hFramework (deprecated)

About

hFramework is a library for creating software for mechatronic devices (e.g. robots). It's completely open sorce. You can find it in the Husarion's repository on GitHub.

It has the following ports:

STM32 port for hardware created by Husarion - CORE2, CORE2mini and RoboCORE boards
Linux port for Raspberry Pi and Tinkerboard (experimental)
ESP32 port (experimental)

Using hFramework

The easiest way to experience hFramework is to use Husarion WebIDE or install Husarion plugin to Visual Studio Code. Each of these methods gives us different options. With WebIDE we can start programing our device right after unpacking and the controller does not have to be even close to us, if you just starting follow this tutorial. Programming via VSC allows us to rebuild the default implemented library but we have to connect board with computer via USB and and depending on the system we use, install several packages. full instruction of using offline development tools you can find here.

Building hFramework

If you need to change code of hFramework you have to follow the instructions from manual).

Examples

In this chapter you can find few examples of code for CORE2. You can check other examples on GitHub:

Basics

#include <hFramework.h>

void hMain()
{
for(;;)
{
Serial.printf("Hello World!"); // send string via USB Serial at 460800
sys.delay(100);
}
}

GPIO

adc

#include <hFramework.h>

void hMain()
{
hSens4.pin1.enableADC(); // enable ADC on pin1 on hSens4 port
hExt.pin1.enableADC(); // enable ADC on pin1 on hExt port
for(;;)
{
float val1 = hSens4.pin1.analogReadVoltage(); // read analog value (voltage in [V])
int val2 = hExt.pin1.analogReadRaw(); // read analog value (in range from 0 to 4095)
Serial.printf("Voltage hSens4.pin1: %f\tRaw data hExt.pin1: %d\r\n", val1, val2); // send string via USB Serial at 460800
sys.delay(100);
}
}

gpio

#include <hFramework.h>

void hMain()
{
hExt.pin1.setOut(); // setting hExt.pin1 as the output
hSens1.pin1.setOut(); // setting hSens.pin1 as the output
while (true)
{
hSens1.pin1.toggle(); // changing hSens.pin1 GPIO to opposite voltage level
hExt.pin1.toggle(); // changing hSens.pin1 GPIO to opposite voltage level
sys.delay(300);
}
}

gpio inout

#include <hFramework.h>

void hMain()
{

while (true)
{
bool value = hExt.pin1.read(); // read from pin1 on hExt
hExt.pin2.write(value); // write value to pin2 on hExt
sys.delay(300);
}
}


void hMain2()
{
hExt.pin1.setOutOD(); // setting pin1 on hExt as the output open drain mode
while (true)
{
hExt.pin1.toggle(); // changing pin1 on hExt state between high impedance and low state
sys.delay(500);
}
}

LED

LED

#include <hFramework.h>

void hMain()

hLED1.off();
hLED2.off();
hLED3.off();

while (true)
{

sys.delay(100);
}
}

Interfaces

buttons simple

#include <hFramework.h>

void hMain()
{
while (true)
{
bool state = hBtn1.isPressed(); // creating a variable containig value of hBtn1.isPressed
printf("%d\r\n", state);

if (state) // checking if the button is pressed. If it is, LEDs will be turned on
{
hLED1.on();
hLED3.on();
}
else // if it isn't, LEDs will be turned off
{
hLED1.off();
hLED3.off();
}
sys.delay(50);
}
}

Motors

char c;
while (1)
{
if (Serial.available() > 0) { // checking Serial availability
c = Serial.getch();
if(c == 'a') {
hMot3.rotRel(500, 200, false, INFINITE); //rotate by 500 ticks relatively to the current position, with 20% power
hLED1.toggle();
}
