Roving RN-42
============

TODO
----
Bug:
- with Nexus5 keyboard and mouse are very laggy.

Power saving:
- 8MHz clock
- When not connected in a few minutes get into deep sleep to save battery life
- CTS is needed for waking up from deep sleep? How deep sleep is activated?
- firmware controlled 3.3V DC converter to switch on/off BT module
- sleep MCU and BT module(keyboard is not used)
- deep sleep MCU and BT module(keyboard is not used for long time)
- deep sleep MCU and turn off BT module(keyboard is not used and not connected)
- Battery ADC; switching, high resistance
    - switching gnd end of divider with PF4
    - high resistor 100K/1M?
        capacitor   10nF
        http://www.eevblog.com/forum/beginners/measuring-battery-voltage-without-consuming-current/

Improving:
- BT LED; connecting, linked, sleeping, deep sleeping
- Battry LED; blink(using timer?)
- move rn42 to protocol directory when it becomes reusable stack
- LUFA sendchar should be buffered and serial_uart.c buffur size is too large(256).
- ADC resolution
    AVR120
    AVR32138

Testing:
- Factroy reset doesn't work; need to **test again** 10K pull-up is too high?
- Lipo voltage ADC value is not stabilized
- DCDC converter: squeaky inducter; try other inductors

- Keymap layer bug: during space is pressed(mousekey) press Fn(HHKB) then release space before Fn, in result HHKB layer is locked(toggled) unintentionally.


Done:
- low battery alert(solid light) 09/04

USB Power is boosted unnecessarily, not harmful?

Idea 1:

 |      |  |Switch/----------+

|Power Selector|-----+---|Switch|----|DC3.3V|-----|RN-42|
+--------------+         +------+    +------+     +-----+
To enable BT when USB powered it still needs to turn siwtch on, Lipo consumes quinscent current at 5V converter in vain.(Not good)

Idea 2:
(USB)   +---(Lipo)
 |      |     |
 |      |  +------+
 |      |  |Switch|
 |      |  +------+

|Power Selector|-----+---|DC3.3V|-----|RN-42|

MCU can controlled power of RN-42 without hardware switch.
When USB powered and switch is on Lipo consumes quinscent current at 5V converter in vain.(Not good)

Idea 3:
(USB)   +---(Lipo)
 |      |     |

|Power Selector|-|DC 5V|-|DC3.3V|-----|RN-42|

Switch is needed to save Lipo when not used because decent power saving is not available now. If firmware can turn off BT module completely and make MCU deep sleep the switch will be not even needed.





DONE:
- BT_INDICATOR LED turns on wrongly when touching line or pin.  -- pull-up enabled on PF6/GPIO2 08/30
- Lipo charger configuration: fast charge time:  USB charger spec? -- used 2kohm
- use LED of charger to alarm low battery. LED should be powered directly from Lipo? - cancel; powered from VUSB
- Use RTS in serial_uart.c to resolve missing chars from help message of RN-42 - done
- CTS/RTS lines are needed? just connect in loop back if no flow control is needed. - done
- add IO pin to charger status CHRG; LED control(low) and detect charge status(input HiZ) 07.24
- LINKED: add trace on PIO2 to PF6   07.24
- Lipo voltage ADC sensing
- Lipo charger MCP73831: needs capacitor 4.7uF *2
- USB connection check - 07.01
- BT on/off check: whether RX line is pulled up? - checking RTS 07.01
- USB/BT switching  BT is on -> BT, BT is off -> USB - 07.01
- Under voltage lock out UVLO for protection of Lipo - Lipo has discharge protection at 3.100V    07.01
- Power saving: HHKB scan, BT radio control - 9h with 850mAh, this is enough   07.01
- Power selector doesn't work; Q4 MOSFET leaks from Lipo to USB power line. -- use Schottky instead 07/04



TROUBLE SHOOT
-------------
07/16   After fix of voltage dividor on GPIO6, had a trouble that it could not send a char to BT module, though could receive.
        Found R8 had wrong 1K resistor and changed to 10K, after that it can send to the module again. Not sure how it had sent with the wrong 1K before.

07/18   On Linux, had an USB related trouble; keyobard or console didn't work for some reason. Changing PID cured this problem. Very annoying, took very long time before resolved it.

SSP:            115200bps, 8bit, 1-stopbit, non-parity, no flow control(via Bluetooth)

To enter command mode disconnect the module from host and type '$$$'.(you will see 'CMD')
To exit type '---'(you will see 'END') and '+' to get local echo.



Setting command mode
--------------------
S-,tmkBT            // Device name
SS,keyboard/mouse   // service name

HID profile
-----------
S~,6    HID profile
S~,0    SPP profile
R,1     reboot


Apple iOS
---------
Keyboard can be used with iPhone, but mouse cannot.
To operate iOS with keyboard is not so useful, though.
There may be iOS specific scancodes?

    0010:   Mouse
    0011:   Combo
    0100:   Joystick
    1xxx:   reserved


Out report - Indicator
----------------------
0xFE 0x02 0x01 <LED_state>


LED Status
----------
Configuring                     10 times per sec
Startup/configuration timer     2 times per sec
Discoverable/Inquiring/Idle     once per sec
Connected                       solid on


Pairing
-------
First, host initiates pairing process and once it is done, auto connect will work thereafter.
SM,3        Master mode
SM,4        Auto Connect DTR Mode uses GPIO6 to make and break connection(Mode =DTR)
                confirm: auto connect works and control connection with GPIO6
SM,5        Auto Connect ANY Mode (Mode =ANY)
                each time GPIO is set, make inquiry and connect to the first found device
SM,6        automatically reconnect(Mode =Pair)
                confirm: auto connect works well but difficult to enter command mode.


Fast data mode
--------------
The module enters fast data mode after 'remote configuration timer' window is passed from power on.
In this mode the module does not accept '$$$' to enter command mode.

Power Management
----------------
Inquiry and Page window     Idle or Active  (3.1.1)
    Downside: delay in discovery or connection time
    SI,         // set inquiry scan window(discovery) on/off duty?
    SJ,         // set page scan window(connection)
    This reduces averaege power >20mA to 5mA(3mA in Sniff mode)

Sniff mode                  Transmit
    Sniff mode is disabled by default and radio is active continuously when connected.(25-30mA)
    In Sniff mode the radio wakes up intermittently and sleeps in very low power mode.(2mA)
    SW,<val>    // set interval timer(*0.625ms) 0000-7FFF

Deep sleep                  Idle            (3.1.2)
    In this mode the module shuts down completly and only draws about 300uA. To enable this set the most signifant bit(0x8000) of Sniff interaval timer.
    SW,8320     // deep sleep enable(interval=0x320*0.625=500ms)
    In normal sleep the firmware is still running in idle mode, and wakes up about 20 times per second to check ports, update LEDs, etc. During deep sleep, the firmware actually stops runnig some tasks and the LEDs only update about once per second.
    To wake from deep sleep there are three ways: (in worst case wake up takes 5ms)
        *send a charactor to the UART(first charactor will be lost)
        *toggle CTS low to high and wait 5ms
        *wake automatically every slot time(<val>*0.625ms)
    Once the radio is awake it stay active for exactly 1 second of inactivity and then sleeps again.
    Downside: latency and data loss

Disable Output driver       Idle or Active  (3.1.3)
    S%,1000     // set all GPIO pins(0-11) to inputs.

Lower Transmit Power        Idle or Active  (3.1.4)
    SY,<hex>    // transmit power setting(takes effect after a power cycle and reboot)
    Downside: reducing effective range


Optimizig for Latency
---------------------
By default the firmware is optimized for throughput.
SQ,16           // set latency bit
SQ,0            // unset latency bit


Configuration timer settings
----------------------------
Remote configuration is used for the module to be configured with various commands over Bluetooth(SPP profile only?).

The module has remote configuration timer to allow remote configuration over Bluetooth after power up in Slave mode. In Master modes the remote configuration timer is set to 0(no remote configuration). (In Trigger Master mode the timer is used as an idle timer to break the connection after time expires with no charactors receive.)
    ST,0        // no remote, no local when connected
    ST,<1-252>  // local and remote with timeout in seconds from power up
    ST,253      // local only       without timeout
    ST,254      // remote only      without timeout
    ST,255      // local and remote without timeout

3.7.1.5 Note: To connect with Android phone the modules must wake up 11ms every 2.5seconds.
