pico-cs / firmware Goto Github PK

Hi, another feature idea! If you add a second inverted signal output that would enable a user to use a common H-bridge module as a booster without having to build a signal inverter.

Hi, it would be very useful to control a gpio pin and not just the LED output when the controller is enabled. This will make it very simple for the pico-cs to be used with many H-bridge modules with an enable input as the booster. Without this some DCC locos when attached to DC power (no dcc signal) assume they're in DC mode and start to accelerate.
Again, this is great work! Thanks, Max.

Again, great work so far! The last feature which would make pico-cs able to completely run a small layout is to have a push message (as per the protocol document) generated when a GPIO configured as an input changes state. This would allow control software to react to things like a block occupancy or position sensor without having to continually poll and potentially miss events.

Hi, glad to see the latest 0.8.0 release and improvements. I've noticed that if using the firmware without the mqtt gateway that due to a lack of traffic many wireless APs will disconnect the client. I had a look at the source and in loop_pico_w it doesn't appear to check if it's been disconnected, and reconnect. I tried adding the following to the loop

    if (cyw43_wifi_link_status(&cyw43_state, CYW43_ITF_STA) != CYW43_LINK_UP) {
        cyw43_arch_wifi_connect_timeout_ms(WIFI_SSID, WIFI_PASSWORD, CYW43_AUTH_WPA2_AES_PSK, 30000);
    }

But I'm no C coder and it doesn't appear to work either :D

Thanks for your efforts so far, this is a great solution for small layouts.
