# Firmata

This package implements the Firmata protocol in Elixir.

Firmata is a MIDI-based protocol for communicating with microcontrollers.

## Feature Completeness

**Implemented**

* Parser
* Handshake
* Retreiving Version
* Retreiving Firmware
* Retreiving Pin Capabilities
* Retreiving Analog Pin Mapping
* Toggle Analog Channel Reporting
* Set Pin Mode
* Digital Write
* I2C Read/Write
* String Data

**Planned**

* Digital Read

## Usage Example

A cloneable test application is available here [https://github.com/entone/firmata_test](https://github.com/entone/firmata_test)

The examples are tested against StandardFirmata.ino v2.5

### FirmataTest.Board
```elixir
defmodule FirmataTest.Board do
use GenServer
use Firmata.Protocol.Mixin
require Logger

@i2c_channel 98
@read_bytes 32

defmodule State do
defstruct firmata: nil, sensors: []
end

def start_link(tty) do
GenServer.start_link(__MODULE__, tty, name: __MODULE__)
end

def init(tty) do
Logger.debug "Starting Firmata on port: #{inspect tty}"
{:ok, firmata} = Firmata.Board.start_link(tty, [], :hardware_interface)
Logger.info "Firmata Started: #{inspect firmata}"
#Start the firmata initialization
Firmata.Board.sysex_write(firmata, @firmware_query, <<>>)
{:ok, %State{firmata: firmata}}
end

def init_board(state) do
state |> init_i2c |> init_analog
end

defp init_i2c(state) do
#Tell firmata to enable i2c
Firmata.Board.sysex_write(state.firmata, @i2c_config, <<>>)
Process.send_after(self(), :read_i2c, 0)
state
end

defp init_analog(state) do
FirmataTest.Analog.start_link(state.firmata, 0, :humidity)
state
end

def handle_info(:read_i2c, state) do
#Send write command to i2c device on channel 98, writes "R" which is the read command for Atlas Scientific stamps
Firmata.Board.sysex_write(state.firmata, @i2c_request, <<@i2c_channel, @i2c_mode.write, "R">>)
#most Atlas Scientific stamps take about 1000ms to return a value
:timer.sleep(1000)
#Read 32 bytes from i2c channel we wrote to a second ago.
#We will get the response in handle_info(:firmata, {:i2c_response: value})
Firmata.Board.sysex_write(state.firmata, @i2c_request, <<@i2c_channel, @i2c_mode.read, @read_bytes>>)
# Take a reading every second
Process.send_after(self(), :read_i2c, 1000)
{:noreply, state}
end

def handle_info({:firmata, {:pin_map, pin_map}}, state) do
#We wait until we know all the pin mappings before starting our interfaces
Logger.info "Ready: Pin Map #{inspect pin_map}"
{:noreply, state |> init_board}
end

def handle_info({:elixir_serial, _serial, data}, %{board: board} = state) do
send(board, {:serial, data})
{:noreply, state}
end

def handle_info({:firmata, {:version, major, minor}}, state) do
Logger.info "Firmware Version: v#{major}.#{minor}"
{:noreply, state}
end

def handle_info({:firmata, {:firmware_name, name}}, state) do
Logger.info "Firmware Name: #{name}"
{:noreply, state}
end

def handle_info({:firmata, {:string_data, value}}, state) do
Logger.debug value
{:noreply, state}
end

def handle_info({:firmata, {:i2c_response, <>} = payload}, state) do
Logger.debug "Payload: #{inspect payload}"
Logger.debug "Channel: #{channel}"
Logger.debug "Raw Value: #{inspect value}"
Logger.debug "Parsed Value: #{inspect value |> parse_ascii}"
{:noreply, state}
end

def handle_info({:firmata, info}, state) do
Logger.error "Unknown Firmata Data: #{inspect info}"
{:noreply, state}
end

defp parse_ascii(data), do: for n <- data, n != <<0>>, into: "", do: n

end
```

### FirmataTest.Analog
```elixir
defmodule FirmataTest.Analog do
use GenServer
require Logger
@report 1
@no_report 0

defmodule State do
defstruct firmata: nil, channel: nil, value: 0
end

def start_link(firmata, channel, name \\ nil) do
GenServer.start_link(__MODULE__, [firmata, channel], name: name)
end

def init([firmata, channel]) do
#Set our analog channel/pin to "report" which means to report values to this process
Firmata.Board.report_analog_channel(firmata, channel, @report)
{:ok, %State{firmata: firmata, channel: channel}}
end

def handle_info({:firmata, {:analog_read, channel, value}}, %{channel: s_channel} = state) when channel === s_channel do
Logger.debug "#{__MODULE__} on #{channel}: #{inspect value}"
#Update our state with the latest value
{:noreply, %State{state | value: value}}
end

end
```

## Installation

If [available in Hex](https://hex.pm/docs/publish), the package can be installed as:

1. Add firmata to your list of dependencies in `mix.exs`:

def deps do
[{:firmata, "~> 0.0.2"}]
end

2. Ensure firmata is started before your application:

def application do
[applications: [:firmata]]
end
