This commit enhances the Modbus server's configuration handling by:
- Loading saved baudrate and unit ID settings during initialization, ensuring persistence across reboots.
- Providing improved feedback during `modbus_reconfigure`, including logging for successful changes and informing the user when a device restart is required for changes to take effect.
- Saving new configuration settings even if immediate reinitialization fails, allowing them to be applied on the next boot.
This commit introduces a new Modbus input register for the system's supply voltage.
- The `modbus-registers.de.md` documentation is updated to include the `SUPPLY_VOLTAGE_MV` register at address `0x00F5` within the system block.
- The `modbus_server.h` header defines the new register.
- The `modbus_server.c` implementation provides a fixed value (12300 mV) for this register.
- The `modbus_tool.py` script is updated to read and display this new supply voltage value in the UI.
This lays the groundwork for integrating actual voltage measurements in the future.
This commit implements the real valve control using the GPIOs connected to the VND7050AJ driver.
- The `weact_stm32g431_core.overlay` is updated with a specific compatible string and a device tree label for the valve controller.
- `valve.h` is extended to include GPIO device specifications.
- `valve.c` now initializes and controls the GPIOs for opening and closing the valve, including the reset logic. The IN0 and IN1 pins are interlocked to prevent simultaneous activation. The RST pin is activated before each movement and deactivated afterward.
This replaces the previous virtual/simulated valve logic with actual hardware control.
Updated the weact_stm32g431_core.overlay to define the GPIO and ADC
pin assignments for the VND7050AJ driver. This includes:
- Digital I/O pins (IN0, IN1, RST, S0, S1, SEN) configured as GPIOs.
- Analog input pin (MULTISENSE/PA0) configured for ADC1.
This commit introduces a major refactoring of the project structure to align
with Zephyr's recommended multi-application and library organization.
Key changes include:
- Relocation of custom modules from 'software/modules/' to 'software/lib/'.
- Introduction of a central 'software/CMakeLists.txt' to manage application
and library subdirectories.
- Creation of new Kconfig files for 'software/' and 'software/apps/slave_node/'
to define project-wide and application-specific configurations.
- Removal of the 'gateway' and 'stm32g431_tests' applications.
- Removal of 'shell_modbus.c' and 'shell_system.c' from 'slave_node' application's
direct source files, indicating a shift towards library-based shell commands.
- Updates to 'software/apps/slave_node/CMakeLists.txt', 'prj.conf', and
'boards/bluepill_f103rb.conf' to reflect the new structure and dependencies.
- Implemented CDC-ACM (USB Virtual COM Port) support for the slave_node application.
- Removed the now obsolete 'hello_world' and 'stm32g431_tests' applications.
- Adjusted Device Tree Overlays for bluepill_f103rb and weact_stm32g431_core
to correctly define Modbus UART via 'modbus0' subnode with 'zephyr,modbus-serial'
compatibility, aligning with rtu_server sample.
- Prepared modbus_server.c to use the correct Device Tree node for Modbus UART.
Refactor slave_node application to support building for both bluepill_f103rb and
weact_stm32g431_core boards.
- Moved RTT-specific console and shell backend configurations from prj.conf
into board-specific .conf files (bluepill_f103rb.conf).
- Configured USART2 as console/shell for weact_stm32g431_core.
- Added Device Tree Overlay for weact_stm32g431_core to enable USART1 for Modbus
communication (PA9/PA10).
Add comprehensive Doxygen-style comments to all functions, enums, and macros in `main.c`. This improves code clarity and maintainability. The Doxygen configuration itself was removed after deciding against generating a separate HTML manual, but the in-code comments provide significant value on their own.
- Add Doxygen-compliant comments to functions, enums, and state variables in `main.c`.
- This provides a foundation for automatically generating source code documentation.
- Remove the separate, now redundant, `firmware-manual.de.md` file.
- Add a fail-safe watchdog using a Zephyr kernel timer.
- The timer is reset on any successful Modbus communication.
- If the timer expires (no communication within the configured timeout), the valve is automatically closed as a safety measure.
- The watchdog is enabled by writing a non-zero value to the `WATCHDOG_TIMEOUT_S` register and disabled by writing 0.
- Implement a simple, curses-based file browser to allow selecting firmware files from the filesystem.
- The selected file path is used for the firmware update process.
- Fix a visual bug where the progress bar would not reach 100% upon completion.
- Remove a leftover function that was causing a NameError.
- Add a new thread to handle the firmware update process, preventing the UI from freezing.
- The UI now displays a progress bar and status messages during the update.
- The tool reads a file and sends it to the slave in chunks.
- Add a dummy for testing purposes.
- Fix Modbus communication issues by reducing the chunk size to a safe value (248 bytes) and sending data in smaller bursts to improve stability.
- Update the README with the new features and instructions.
- Update the TUI to display all new registers from the slave, including digital I/O and system status.
- Add new menu buttons to control digital outputs and set the watchdog timer.
- Add a placeholder button for the firmware update process.
- Fix various bugs, including incorrect argument passing in Modbus calls and a module import error.
- Implement all remaining Modbus registers as defined in the documentation v1.0.
- Add support for digital I/O, system status, and a simulated watchdog.
- Implement a placeholder for the firmware update mechanism, including CRC calculation for received data chunks.
- Remove the input simulation timer; digital inputs are now static and ready for real hardware.
- Refactor the curses drawing loop to be state-based, eliminating screen flicker after user input.
- Add a helper function to format uptime from seconds into a human-readable string (d/h/m/s).
- Replace the basic command-line prompt with a full-screen, interactive TUI using the library.
- The new UI provides a real-time, tabular status display and intuitive, button-style menu navigation.
- Implement a consistent blue background theme for better aesthetics.
- Add a detailed with installation and usage instructions.
- Fix several bugs in the Modbus communication logic.
- Add shell commands 'valve set_open_time' and 'valve set_close_time' to configure the virtual valve.
- Extend the 'show_config' command to display the new timing values.
- The new settings are persisted to flash storage.
- Implement virtual valve logic with time-based movement simulation.
- The valve state is now set to 'OPEN' immediately when the opening process starts, ensuring a safe and correct state representation.
- The state is only set to 'CLOSED' after the closing process has finished.
- Add persistence for max opening and closing times.
