Windmill controller logger shield

We can build a Windmill controller and/or logger which monitor the charging regime and also can logg some data regarding to wind speed, windmill rpm and amps, battery voltage, solar panel volts and amps. The harware is heavly based on Piclog, Glenn's Windmill Picaxe logger.

The ADC stuff was presented here so, we are discussing about methods on counting pulses, with or without an USB connection.

1.a Counting pulses on positive edge

On many high level pic programming languages (mainly, Basic languages) we have a specific function for counting pulses. It exist on Picaxe Basic, Proton Basic, Pic Basic, Oshonsoft Basic and probably on others which I'm not aware of them. In Jal we don't have such a function which is based on non-blocking delays. Fortunately, in official package is included a library named "timer0_isr_interval .jal " which is doing exactly that: non-blocking delays. In the header of this lib is included an example of how to set a non-blocking delay. A non-USB example: -C o u n t i n gp u l s e so np o s i t i v ee d g e i n c l u d ef r e e j a l d u i n o 4 . j a l c o n s tt i m e r 0 _ i s r _ r a t e=1 0 0 0-1k H zi s rr a t e c o n s tD E L A Y _ S L O T S=1-w en e e do n l yo n ed e l a ya tat i m e i n c l u d et i m e r 0 _ i s r _ i n t e r v a l t i m e r 0 _ i s r _ i n i t ( )-i n i tt i m e r 0i s r v a rb i tf l a g v a rw o r dc o u n t i n g-i fm o r et h a n6 5 5 3 5c o u n t so n1s e c o n de x p e c t e d , -u s ed w o r dt y p ei n s t e a do fw o r d . e n a b l e _ d i g i t a l _ i o ( )-a l lp i n sa r en o wd i g i t a l -d e f i n eo nw h i c hp i nw ed oc o u n t i n g D 7 _ d i r e c t i o n=I N P U T f l a g=0 c o u n t i n g=0

This is the "usual " method of counting pulses on positive edge. Is easy to modify it for the negative edge - an exercise for the reader? An USB example: Unfortunately, we will loose the USB connection (and the application will be blocked) if there is no activity for a maximum of 10 milliseconds pause. We need to deal with that. Bellow is my proposal . I will not go for a maximum of 10 millisecond delay because it is possible to loose the connection. I will "push" the USB at every 5ms and this is the interval for counting. I will count pulses on 5ms interval and repeat it 200 times to gather 1 second. -C o u n t i n gp u l s e so np o s i t i v ee d g e i n c l u d ef r e e j a l d u i n o 4 . j a l i n c l u d eu s b _ s e r i a l i n c l u d ep r i n t c o n s tt i m e r 0 _ i s r _ r a t e=1 0 0 0-1k H zi s rr a t e c o n s tD E L A Y _ S L O T S=1-w en e e do n l yo n ed e l a ya tat i m e i n c l u d et i m e r 0 _ i s r _ i n t e r v a l t i m e r 0 _ i s r _ i n i t ( )-i n i tt i m e r 0i s r v a rb i tf l a g v a rw o r dc o u n t i n g-i fm o r et h a n6 5 5 3 5c o u n t so n1s e c o n de x p e c t e d , -u s ed w o r dt y p ei n s t e a do fw o r d . e n a b l e _ d i g i t a l _ i o ( )-a l lp i n sa r en o wd i g i t a l -d e f i n eo nw h i c hp i nw ed oc o u n t i n g D 7 _ d i r e c t i o n=I N P U T f l a g=0 c o u n t i n g=0 u s b _ s e r i a l _ i n i t ( ) f o r e v e rl o o p u s b _ s e r i a l _ f l u s h ( ) -= = = = = = = =s t a r tt h ec o u n t i n gp r o c e d u r e= = = = = = = = f o r2 0 0l o o p-5*2 0 0=1s e c o n d -s t a r tt h ed e l a yo f5m i l l i s e c o n d so nf i r s ts l o t( w h i c hi s0 ) s e t _ d e l a y ( 0 ,5 ) r e p e a t i fD 7= =1t h e n-p o s i t i v ep u l s eo nD 7p i n f l a g=1 -s o ,m a r ki tt ob ec o u n t e dw h e np u l s ew i l lf a l l e l s i ff l a g= =1t h e n-n o wD 7i s0( p u l s ef a l l e n=c o m p l e t e )a n di ff l a gi ss e t , -w ec o u n tt h ep u l s e c o u n t i n g=c o u n t i n g+1-c o u n t e d !h u r a y ,w eh a v eap u l s e ! f l a g=0 -o k ,c l e a nt h ef l a gt ob er e a d yf o ra n o t h e rr i s i n gp u l s e e n di f u n t i lc h e c k _ d e l a y ( 0 )-c h e c kt h es l o tt os e ei fd e l a ye x p i r e d u s b _ s e r i a l _ f l u s h ( )-t e l lt ot h eu s bw ea r ea c t i v e e n dl o o p -c y c l ee n d e d ,w ee r a s et h ef l a g f l a g=0 -= = = = = = = = = = = = =e n dt h ec o u n t i n gp r o c e d u r e= = = = = = = = = = = = = = =

Why not a 10 millisecond delay? Well , we can try that anyway but is not about an exact delay as is a blocking one (delay_1ms(10)). We start the timer, we do other things then check if the timer has finished his counting. If you get over 10ms, then you may loose USB connection so, 5ms is better.
