## ◆ sleep()

void SerialWombatChip::sleep | ( |  | ) |
| inline

Shuts down most functions of the Serial Wombat chip reducing power consumption.

This command stops the Serial Wombat chip's internal clock, greatly reducing power consumption. The host is responsible for configuring outputs to a safe state prior to calling sleep.

Warning
  This command does not cause any sort of shutdown routine to run. The chip just stops. Outputs, including PWM, Servo and Protected Outputs, may retain their logic levels at the moment the sleep command is processed. In other words, they may stay high or low as long as the chip is in sleep.

Definition at line 1094 of file SerialWombat.h.

## ◆ wake()

void SerialWombatChip::wake | ( |  | ) |
| inline

Called to send a dummy packet to the Serial Wombat chip to wake it from sleep and ready it for other commands.

## ◆ writeFlashRow()

int16_t SerialWombatChip::writeFlashRow | ( | uint32_t | address | ) |
| inline

Writes a row in flash. Intended for use with the Bootloader, not by end users outside of bootloading sketc.

## ◆ writeFrameTimerPin()

int16_t SerialWombatChip::writeFrameTimerPin | ( | uint8_t | pin | ) |
| inline

Set a pin to be a frame timer for system utilization (SW18AB Only)

Returns
  0 or positive for success or negative error code

This command configures a Serial Wombat 18AB Pin to be a frame timer. This frame goes high at the beginning of pin processing, and low after all pins have been serviced. The duty cycle of this pin is an indicator of the Serial Wombat Chip's CPU utilization. This pin has a frequency of 1kHz corresponding to the 1000 frames per second executive. Most multimeters will filter this pin to a voltage, so the CPU utilization can be seen as a fraction of the system voltage. Only one pin can be the Frame Timer pin at a time.

## ◆ writePublicData()

uint16_t SerialWombatChip::writePublicData | ( | uint8_t | pin,
|  | uint16_t | value )
| inline

Write a 16 bit value to a Serial Wombat pin Mode.

Parameters

  pin | The pin number to which to write
  value | The 16 bit value to write

Definition at line 716 of file SerialWombat.h.

## ◆ writeRamAddress()

int16_t SerialWombatChip::writeRamAddress | ( | uint16_t | address,
|  | uint8_t | value )
| inline

Write byte to Address in RAM based on 16 bit address.

Most Arduino users should not need this command.

This command can be used to write variables and registers within the Serial Wombat Chip Note that write registers may have unintended side effects. See the microcontroller datasheet for details.

Note that Note that the PIC16F15214 used in the SW4A and SW4B chips is a Microchip Enhanced Mid-Range chip with both a banked RAM area and a Linear RAM area at an offset address. See the datasheet for details. It's wierd to people who are unfamilliar with it. The same location can have two different addresses.

Addresses are not validated to be available in a given chip's address range.

Parameters

  address | A 16-bit address pointing to a location in the Serial Wombat Chip's memory map
  value | An 8 bit value to be written to RAM

## ◆ writeUserBuffer() [3/3]

int SerialWombatChip::writeUserBuffer | ( | uint16_t | index,
|  | uint8_t * | buffer,
|  | uint16_t | count )
| inline

Write bytes to the User Memory Buffer in the Serial Wombat chip.

Parameters

  index | The index into the User Buffer array of bytes where the data should be loaded
  buffer | a pointer to an array of bytes to be loaded into the User Buffer array
  number | of bytes to load

Returns
  Number of bytes written or error code.

## Member Data Documentation

## ◆ _supplyVoltagemV

uint16_t SerialWombatChip::_supplyVoltagemV = 0

Stores the last value retreived by readSupplyVoltage_mV(). Used by SerialWombatAnalogInput class to calculate mV outputs from retreived A/D counts.
