Teensy Support

[nicholaskillin]

Hey! I'm working on a project that uses IBusBM to receive data from my RC receiver and translate that into commands for DFPlayer. This allows me to play sounds for my RC R2-D2. I got this working pretty good with a Nano.

However, the DFPlayer also needs UART, so I am attempting to move over to a TeensyLC board, which has more than enough UART ports for the RC receiver, DFPlayer, and computer connection.

I have some sample code going, but right now I'm not getting anything but 0 when calling readChannel on IBus. After some looking around, I'm thinking it likely has to do with the fact that the Teensy LC uses an unsupported architecture.

I'd be happy to help you get this supported if possible. I don't know anything about Arduino libraries other than loading and using them, but I am a programmer and have an TeensyLC that I'd be more than happy to test with.

Any chance this is something you'd be willing to support?

Hi Nick, I did a quick check of the Teensy LC board and it should not be a large effort to support this board. I suspect the problem is calling the right serial port routines and linking the right timer. Teensy indeed seems to have enough ports and timers. A library is just a bunch of C code, so you can look at the source files to see how they work. The IBusBM lib is really not that complicated. The main file is this one: https://github.com/bmellink/IBusBM/blob/master/src/IBusBM.cpp as you see there are a number of "IFDEF" statements that switch on or off code depending on the selected architecture Maybe you want to give it a shot and if it does not work I may have time in the future to buy a Teensy and try myself. The quicker way to communicate is by using my direct email: ***@***.*** regards Bart Mellink

Most of my experience is in Ruby and JS, so I'm not sure how helpful I'll be in C, but I have learned a lot of the basics writing my sketch.

If I get some time I'll take a look, but most of what you said is stuff that I'll have to learn in order to make any meaningful contribution.
