KMESerial Library Code Description

This Library controls GPIO pins based on switch states received from the KMESerial library and updates sensor values periodically. It also handles time synchronization based on information received from KMESerial.

Main Features:

1. Switch State Handling: Manages multiple switch states, assigning them to corresponding GPIO pins and controlling the pin's output based on the switch state (ON/OFF).
2. Sensor Updates: Periodically updates sensor values and sends them to KMESerial.
3. Time Synchronization: Synchronizes the system time based on data received from KMESerial and displays it in a formatted way.

Functions Description:

1. `switchstate(KME State)`

This function is a callback that handles changes in switch states. It checks the State.id of the switch and maps it to a corresponding GPIO pin. Based on the switch state (ON or OFF), it sets the GPIO pin output to HIGH or LOW. Additionally, the switch state is updated using KMESerial.SetSwitch.

Parameters: State object that contains id and value for the switch.
Actions: Maps the id to a specific GPIO and controls its output accordingly.

2. `setup()`

The setup() function runs once when the microcontroller starts. It initializes the GPIO pins as outputs, sets up serial communication at a baud rate of 74880, and retrieves the status of the switches using KMESerial.getStatus(). It also sets up the callback function to handle switch state changes.

Actions: Initializes serial communication, sets GPIO pins as outputs, retrieves switch status, and configures the KMESerial callback.

3. `loop()`

The loop() function continuously runs after the setup is completed. It periodically updates sensor values, manages KMESerial communication, and handles time synchronization when the conditions are met. It also prints the current time and heartbeat value from KMESerial.

Actions: Updates sensor values, checks for heartbeat changes, and synchronizes time based on KMESerial data.

Library for GPIO Control and Sensor Updates

This Library controls GPIO pins based on switch states received from the KMESerial library and periodically updates sensor values. It also synchronizes time based on information from KMESerial.

Example Usage

void switchstate(KME State) {
  byte gpio = 0;
  // Check for each switch ID and assign corresponding GPIO pin
  if (State.id == 0) {
    gpio = 13;
  } else if (State.id == 1) {
    gpio = 8;
  } else if (State.id == 2) {
    gpio = 7;
  } else if (State.id == 3) {  // New switch with ID 3
    gpio = 12;
  }

  // Control the corresponding GPIO based on the switch state
  if (State.value == 1) {
    digitalWrite(gpio, HIGH);  // Turn ON the GPIO pin
  } else {
    digitalWrite(gpio, LOW);   // Turn OFF the GPIO pin
  }

  // Send updated switch state back to KMESerial
  KMESerial.setSwitch(State.id, State.value);
}

void setup() {
  Serial.begin(74880); 
  pinMode(13, OUTPUT);  // GPIO pin 13
  pinMode(8, OUTPUT);   // GPIO pin 8
  pinMode(7, OUTPUT);   // GPIO pin 7
  pinMode(12, OUTPUT);  // GPIO pin 12 (new switch)

  KMESerial.getStatus(0);
  KMESerial.getStatus(1);
  KMESerial.getStatus(2);
  KMESerial.getStatus(3);
  
  KMESerial.setCallback(switchstate);
  KMESerial.getSettings(0);
}

void loop() {
  val += 20;
  secondSensorVal += 10;
  
  KMESerial.loop();
  delay(300);
  
  KMESerial.setSensor(0, val);
  KMESerial.setSensor(1, secondSensorVal);
  
  if (heartbeat != KMESerial.info().heartbeat) {
    Serial.print("heartbeat:");
    Serial.print(KMESerial.info().heartbeat);
    heartbeat = KMESerial.info().heartbeat;
  }
  
  if (timegeted && val > 100) {
    timegeted = false;
    Serial.print("info:");
    Serial.println(KMESerial.info().currentTime);
    
    setTime(KMESerial.info().currentTime);
    Serial.print("Current Time: ");
    Serial.println(now());
    
    Serial.print("Formatted Time: ");
    Serial.print(hour());
    Serial.print(":");
    Serial.print(minute());
    Serial.print(":");
    Serial.print(second());
    Serial.print(" ");
    Serial.print(day());
    Serial.print("/");
    Serial.print(month());
    Serial.print("/");
    Serial.println(year());
  }
}

Functions

switchstate(KME State)

This function is a callback that handles changes in switch states. Based on the State.id, it maps to a corresponding GPIO pin. When the switch is turned ON or OFF, the function updates the GPIO pin output to HIGH or LOW and sends the updated switch state back through the KMESerial library.

Parameters:

State: A KME object that contains the id and value of the switch.

The function controls the following GPIO pins based on the switch id:

id == 0 -> GPIO 13
id == 1 -> GPIO 8
id == 2 -> GPIO 7
id == 3 -> GPIO 12 (new switch)

The GPIO pin is set to HIGH if State.value == 1, otherwise LOW.

setup()

This function is called once when the microcontroller starts. It initializes serial communication, sets GPIO pins as outputs, prepares communication through the KMESerial library, retrieves switch statuses, and sets up a callback to handle switch state changes.

Key Tasks:

Initializes serial communication with a baud rate of 74880.
Sets up GPIO pins 7, 8, 12, and 13 as output pins for controlling external components.
Retrieves initial switch statuses for IDs 0, 1, 2, and 3 using KMESerial.getStatus().
Sets up the switchstate() callback to handle switch state changes.
Retrieves settings for switch ID 0 using KMESerial.getSettings().

loop()

This function is called repeatedly after the setup() function and performs the following tasks:

Key Tasks:

Increments sensor values val by 20 and secondSensorVal by 10 on each iteration.
Updates sensor values for ID 0 and ID 1 using KMESerial.setSensor().
Executes the KMESerial.loop() function to handle communication with the KMESerial library.
Checks if the heartbeat value has changed and prints it if there is an update.
Performs time synchronization once val > 100 and prints the synchronized time in both raw and formatted formats.

Time Synchronization:

Once the condition val > 100 is met, the current time from KMESerial is retrieved and set using the setTime() function.
The current time is printed in both raw seconds and in a formatted hh:mm:ss dd/mm/yyyy format.

Variables

val: The main sensor value that is incremented by 20 in each loop iteration.
secondSensorVal: The second sensor value that is incremented by 10 in each loop iteration.
heartbeat: Tracks the heartbeat signal received from KMESerial. If the heartbeat changes, it prints the new value.
timegeted: A flag that ensures time synchronization only happens once when val > 100.

Notes

The Library controls four switches mapped to GPIO pins 7, 8, 12, and 13. Additional switches can be added by extending the switchstate() function.
The sensor values for ID 0 and 1 are updated periodically based on val and secondSensorVal.
The KMESerial library handles the communication and switch state changes, and is also used for time synchronization.
