Why do we need this NRF52_ISR_Servo library

Features

Imagine you have a system with a mission-critical function controlling a robot arm or doing something much more important. You normally use a software timer to poll, or even place the function in loop(). But what if another function is blocking the loop() or setup().

So your function might not be executed, and the result would be disastrous.

You'd prefer to have your function called, no matter what happening with other functions (busy loop, bug, etc.).

The correct choice is to use a Hardware PWM module to generate the PWM pulses.

These hardware PWM modules, using interrupt, still work even if other functions are blocking. Moreover, they are much more precise (certainly depending on clock frequency accuracy) than other software timers using millis() or micros(). That's necessary if you need to measure some data requiring better accuracy.

Functions using normal software timers, relying on loop() and calling millis(), won't work if the loop() or setup() is blocked by certain operation. For example, certain function is blocking while it's connecting to WiFi or some services.

This library enables you to use 1 Hardware PWM module on an nRF52-based board to control up to 16 independent servo motors.

Use Arduino Library Manager

The best and easiest way is to use Arduino Library Manager. Search for NRF52_ISR_Servo, then select / install the latest version. You can also use this link for more detailed instructions.

Manual Install

Another way to install is to:

Navigate to NRF52_ISR_Servo page.
Download the latest release NRF52_ISR_Servo-main.zip.
Extract the zip file to NRF52_ISR_Servo-main directory
Copy whole NRF52_ISR_Servo-main folder to Arduino libraries' directory such as ~/Arduino/libraries/.

VS Code & PlatformIO

Install VS Code
Install PlatformIO
Install NRF52_ISR_Servo library by using Library Manager. Search for NRF52_ISR_Servo in Platform.io Author's Libraries
Use included platformio.ini file from examples to ensure that all dependent libraries will installed automatically. Please visit documentation for the other options and examples at Project Configuration File

Packages' Patches

1. For Adafruit nRF52840 and nRF52832 boards

To be able to compile, run and automatically detect and display BOARD_NAME on nRF52840/nRF52832 boards, you have to copy the whole nRF52 1.3.0 directory into Adafruit nRF52 directory (~/.arduino15/packages/adafruit/hardware/nrf52/1.3.0).

Supposing the Adafruit nRF52 version is 1.3.0. These files must be copied into the directory:

~/.arduino15/packages/adafruit/hardware/nrf52/1.3.0/platform.txt
~/.arduino15/packages/adafruit/hardware/nrf52/1.3.0/boards.txt
~/.arduino15/packages/adafruit/hardware/nrf52/1.3.0/variants/NINA_B302_ublox/variant.h
~/.arduino15/packages/adafruit/hardware/nrf52/1.3.0/variants/NINA_B302_ublox/variant.cpp
~/.arduino15/packages/adafruit/hardware/nrf52/1.3.0/variants/NINA_B112_ublox/variant.h
~/.arduino15/packages/adafruit/hardware/nrf52/1.3.0/variants/NINA_B112_ublox/variant.cpp
~/.arduino15/packages/adafruit/hardware/nrf52/1.3.0/cores/nRF5/Udp.h

Whenever a new version is installed, remember to copy these files into the new version directory. For example, new version is x.yy.z These files must be copied into the directory:

~/.arduino15/packages/adafruit/hardware/nrf52/x.yy.z/platform.txt
~/.arduino15/packages/adafruit/hardware/nrf52/x.yy.z/boards.txt
~/.arduino15/packages/adafruit/hardware/nrf52/x.yy.z/variants/NINA_B302_ublox/variant.h
~/.arduino15/packages/adafruit/hardware/nrf52/x.yy.z/variants/NINA_B302_ublox/variant.cpp
~/.arduino15/packages/adafruit/hardware/nrf52/x.yy.z/variants/NINA_B112_ublox/variant.h
~/.arduino15/packages/adafruit/hardware/nrf52/x.yy.z/variants/NINA_B112_ublox/variant.cpp
~/.arduino15/packages/adafruit/hardware/nrf52/x.yy.z/cores/nRF5/Udp.h

2. For Seeeduino nRF52840 boards

To be able to compile and run on Xiao nRF52840 boards, you have to copy the whole nRF52 1.0.0 directory into Seeeduino nRF52 directory (~/.arduino15/packages/Seeeduino/hardware/nrf52/1.0.0).

Supposing the Seeeduino nRF52 version is 1.0.0. These files must be copied into the directory:

~/.arduino15/packages/Seeeduino/hardware/nrf52/1.0.0/cores/nRF5/Print.h
~/.arduino15/packages/Seeeduino/hardware/nrf52/1.0.0/cores/nRF5/Print.cpp
~/.arduino15/packages/Seeeduino/hardware/nrf52/1.0.0/cores/nRF5/Udp.h

Whenever a new version is installed, remember to copy these files into the new version directory. For example, new version is x.yy.z These files must be copied into the directory:

~/.arduino15/packages/Seeeduino/hardware/nrf52/x.yy.z/cores/nRF5/Print.h
~/.arduino15/packages/Seeeduino/hardware/nrf52/x.yy.z/cores/nRF5/Print.cpp
~/.arduino15/packages/Seeeduino/hardware/nrf52/x.yy.z/cores/nRF5/Udp.h

To use Sparkfun Pro nRF52840 Mini, you must install Packages_Patches and use Adafruit nrf52 core v1.0.0+

HOWTO Fix `Multiple Definitions` Linker Error

The current library implementation, using xyz-Impl.h instead of standard xyz.cpp, possibly creates certain Multiple Definitions Linker error in certain use cases.

You can include this .hpp file

// Can be included as many times as necessary, without `Multiple Definitions` Linker Error
#include "NRF52_ISR_Servo.hpp"     //https://github.com/khoih-prog/NRF52_ISR_Servo

in many files. But be sure to use the following .h file in just 1 .h, .cpp or .ino file, which must not be included in any other file, to avoid Multiple Definitions Linker Error

// To be included only in main(), .ino with setup() to avoid `Multiple Definitions` Linker Error
#include "NRF52_ISR_Servo.h"           //https://github.com/khoih-prog/NRF52_ISR_Servo

Check the new multiFileProject example for a HOWTO demo.

Have a look at the discussion in Different behaviour using the src_cpp or src_h lib #80

What special in this NRF52_ISR_Servo library

Now these new 16 ISR-based Servo controllers just use one nRF52 Hardware PWM module. The number 16 is just arbitrarily chosen, and depending on application, you can increase that number to 32, 48, etc. without problem.

The accuracy is nearly perfect compared to software timers. The most important feature is they're ISR-based timers

Therefore, their executions are not blocked by bad-behaving functions / tasks. This important feature is absolutely necessary for mission-critical tasks.

The nRF52_MultipleServos example, which controls 6 servos independently, will demonstrate the nearly perfect accuracy.

Being ISR-based servo controllers, their executions are not blocked by bad-behaving functions / tasks, such as connecting to WiFi, Internet and Blynk services.

This non-being-blocked important feature is absolutely necessary for mission-critical tasks.

Debug

Debug is enabled by default on Serial.

You can also change the debugging level from 0 to 2. Be careful and using level 2 only for temporary debug purpose only.

#define TIMER_INTERRUPT_DEBUG       1
#define ISR_SERVO_DEBUG             1

Troubleshooting

If you get compilation errors, more often than not, you may need to install a newer version of the core for Arduino boards.

Sometimes, the library will only work if you update the board core to the latest version because I am using newly added functions.

Issues

Submit issues to: NRF52_ISR_Servo issues

TO DO

Search for bug and improvement.

DONE

Similar features for Arduino (UNO, Mega, etc...), ESP32, ESP8266, STM32, RP2040, SAMD21/SAMD51
Add functions getPosition() and getPulseWidth()
Optimize the code
Add complicated examples
Convert to h-only style.
Add example multiFileProject to demo for multiple-file project
Optimize code by using passing by reference instead of by value
Add support to Sparkfun Pro nRF52840 Mini
Permit using servos with different pulse ranges simultaneously
Add support to Seeeduino nRF52840-based boards such as Seeed_XIAO_NRF52840 and Seeed_XIAO_NRF52840_SENSE, etc. using Seeeduino nRF52 core
Add astyle using allman style. Restyle the library
Add Packages' Patches to add Seeeduino nRF52 core
