@Ivan i would appreciate your advose.
also do you know if the stm32f4 would work with the adafruit neopixel library. i am considering rgb leds
Hi @Oluwadara_Olaifa ,
Doing a program like that will require to heavily modify the code. Perhaps modifying the IoPin class to do what you want it to do.
I wouldnât know. There is the LedStrip Library included in the core files, but I never tested it with the WaveTooEasy (it works fine with PropBoard). It uses the SPI on pins PB5, PA6 and PA5, so I donât think it will work on WaveTooEasy HW since PB5 is not exposed. Maybe in your board it is, or you can search for another combination of SPI pins, but again it will require some study to understand its limits on WaveTooEasy HW.
hi ivan, on my board pb5 us exposed however pb6 is in use by the i2c port for the lm49450
there are 3 ports, I2C1(PB6/7), I2C2(PB10/3), I2C3(PA8/PB4)
i2c 2 looks like the most suitable. Any idea where in the code i can change the port? then I can use the spi led controller.
if i focus my attention to the io pin class would i be able to modify it?
can i use the arduino pin naming and functions, like (digitalRead(pa0); )?
or do i need to use the io_pins[i] array (digitalRead(io_pins[2])
The function that initializes the SPI is here: https://github.com/Artekit/artekit_stm32f401-core/blob/master/libraries/SPI/src/SPI.cpp#L43
You can use digitalRead and digitalWrite with pins on the WaveTooEasy. The values for those functions can be found here: https://github.com/Artekit/artekit_stm32f401-core/blob/master/variants/wavetooeasy_v1/variant.h#L51
The mapping for the pins is here: https://github.com/Artekit/artekit_stm32f401-core/blob/master/variants/wavetooeasy_v1/variant.cpp#L47
If you use the Arduino way, you shouldnât use the IoPin class for those pins. The IoPin class is there to glue together IO handling and audio playing.
Hi, Ivan, I put modifying the button controls on hold for abit. I have been trying to swap the lm49450 to an adau1701 that also has i2s however the code seems to be deeply meshed with the i2c functions provided by the lm49450.
I also noticed a couple of files in the bootloader, do you have any advise for me concerning making these modifications.
Itâs really kicking my butt so far
I wouldnât know how to help on this. You can try to replace the 7 function calls for the codec in the Audio Manager module.
The functions for the codec are the ones starting with âlm49450â.
I donât recall files in the bootloader regarding audio.
Sorry @Oluwadara_Olaifa for the late reply.
The bootloader compiles with GCC. I used Eclipse CDT + ARM Cortex Plugin + GCC, and OpenOCD for flashing.
thanks, i have a working sketch currently for the stm32, can you suggest any improvements? i basically stole functions from the player.h file as well as the led strip library of the prop board

Hello @Oluwadara_Olaifa,
Iâm glad you could combine all the pieces together!
I can see one thing. Maybe changing
void releaseIfStopped(Player*& player)
into
void releaseIfStopped(Player* player)
Just for clarity.
hello ivan i extracted this function from your prop bord power api however i cant seem to figure out the naming convention for this " ADC_Channel_17". i changed the read battery pin to ADC_Channel_14 thinking it would be conneted to pc4 instead of pc0 that you used(ADC_Channel_10)
`uint16_t readBattery()
{
uint16_t battery;
uint16_t vrefint;
// Read VREFINT
while (ADC_GetSoftwareStartConvStatus(ADC1) != RESET);
ADC_RegularChannelConfig(ADC1, ADC_Channel_17, 1, ADC_SampleTime_84Cycles);
ADC_SoftwareStartConv(ADC1);
while (ADC_GetFlagStatus(ADC1, ADC_FLAG_EOC) == RESET);
vrefint = ADC1->DR;
while (ADC_GetSoftwareStartConvStatus(ADC1) != RESET);
ADC_RegularChannelConfig(ADC1, ADC_Channel_14, 1, ADC_SampleTime_84Cycles);
ADC_SoftwareStartConv(ADC1);
while (ADC_GetFlagStatus(ADC1, ADC_FLAG_EOC) == RESET);
battery = ADC1->DR;
battery = battery * 1210 / vrefint;
return battery / 0.233f;
}`
@ivan i am making some slight changes to the bootloader can i possibly get your gcc commands for compiling the bootloader bin
Hello,
The bootloader project is compiled from within the Eclipse environment. We donât use the command line since commands are directly generated by the IDE.
About installing Eclipse, please see this answer.
Not much luck, I have spent the last few days trying to install open CD and the other components
@Oluwadara_Olaifa Ok. If you send me a private message with your email, I can keep you updated on my daily progress on it (or bounce around ideas). (it doesnât let me send private messages here yet).
I will post here when I do finally figure it out as well for others.

Thanks for your help so far
I have run into an issue I need help with
I am trying to get the i2c to work with a serial eeprom however I am unable to get it to work with the wavetooeasy core
scl and sda are connected to portb 6 and 7 however I cant get the stm to write it read from iti am using the external eeprom library from sparkfun
do you have any advise for me?
