything a lot easier.
so now my code looks like this:
#include <Encoder.h>
#define pwmLeft 10
#define pwmRight 5
Encoder myEncA(3, 2);
Encoder myEncB(13, 12);
unsigned long oldtimeA = 0;
unsigned long oldtimeB = 0;
int speedA = 100;
int speedB = 130;
void setup() {
Serial.begin(9600);
digitalWrite (8, HIGH);
digitalWrite (9, LOW); //LOW
digitalWrite (7, LOW); //LOW
digitalWrite (6, HIGH);
pinMode (pwmLeft, OUTPUT);
pinMode (pwmRight, OUTPUT);
}
long oldPositionA = -999;
long oldPositionB = -999;
void loop() {
analogWrite(pwmLeft, speedA);
analogWrite(pwmRight, speedB);
long newPositionA = myEncA.read();
long newPositionB = myEncB.read();
if ((newPositionA != oldPositionA) || (newPositionB != oldPositionB)) {
unsigned long newtimeA = millis ();
long positionA = newPositionA - oldPositionA;
long positionB = newPositionB - oldPositionB;
long velB = (positionB) / (newtimeA - oldtimeA);
long velA = (positionA) / (newtimeA - oldtimeA);
oldtimeA = newtimeA;
oldPositionA = newPositionA;
oldPositionB = newPositionB;
Serial.println(velB);
}
}
I am still having problems with my "B" motor, the calculation is still way off for some reason.
Motor "A" works fine
A couple of issues, including a divide by zero error in loop(). This scan cause a reset of your controller. Always check the value of the divisor when doing a division!
Using only positive transitions unnecessarily reduces the resolution of your readings by 2.
The Arduino is an 8bit controller... Reading an int requires multiple instruction, which means you should disable interrupts before reading an int that's modified by an interrupt routine. Failure to do so will cause odd jumps in the vakue read. This is usually done like this:
//...
NoInterrupts();
int copyOfValue = value; // use the copy to work with.
interrupts();
//...
In your case, a single byte value is likely enough to store movement, with a reset every 30 ms, this should give you a top speed of 255 pulses/30ms = 8500 pulses/second or 1275000 rpm for a 24 ticks/turn encoder. :) in that case, no need to disable interrupts for a reading.
with one reading per 30ms, 1 tick /30ms = 33 tick/seconds, or 85 RPM. It's a bit high for motion. You may need to average readings, depending on your application.
Also, the algorithm you are using will definitely not work. The main reason is that the delay between reads and adjustments is too small. Most readings will be of zero. You will run into the problem when removing the println() calls. I suggest a pacing of at least 30 ms between readings. 100 ms may work a bit better, depending on your application. Using a float variable for speed average will definitely help.
void loop()
{
//...
if(oldEncPos != encoderPos) {
newtime = millis();
tempPos = encoderPos - oldEncPos;
vel = tempPos / (newtime - oldtime); // <-- if newtime == oltime => divide by zero.
//...
}
//...
}
The encoder reading code seems awfully complex...
#define PIN_A 2 // encoder bit 0
#define PIN_B 3 // encoder bit 1
volatile char encVal1;
volatile unsigned char encPos1; // using char
void OnEncoder1Change()
{
char c = (digitalRead(pinA) ? 0b01 : 0)
+ (digitalRead(pinB) ? 0b10 : 0); // read
char delta = (c - encVal1) & 0b11; // get difference, mask
if (delta == 1) // delta is either 1 or 3
++encPos1;
else
--encPos1;
encVal1 = c; // keep reading for next time.
encPos1 += delta; // get position.
// no need to call sei()
}
setup()
{
pinMode(pinA, INPUT_PULLUP);
pinMode(pinB, INPUT_PULLUP);
// get an initial value
encValA = digitalRead(pinA) ? 0b01 : 0;
encValA += digitalRead(pinB) ? 0b10 : 0;
// use digitalPinToInterrupt() to map interrupts to a pin #
// ask for interrupt on change, this doubles .
attachInterrupt(digitalPinToInterrupt(PIN_A), OnEncoder1Change, CHANGE);
attachInterrupt(digitalPinToInterrupt(PIN_B), OnEncoder1Change, CHANGE);
//...
}
unsigned char oldTime;
unsigned char oldPos;
int speed;
void loop()
{
unsigned char time = millis();
if (time - oldTime > 30) // pace readings so you have a reasonable value.
{
unsigned char pos = encPos1;
signed char delta = pos - oldPos;
speed = 1000 * delta) / (time - oldTime); // signed ticks/s
encPos1 -= pos; // reset using subtraction, do you don't miss out
// on any encoder pulses.
oldTime = time;

Arduino Interfacing with Magnetic Pickup

Currently I have a diesel engine with magnetic pickup attached to it. I want to use Arduino (Uno/Nano) to measure engine RPM.
Magnetic Pickup Description: A magnetic pickup is installed over a gear, (most commonly the flywheel inside a vehicle’s bell housing) and as the gear turns the pickup will create an electric pulse for each tooth on the gear. These pulses are then read by the instrument which interprets it to indicate the correct RPMs or speed.The signal from the magnetic speed Sensor, teeth per second(HZ), is directly proportional to engine speed.
Magnetic Pickup Image:
MP - Self Powered
I've tried to rectify the signal using diode then limit the current using a resistor with .1Uf capacitor to filter the noise, then connected it to Optocopler 4N35 and the output from Opto to Arduino interrupt pin, by just observing Arduino interrupt ping is highly affected by surroundings.
Also I have tried to directly connect the magnetic pickup to "A0" pin and use analogue read and connect a led to pin 13 just to monitor the pulses from MP.
int sensorPin = A0;
int ledPin = 13;
int sensorValue = 0;
void setup() {
pinMode(ledPin, OUTPUT);
Serial.begin(9600);
}
void loop() {
// read the value from the sensor:
sensorValue = analogRead(sensorPin);
digitalWrite(ledPin, HIGH);
delay(sensorValue);
digitalWrite(ledPin, LOW);
Serial.println(sensorValue);
Serial.println(" ");
}
Using analogueRead works with the LED as indicator for pulses generated by pickup. (Tested using small motor and small gear to protect Arduino).
Also I tried to use LM139 Comparator but the readings make no sense
(ex: 60 RPM, 1500 RPM,2150 RPM, 7150 RPM).
LM139 Circuit
Code used with LM139:
// read RPM
volatile int rpmcount = 0;
//see http://arduino.cc/en/Reference/Volatile
int rpm = 0;
unsigned long lastmillis = 0;
void setup() {
Serial.begin(9600);
attachInterrupt(0, rpm_fan, RISING);
//interrupt cero (0) is on pin two(2).
}
void loop() {
if (millis() - lastmillis == 500) {
/*Update every one second, this will be equal to reading frequency (Hz).*/
detachInterrupt(0); //Disable interrupt when calculating
rpm = rpmcount * 60;
/* Convert frequency to RPM, note: this works for one interruption per full rotation. For two interrupts per full rotation use rpmcount * 30.*/
Serial.print(rpm); // print the rpm value.
Serial.println(" ");
rpmcount = 0; // Restart the RPM counter
lastmillis = millis(); // Update lastmillis
attachInterrupt(0, rpm_fan, RISING); //enable interrupt
}
}
void rpm_fan() {
/* this code will be executed every time the interrupt 0 (pin2) gets low.*/
rpmcount++;
}

What is the best way or approach to interface a magnetic pickup with Arduino to display RPM?
Your use of analogRead is wrong. Besides, analogRead will not get you anywhere close to what you want to achieve.
What you want from your pickup is a clear 0-5v digital signal. You can obtain that by playing with the input resistor on your opto-coupler. I'd do some measurements, and place a trimpot + resistors on the board do the actual value can be tweaked after the system is installed.
Once you get the electrical signal as clean as you can get, you can the use an interrupt pin on the Arduino to keep count of the number of pulses.
#define SENSOR_PIN (2) // using define instead of variable for constants save memory.
#define LED_PIN (13)
#define READ_DELAY (100) // in milliseconds.
// we'll get a reading every 100ms, so 8 bits are enough to keep
// track of time. You'd have to widen to unsigned int if you want
// READ_DELAY to exceed 255 ms.
//
typedef delay_type unsigned char;
typedef unsigned int counter_type; // You may want to use
// unsigned long, if you
// experience overflows.
volatile counter_type pulseCount = 0; // volatile is important here
counter_type lastCount = 0;
delay_type lastTime = 0;
// pulse interrupt callback, keep short.
void onSensorPulse()
{
++pulseCount;
// the following may already be too long. Use for debugging only
// digitalWrite() and digitalRead() are notoriously slow.
//
//
// digitalWrite(LED_PIN, !digitalRead(LED_PIN));
//
// using fastest direct port access instead. (for ATMega)
//
if (pulseCount & 1)
PORTB |= (1 << PB5);
else
PORTB &= ~(1 << PB5);
}
void setup()
{
pinMode(SENSOR_PIN, INPUT);
attachInterrupt(digitalPinToInterrupt(SENSOR_PIN), onSensorPulse, RISING);
pinMode(ledPin, OUTPUT);
Serial.begin(9600);
}
void loop()
{
// control frequency of readings
//
delay_type now = (delay_type)millis();
if (now - lastTime < READ_DELAY)
{
return;
}
lastTime = now;
// get a reading. must disable interrupts while doing so.
// because pulseCount is multi-bytes.
//
noInterrupts();
counter_type curCount = pulseCount;
interrupts();
// get the number of pulses since last reading.
//
counter_type delta = curCount - lastCount;
lastCount = curCount;
// to convert to RPMs, you will need to use this formula:
// note the use of long (UL) to avoid overflows in the
// computation. 60000 = miliseconds per minute.
//
// RPM = delta * 60000UL / (READ_DELAY * TEETH_COUNT);
// send delta to client for now.
//
Serial.println(delta);
}

How to obtain a more accurate value for RPM

I am trying to build a rev counter using a Hall effect sensor and an Arduino Uno. I'm using Arduino software and I have wrote the following code:
#include <LiquidCrystal.h>
int sensorPin = 2; // hall effect
float revs;
float rpm;
volatile byte rpmcount;
long previousmicros = 0;
long interval = 500000;
LiquidCrystal lcd(12, 11, 6, 5, 4, 3);
void setup()
{
// setup serial - diagnostics - port
Serial.begin(115200);
// setup pins
pinMode(sensorPin, INPUT);
// setup interrupt
attachInterrupt(0, RPM, RISING);
}
void RPM()
{
rpmcount++;
}
void loop()
{
unsigned long currentmicros = micros();
int sensorValue = digitalRead(sensorPin); // sensor value is read
if (currentmicros - previousmicros > interval)
{
previousmicros = currentmicros;
detachInterrupt(0);
revs=10.0/rpmcount;
rpm =600.0/revs;
Serial.print("rpmcount : ");
Serial.print(rpmcount);
Serial.print(" rpm : ");
Serial.println(rpm);
lcd.clear();
lcd.begin(16, 2);
lcd.print("RPM = ");
lcd.setCursor(6,0);
lcd.print(rpm,0);
rpmcount=0;
attachInterrupt(0, RPM, RISING);
}
}
This works and measures the RPM correctly however the value is always a factor of 60. How can I change this so that it will measure the RPM more accurately, to say +-5 RPM? I tried playing about with my revs and rpm formulas but had little success.
Right now you have
rpm =60.0*rpmcount;
You will have to store the count over a longer time and calculate the value from that (or change how often loop is run)
In the ISR instead of increment a count, compute the amount of time elapsed since the last ISR fire.
unsigned long someArray[2] = {0,0};
unsigned char rpmindex = 0;
void RPM_isr()
{
rpmindex ^= 1;
someArray[rpmindex] = micros();
}
// And then in the main body
{
// Disable interrupts
// Copy someArray to a localArray
// reEnable interrupts
// Compute the interval between ISR fires
unsigned long interval = abs(localArray[0] - localArray[1]);
// Compute RPM
unsigned int rpm = (60*1000000)/interval;
}
Pseudo code interpreted at your own risk.
Edit: For bad math on RPM computation.

Full speed on ITG3200 with Arduino

I am using a ITG3200(Sparkfun breakout board) for my project. I was trying to boost the sample rate of ITG3200 to over 2K HZ. I have already soldered two 2.2K pull-up resistors on the sensor and close the clockin pads. I encountered a few problems here. It was connected to a Arduino Uno.
The highest sample rate I can achieve was around 500 Hz. I have changed the clock to 400K. However, without doing that, I should still get something over 1000 Hz, right? I attached my code below.

500Hz means 2ms for each iteration of your loop() function. Your loop function is reading from Wire and writing to the Serial port, which may take more time than 2ms, depending on what you're sending and what your baud rate is.
Judging from your baud rate (230400), it may take roughly 0.5ms to send each measurement (estimated at 12 characters each) if there is no flow control from the other side. Try writing to serial less frequently to see if your performance goes up.
I tested the serial writes, the I2C port and the clock speed. Found the major issues were the redundant communication to i2c. For instance, the 6 bits data can be read in one round of i2c communication. I refered the code below:
https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ControlEverythingCommunity/ITG3200/master/Arduino/ITG-3200.ino
In addition, using Teensy is also helpful.
The speed of the output was checked by using the oscilloscope with the I2C debug function.

How do I configure an interrupt for the hardware PWM on the Arduino Due?

I'm working on a project on the Arduino Due to make a digital synthesizer. I will use PWM to generate an output wave at the desired notefrequency, and sample the wave at 192kHz.
I am able to get PWM out at the desired frequency and adjust the pulse width (tested with oscilloscope), but I need to configure the interrupt so that I can calculate the next needed PWM value for different types of waves at different audible frequencies (sin, sawtooth, etc.). Each time the interrupt triggers (at 192kHz), a function will calculate the next pulse width value based on the note value (audible frequency).
Here is my code so far. I am able to get the PWM to work, but my dummy code in the interrupt (which turns a pin on and off) does not toggle the pin. I have tested this with an oscilloscope. I know that the problem with the code is the interrupt not triggering/executing properly, because the output pin is set high in the setup code, and that also happens on the oscilloscope. However, the interrupt test pin does not toggle. What am I missing?
uint32_t pwmPin = 8; // PWM output pin
uint32_t channel = g_APinDescription[pwmPin].ulPWMChannel;
uint32_t sampFreq = 192000ul; // sample at 192kHz
uint32_t clkAFreq = 42000000ul;
uint32_t pwmFreq = (clkAFreq * 2)/sampFreq;
uint16_t dutyPercent = 50;
uint16_t dutyAct = pwmFreq * (100-dutyPercent) / 100;
void setup() {
// put your setup code here, to run once:
pinMode(5, OUTPUT); // interrupt test pin
pmc_enable_periph_clk(PWM_INTERFACE_ID);
PWMC_ConfigureClocks(clkAFreq, 0, VARIANT_MCK);
PIO_Configure(
g_APinDescription[pwmPin].pPort,
g_APinDescription[pwmPin].ulPinType,
g_APinDescription[pwmPin].ulPin,
g_APinDescription[pwmPin].ulPinConfiguration);
//uint32_t
channel = g_APinDescription[pwmPin].ulPWMChannel;
PWMC_ConfigureChannel(PWM_INTERFACE, channel, clkAFreq, 0, 0);
PWMC_SetPeriod(PWM_INTERFACE, channel, pwmFreq);
PWMC_EnableChannel(PWM_INTERFACE, channel);
PWMC_SetDutyCycle(PWM_INTERFACE, channel, dutyAct);
PWMC_EnableChannelIt(PWM_INTERFACE, channel);
dutyPercent = 50; //square wave
}
void loop() {
// put your main code here, to run repeatedly:
}
void PWM_Handler() // this is what I looked up in startup_sam4s.c
{
int i; //
digitalWrite(5, HIGH); // toggle pin
i++; // delay a little
digitalWrite(5, LOW); // toggle pin
}
For anyone who stumbles across this, here is how I got the interrupt to work:
uint32_t totalTime = 0; // total elapsed time
uint32_t pwmPin = 8; // PWM output pin
uint32_t irqPin = 5; // interrupt test pin
uint32_t channel = g_APinDescription[pwmPin].ulPWMChannel; // set channel for PWM out
uint32_t sampFreq = 192000ul; // sampling frequency (Hz)
uint16_t maxDutyCount = 255;
uint32_t clkAFreq = 42000000ul; // clock frequency (Hz)
uint32_t pwmFreq = (clkAFreq * 2)/sampFreq; // calculate PWM frequency
uint16_t dutyPercent = 128; // starting duty percent
uint16_t dutyAct = pwmFreq * (maxDutyCount-dutyPercent) / maxDutyCount; //
void setup() {
// put your setup code here, to run once:
pinMode(irqPin, OUTPUT);
pmc_enable_periph_clk(PWM_INTERFACE_ID);
PWMC_ConfigureClocks(clkAFreq, 0, VARIANT_MCK);
PIO_Configure(
g_APinDescription[pwmPin].pPort,
g_APinDescription[pwmPin].ulPinType,
g_APinDescription[pwmPin].ulPin,
g_APinDescription[pwmPin].ulPinConfiguration);
channel = g_APinDescription[pwmPin].ulPWMChannel; // channel 5
PWMC_ConfigureChannel(PWM_INTERFACE, channel, clkAFreq, 0, 0);
PWMC_SetPeriod(PWM_INTERFACE, channel, pwmFreq);
PWMC_EnableChannel(PWM_INTERFACE, channel);
PWMC_SetDutyCycle(PWM_INTERFACE, channel, dutyAct);
PWM_INTERFACE->PWM_IER1 = 0x20; //enable interrupt on channel 5
PWM_INTERFACE->PWM_IDR1 = 0xFFFFFFDF; //enable interrupt on channel 5
PWM_INTERFACE->PWM_IER2 = 0x00002001; //enable interrupt on channel 5
PWM_INTERFACE->PWM_IDR2 = 0xFFFFDFFE; //enable interrupt on channel 5
NVIC_DisableIRQ(PWM_IRQn); // set up interrupt
NVIC_ClearPendingIRQ(PWM_IRQn);
NVIC_SetPriority(PWM_IRQn, 0);
NVIC_EnableIRQ((IRQn_Type)36); //NVIC_EnableIRQ(PWM_IRQn);
PWMC_EnableChannel(PWM_INTERFACE, channel);
//Enable of the Interrupts (writing CHIDx and FCHIDx
//in PWM_IER1 register, and writing WRDYE, ENDTXE,
//TXBUFE, UNRE, CMPMx and CMPUx in PWM_IER2 register)
}
void loop() {
}
void PWM_Handler(void) // PWM interrupt handler
{
volatile long dummy = PWM_INTERFACE->PWM_ISR1; // clear interrupt flag
dummy = PWM_INTERFACE->PWM_ISR2; // clear interrupt flag
//your code here!
