Apr.8- 22+ Checking out LMS HW from FORTE

Basic tests finished, HW working from FORTE code


Open Questions left:
Apr.22 Light Sensor Clean-up
ltsensor.rd FB (test appl(s):  blinky3rd)
test: black/white/brown  + led on/off 

Sensor 3 returns 1020 no matter what with light sensors plugged into ports 1-3
All sensors return a value around 1020 if nothing is plugged in.
If no light sensor is plugged into port 2, but a light sensor is plugged into port 3, then the value is read out when port # = 2 (!?)

• changed sensor
• changed cable
• unplugged
• turned Lego on and off

Touch - Works, but how do you tell if  its just bumped?

Motor.basic - motor does not seem to halt or turn off as expected

Buttons: How can we detce multiple buttons as inputs. Only 1 is returned at at time.

Working:  
Testcases under: LegoHW
Buttons: 2 1 4     each button is a bit.

                     8

Touch 0 = out; 1023=pushed;

Shutdown FB  (test appl(s):  TurnOff)
    No outputs since can't return something after power is off,
    however Forte export filter does not generate one 0 to indicate no outputs.  (fix coming)
   Works with hand change.

Motors A-C work as output ports 0-2 

ltSensor.led ports 1-4  (test appl(s):  blinky1; OffLed2)
  FORTE changes needed for PORT init needed have been checked in (so shouldn't reoccur)

ltsensor.rd FB ports 1-4 (test appl(s):  RdLight, OffLed2)
The lms AVR functions from Alex are in c since added on to eCos
but Forte generates C++ code so following was needed:
#ifdef __cplusplus
extern "C" {
#endif
function headers
#ifdef __cplusplus
}
#endif


Sensor Ports and led = flood light
port 4 needed additional initialization for avr  since its a rs 485 port
how lejos initializes ports
