for each of the 18 available gpio frequencies is

.br

.br

.EX

otherwise PI_BAD_USER_GPIO.

.br

.br
If a hardware clock is active on the gpio the reported
real range will be 1000000 (1M).

.br

.br
If hardware PWM is active on the gpio the reported real range
will be approximately 250M divided by the set PWM frequency.

.br

.br

.IP "\fBint set_PWM_frequency(unsigned user_gpio, unsigned frequency)\fP"
.IP "" 4
Set the frequency (in Hz) of the PWM to be used on the gpio.

The selectable frequencies depend upon the sample rate which
may be 1, 2, 4, 5, 8, or 10 microseconds (default 5).  The
sample rate is set when the C pigpio library is started.

.br

.EE

.IP "\fBint get_PWM_frequency(unsigned user_gpio)\fP"
.IP "" 4
Get the frequency of PWM being used on the gpio.

.br

.br

.EX
user_gpio: 0-31.
.br

.EE

.br

.br
For normal PWM the frequency will be that defined for the gpio by
\fBset_PWM_frequency\fP.

.br

.br
If a hardware clock is active on the gpio the reported frequency
will be that set by \fBhardware_clock\fP.

.br

.br
If hardware PWM is active on the gpio the reported frequency
will be that set by \fBhardware_PWM\fP.

.br

.br
Returns the frequency (in hertz) used for the gpio if OK,
otherwise PI_BAD_USER_GPIO.

.IP "\fBint set_servo_pulsewidth(unsigned user_gpio, unsigned pulsewidth)\fP"
.IP "" 4
Start (500-2500) or stop (0) servo pulses on the gpio.

.br

.br

.EX
 user_gpio: 0-31.
.br
pulsewidth: 0 (off), 500 (anti-clockwise) - 2500 (clockwise).
.br

.EE

.br

.br
Returns 0 if OK, otherwise PI_BAD_USER_GPIO, PI_BAD_PULSEWIDTH or
PI_NOT_PERMITTED.

.br

.br
The selected pulsewidth will continue to be transmitted until
changed by a subsequent call to set_servo_pulsewidth.

.br

.br
The pulsewidths supported by servos varies and should probably be
determined by experiment. A value of 1500 should always be safe and
represents the mid-point of rotation.

.br

.br
You can DAMAGE a servo if you command it to move beyond its limits.

.br

.br
OTHER UPDATE RATES:

.br

.br
This function updates servos at 50Hz.  If you wish to use a different
update frequency you will have to use the PWM functions.

.br

.br

.EX
Update Rate (Hz)     50   100  200  400  500
.br
1E6/Hz            20000 10000 5000 2500 2000
.br

.EE

.br

.br
Firstly set the desired PWM frequency using \fBset_PWM_frequency\fP.

.br

.br
Then set the PWM range using \fBset_PWM_range\fP to 1E6/Hz.
Doing this allows you to use units of microseconds when setting
the servo pulsewidth.

.br

.br
E.g. If you want to update a servo connected to gpio 25 at 400Hz

.br

.br

.EX
set_PWM_frequency(25, 400);
.br
set_PWM_range(25, 2500);
.br

.EE

.br

.br
Thereafter use the \fBset_PWM_dutycycle\fP function to move the servo,
e.g. set_PWM_dutycycle(25, 1500) will set a 1500 us pulse.
.br

.IP "\fBint get_servo_pulsewidth(unsigned user_gpio)\fP"
.IP "" 4
Return the servo pulsewidth in use on a gpio.

.br

.br

.EX
user_gpio: 0-31.
.br

.EE

.br

.br
Returns 0 if OK, otherwise PI_BAD_USER_GPIO or PI_NOT_SERVO_GPIO.

.IP "\fBint notify_open(void)\fP"
.IP "" 4
Get a free notification handle.

.br

.br
Returns a handle greater than or equal to zero if OK,
otherwise PI_NO_HANDLE.

.br

.br
A notification is a method for being notified of gpio state
changes via a pipe.

.br

.br
Pipes are only accessible from the local machine so this function
serves no purpose if you are using the library from a remote machine.
The in-built (socket) notifications provided by \fBcallback\fP
should be used instead.

.br

.br
Notifications for handle x will be available at the pipe
named /dev/pigpiox (where x is the handle number).
E.g. if the function returns 15 then the notifications must be
read from /dev/pigpio15.

.IP "\fBint notify_begin(unsigned handle, uint32_t bits)\fP"
.IP "" 4
Start notifications on a previously opened handle.

.br

.br

.EX
handle: 0-31 (as returned by \fBnotify_open\fP)
.br
  bits: a mask indicating the gpios to be notified.
.br

.EE

.br

.br
Returns 0 if OK, otherwise PI_BAD_HANDLE.

.br

.br
The notification sends state changes for each gpio whose
corresponding bit in bits is set.

.br

.br
Notes

.br

.br
Each notification occupies 12 bytes in the fifo as follows:

.br

.br

.EX
H (16 bit) seqno
.br
H (16 bit) flags
.br
I (32 bit) tick
.br
I (32 bit) level
.br

.EE

.IP "\fBint notify_pause(unsigned handle)\fP"
.IP "" 4
Pause notifications on a previously opened handle.

.br

.br

.EX
handle: 0-31 (as returned by \fBnotify_open\fP)
.br

.EE

.br

.br
Returns 0 if OK, otherwise PI_BAD_HANDLE.

.br

.br
Notifications for the handle are suspended until
\fBnotify_begin\fP is called again.

.IP "\fBint notify_close(unsigned handle)\fP"
.IP "" 4
Stop notifications on a previously opened handle and
release the handle for reuse.

.br

.br

.EX
handle: 0-31 (as returned by \fBnotify_open\fP)
.br

.EE

.br

.br
Returns 0 if OK, otherwise PI_BAD_HANDLE.

.IP "\fBint set_watchdog(unsigned user_gpio, unsigned timeout)\fP"
.IP "" 4
Sets a watchdog for a gpio.

.br

.br

.EX
user_gpio: 0-31.
.br
  timeout: 0-60000.
.br

.EE

.br

.br
Returns 0 if OK, otherwise PI_BAD_USER_GPIO
or PI_BAD_WDOG_TIMEOUT.

.br

.br
The watchdog is nominally in milliseconds.

.br

.br
Only one watchdog may be registered per gpio.

.br

.br
The watchdog may be cancelled by setting timeout to 0.

.br

.br
If no level change has been detected for the gpio for timeout
milliseconds any notification for the gpio has a report written
to the fifo with the flags set to indicate a watchdog timeout.

.br

.br
The \fBcallback\fP and \fBcallback_ex\fP functions interpret the flags
and will call registered callbacks for the gpio with level TIMEOUT.

.IP "\fBuint32_t read_bank_1(void)\fP"
.IP "" 4
Read the levels of the bank 1 gpios (gpios 0-31).

.br

gpio is logic 1.  Gpio n has bit value (1<<n).

.IP "\fBuint32_t read_bank_2(void)\fP"
.IP "" 4
Read the levels of the bank 2 gpios (gpios 32-53).

.br
      to be cleared.
.br

.EE

.br

.br
Returns 0 if OK, otherwise PI_SOME_PERMITTED.

.br

.br
A status of PI_SOME_PERMITTED indicates that the user is not
allowed to write to one or more of the gpios.

.IP "\fBint clear_bank_2(uint32_t bits)\fP"
.IP "" 4
Clears gpios 32-53 if the corresponding bit (0-21) in bits is set.

.br

.br

.EX
bits: a bit mask with 1 set if the corresponding gpio is
.br
      to be cleared.
.br

.EE

.br

.br
Returns 0 if OK, otherwise PI_SOME_PERMITTED.

.br

.br
A status of PI_SOME_PERMITTED indicates that the user is not
allowed to write to one or more of the gpios.

.IP "\fBint set_bank_1(uint32_t bits)\fP"

.br

.EE

.br

.br
Returns 0 if OK, otherwise PI_SOME_PERMITTED.

.br

.br
A status of PI_SOME_PERMITTED indicates that the user is not
allowed to write to one or more of the gpios.

.IP "\fBint hardware_clock(unsigned gpio, unsigned clkfreq)\fP"
.IP "" 4
Starts a hardware clock on a gpio at the specified frequency.
Frequencies above 30MHz are unlikely to work.

.br

.EE

.br

.br
Returns 0 if OK, otherwise PI_NOT_PERMITTED, PI_BAD_GPIO,
PI_NOT_HCLK_GPIO, PI_BAD_HCLK_FREQ,or PI_BAD_HCLK_PASS.

.br

.br
The same clock is available on multiple gpios.  The latest
frequency setting will be used by all gpios which share a clock.

.br

.br
The gpio must be one of the following.

.br

.br

.EX
4   clock 0  All models

.br
43  clock 2  Compute module only
.br
44  clock 1  Compute module only (reserved for system use)
.br

.EE

.br

.br
Access to clock 1 is protected by a password as its use will likely
crash the Pi.  The password is given by or'ing 0x5A000000 with the
gpio number.

.IP "\fBint hardware_PWM(unsigned gpio, unsigned PWMfreq, uint32_t PWMduty)\fP"
.IP "" 4
Starts hardware PWM on a gpio at the specified frequency and dutycycle.
Frequencies above 30MHz are unlikely to work.

.br

.br
NOTE: Any waveform started by \fBwave_send_once\fP, \fBwave_send_repeat\fP,
or \fBwave_chain\fP will be cancelled.

.br

.br
This function is only valid if the pigpio main clock is PCM.  The
main clock defaults to PCM but may be overridden when the pigpio
daemon is started (option -t).

.br

.br

.EX

.IP "\fBuint32_t get_current_tick(void)\fP"
.IP "" 4
Gets the current system tick.

.br

.br
Tick is the number of microseconds since system boot.

.br

.br
As tick is an unsigned 32 bit quantity it wraps around after
2**32 microseconds, which is approximately 1 hour 12 minutes.

.br

.br

.IP "\fBuint32_t get_hardware_revision(void)\fP"
.IP "" 4
Get the Pi's hardware revision number.

.br

.br
The hardware revision is the last few characters on the Revision line
of /proc/cpuinfo.

.br

.br
If the hardware revision can not be found or is not a valid
hexadecimal number the function returns 0.

.br

.br
The revision number can be used to determine the assignment of gpios
to pins (see \fBgpio\fP).

.br

.br
There are at least three types of board.

.br

.br
Type 1 boards have hardware revision numbers of 2 and 3.

.br

.br
Type 2 boards have hardware revision numbers of 4, 5, 6, and 15.

\fBwave_add_*\fP functions.

.br

.br
Returns 0 if OK.

.IP "\fBint wave_add_new(void)\fP"
.IP "" 4
This function starts a new empty waveform.  You wouldn't normally need
to call this function as it is automatically called after a waveform is
created with the \fBwave_create\fP function.

.br

.br
Returns 0 if OK.

.IP "\fBint wave_add_generic(unsigned numPulses, gpioPulse_t *pulses)\fP"
.IP "" 4
This function adds a number of pulses to the current waveform.

.br

.br

numPulses: the number of pulses.
.br
   pulses: an array of pulses.
.br

.EE

.br

.br
Returns the new total number of pulses in the current waveform if OK,
otherwise PI_TOO_MANY_PULSES.

.br

.br
The pulses are interleaved in time order within the existing waveform
(if any).

.br

.br
Merging allows the waveform to be built in parts, that is the settings
for gpio#1 can be added, and then gpio#2 etc.

.br

.br
If the added waveform is intended to start after or within the existing
waveform then the first pulse should consist solely of a delay.

.IP "\fBint wave_add_serial(unsigned user_gpio, unsigned baud, unsigned data_bits, unsigned stop_bits, unsigned offset, unsigned numBytes, char *str)\fP"
.IP "" 4
This function adds a waveform representing serial data to the
existing waveform (if any).  The serial data starts offset
microseconds from the start of the waveform.

.br

.br

.EX
user_gpio: 0-31.
.br
     baud: 50-1000000
.br
data_bits: number of data bits (1-32)
.br
stop_bits: number of stop half bits (2-8)
.br
   offset: 0-
.br
 numBytes: 1-
.br
      str: an array of chars.
.br

.EE

.br

.br
Returns the new total number of pulses in the current waveform if OK,
otherwise PI_BAD_USER_GPIO, PI_BAD_WAVE_BAUD, PI_BAD_DATABITS,
PI_BAD_STOP_BITS, PI_TOO_MANY_CHARS, PI_BAD_SER_OFFSET,
or PI_TOO_MANY_PULSES.

.br

.br
NOTES:

.br

.br
The serial data is formatted as one start bit, \fBdata_bits\fP data bits,
and \fBstop_bits\fP/2 stop bits.

.br

.br
It is legal to add serial data streams with different baud rates to
the same waveform.

.br

.br
\fBnumBytes\fP is the number of bytes of data in str.

.br

.br
The bytes required for each character depend upon \fBdata_bits\fP.

.br

.br
For \fBdata_bits\fP 1-8 there will be one byte per character.
.br
For \fBdata_bits\fP 9-16 there will be two bytes per character.
.br
For \fBdata_bits\fP 17-32 there will be four bytes per character.

.IP "\fBint wave_create(void)\fP"
.IP "" 4
This function creates a waveform from the data provided by the prior
calls to the \fBwave_add_*\fP functions.  Upon success a wave id
greater than or equal to 0 is returned, otherwise PI_EMPTY_WAVEFORM,
PI_TOO_MANY_CBS, PI_TOO_MANY_OOL, or PI_NO_WAVEFORM_ID.

.br

.br
The data provided by the \fBwave_add_*\fP functions is consumed by this
function.

.br

.br
As many waveforms may be created as there is space available.  The
wave id is passed to \fBwave_send_*\fP to specify the waveform to transmit.

.br

.br
Normal usage would be

.br

.br
Step 1. \fBwave_clear\fP to clear all waveforms and added data.

.br

.br
Step 2. \fBwave_add_*\fP calls to supply the waveform data.

.br

.br
Step 3. \fBwave_create\fP to create the waveform and get a unique id

.br

.br
Repeat steps 2 and 3 as needed.

.br

.br
Step 4. \fBwave_send_*\fP with the id of the waveform to transmit.

.br

.br
A waveform comprises one or more pulses.  Each pulse consists of a
\fBgpioPulse_t\fP structure.

.br

.br

.EX
typedef struct
.br
{
.br
   uint32_t gpioOn;
.br
   uint32_t gpioOff;
.br
   uint32_t usDelay;
.br
} gpioPulse_t;
.br

.EE

.br

.br
The fields specify

.br

.br
1) the gpios to be switched on at the start of the pulse.
.br
2) the gpios to be switched off at the start of the pulse.
.br
3) the delay in microseconds before the next pulse.
.br

.br

.br
Any or all the fields can be zero.  It doesn't make any sense to
set all the fields to zero (the pulse will be ignored).

.br

.br
When a waveform is started each pulse is executed in order with the
specified delay between the pulse and the next.

.br

.br
Returns the new waveform id if OK, otherwise PI_EMPTY_WAVEFORM,
PI_NO_WAVEFORM_ID, PI_TOO_MANY_CBS, or PI_TOO_MANY_OOL.

.IP "\fBint wave_delete(unsigned wave_id)\fP"
.IP "" 4
This function deletes the waveform with id wave_id.

.br

.br

Returns 0 if OK, otherwise PI_BAD_WAVE_ID.

.IP "\fBint wave_send_once(unsigned wave_id)\fP"
.IP "" 4
This function transmits the waveform with id wave_id.  The waveform
is sent once.

.br

.IP "" 4
This function transmits a chain of waveforms.

.br

.br
NOTE: Any hardware PWM started by \fBhardware_PWM\fP will be cancelled.

.br

.br
The waves to be transmitted are specified by the contents of buf
which contains an ordered list of \fBwave_id\fPs and optional command
codes and related data.

.br

.br

.EX
    buf: pointer to the wave_ids and optional command codes
.br
bufSize: the number of bytes in buf
.br

.EE

.br

.br
Returns 0 if OK, otherwise PI_CHAIN_NESTING, PI_CHAIN_LOOP_CNT, PI_BAD_CHAIN_LOOP, PI_BAD_CHAIN_CMD, PI_CHAIN_COUNTER,
PI_BAD_CHAIN_DELAY, PI_CHAIN_TOO_BIG, or PI_BAD_WAVE_ID.

.br

.br
Each wave is transmitted in the order specified.  A wave may
occur multiple times per chain.

.br

.br
A blocks of waves may be transmitted multiple times by using
the loop commands. The block is bracketed by loop start and
end commands.  Loops may be nested.

.br

.br
Delays between waves may be added with the delay command.

.br

.br
The following command codes are supported:

.br

.br
Name           Cmd & Data   Meaning

.br
Loop Start     255 0        Identify start of a wave block

.br
Loop Repeat    255 1 x y    loop x + y*256 times

.br
Delay          255 2 x y    delay x + y*256 microseconds

.br
Loop Forever   255 3        loop forever

.br

.br

.br
If present Loop Forever must be the last entry in the chain.

.br

.br
The code is currently dimensioned to support a chain with roughly
600 entries and 20 loop counters.
