Compatibility of C and C++: The C and C++ programming languages are closely related but have many significant differences.

String class & string array:

• Arduino Built-In Examples - Strings
• Initializing a Char*[] string, char* perc = "%";
char mystr[] = {'h','i',0};
char* myotherstring = "my other string";
char* mythirdstring = "goodbye";

char* myarr[] = {0};
char* myarr[] = {&mystr, myotherstring};
char* myarr[10];
char* myarr[10] = {0};
char* myarr[10] = {&mystr, myotherstring, mythirdstring, 0};
• String.toCharArray(buf, len), len = No. of characters + 1 ('\0')
  String myString;
char buf[10];
myString.toCharArray(buf, myString.length() + 1);

  How to convert String to char array in C++?: (more efficient?)
  int main()
{
  string str = "Tutorialspoint";
  char buf[str.length() + 1]; // (str.size() ?)
  strcpy(buf, str.c_str());
}

• How to convert flash char array to String in Arduino Uno?
  One can use a cast to __FlashStringHelper to invoke the right constructor of the String class. It is the constructor which copies the char array from PROGMEM. __FlashStringHelper is intended as return type for the F() macro.
  const char charArray[] PROGMEM = "Some text";
void setup() {
  Serial.begin(115200);
  String s((const __FlashStringHelper*) charArray);
  Serial.println(s);
}
void loop() {
}

• Convert character array to string in Arduino:
  void setup() {
// put your setup code here, to run once:
  Serial.begin(9600);
  Serial.println();
  char buf[10] = "Hello!";
  Serial.print("Char array: ");
  Serial.println(buf);
  String s = String(buf);
  Serial.print("String: ");
  Serial.println(s);
}
void loop() {
// put your main code here, to run repeatedly:

• On an ESP32: Is using the F()Macro as pointless as using PROGMEM?
  Storing constants in flash on ESP32?:
  No other processor uses the proprietary AVR progmem stuff.
  In most other processors you don´t have the limitation that the AVR has so you can use const and directly access the data rather the way C/C++ intended rather than have to jump through hoops using progmem and indirect access functions.
  All the complexity of using indirect access functions is due to the AVR limitation of not being able to directly access the flash.
  ESP32 const char [] // maximum for Flash Memory?
  Constant data in flash memory / program space?:
  Constant data is stored in flash by default in ESP32, and can be accessed on byte, half-word and word basis. You need to use ´const´ qualifier in your program to mark the data constant.

• Using PROGMEM with sprintf_P, to use sprintf_P with both format string and arguments stored in PROGMEM in Arduino Uno.
  Here´s the correct syntax:
  char header_1[] PROGMEM = "Dissolved O2";
char buffer[100];
void setup() {
   Serial.begin(57600);
   sprintf_P(buffer,PSTR( "The column header is %S") ,header_1);
   Serial.println(buffer);
}
void loop(){}
Note that the %S has a capital S because header_1 is in PROGMEM.

A binary semaphore can be used as a Mutex but a Mutex can never be used as a semaphore. The Mutex is a locking mechanism that makes sure only one thread (task) can acquire the Mutex at a time and enter the critical section. This thread only releases the Mutex when it exits the critical section.

    It can be used to unblock a task each time a particular interrupt occurs effectively synchronizing the task with the interrupt. This allows the majority of the interrupt event processing to be implemented within the synchronized task with only a very fast and short portion remaining directly in the interrupt service routine. This is also known as deferred interrupts processing.
    Deferred interrupt processing will typically involve recording the reason for the interrupt and clearing the interrupt within the ISR, but then unblocking an RTOS task so the processing necessitated by the interrupt can be performed by the unblocked task, rather than within the ISR.
    If the task to which interrupt processing is deferred is assigned a high enough priority then the ISR will return directly to the unblocked task (the interrupt will interrupt one task, but then return to a different task), resulting in all the processing necessitated by the interrupt being performed contiguously in time (without a gap), just as if all the processing had been performed in the ISR itself.
  • FreeRTOS Queues, freertos.org
    Queues are the primary form of intertask communications. They can be used to send messages between tasks, and between interrupts and tasks. In most cases they are used as thread safe FIFO (First In First Out) buffers with new data being sent to the back of the queue, although data can also be sent to the front.
    Deferred interrupts processing II: In your abstraction layer for the esp32 you can create a task that waits on some queue. In the interrupt routine [ISR] only post to the queue and return. The task you created then will wake up and call the callback. källa
  • Espressif FreeRTOS Queue API, how to use in an interrupt service routine ISR
  • FreeRTOS Interrupt Management Examples with Arduino, Microcontrollerslab
    FreeRTOS interrupt provides an interrupt safe version of queue API to read and write data from queues using ISR. These are the two API functions: xQueueSendToBackFromISR(), xQueueReceiveFromISR().
  • ESP32 Interrupt Latency Measurement, is roughly 1.8µs with the CPU running @ 240MHz.
  • ESP32 High Resolution Timer, int64_t esp_timer_get_time() returns 64-bit time since startup, in microseconds (µs). int64 = 292,5 years before overflow at µs resolution! The millis() overlows after 49,7days!
    Unlike gettimeofday function, values returned by esp_timer_get_time() start from zero after startup or the chip wakes up from deep sleep and do not have timezone or DST adjustments applied.
    The millis() can be called in an ISR but it doesn´t increment inside it but gives the time for the interrupt. The esp_timer_get_time() can also be called in an ISR, and do probably not increment either.
  • Interrupt allocation, Care should be taken when allocating an interrupt using a task not pinned to a certain core; while running code not in a critical secion, these tasks can migrate between cores at any moment, possibly making an interrupt operation fail because of the reasons mentioned above. It is advised to always use xTaskCreatePinnedToCore with a specific CoreID argument to create tasks that will handle interrupts.
    - Allocating an external interrupt will always allocate it on the core that does the allocation.
    - Freeing an external interrupt must always happen on the same core it was allocated on.
    - Disabling and enabling external interrupts from another core is allowed.
    - ISR can´t be migrated between cores, so they´re defacto ´pinned´ to a core. The core is the one that installs the interrupt.
    - Functions called by a Task runs on the same core as the task.
  • Interrupt allocation, Docs Espressif
    The ESP32 has two cores, with 32 interrupts each. Each interrupt has a certain priority level, most (but not all) interrupts are connected to the interrupt mux.
    Because there are more interrupt sources than interrupts, sometimes it makes sense to share an interrupt in multiple drivers.

    Binary semaphores and mutexes are very similar but have some subtle differences: Mutexes include a priority inheritance mechanism, binary semaphores do not. This makes binary semaphores the better choice for implementing synchronisation (between tasks or between tasks and an interrupt), and mutexes the better choice for implementing simple mutual exclusion.

    ^1.) 80MHz/PWMsteps (8MHz can also be selected) - CPU frequency dependent?
  • The ESP32 PWM hardware has 16 different channels, not pins. You can assign any of these channels to any GPIO pin that you want. But it has to have an output driver or in other words, it should be capable of operating as an output pin.
    The ESP32 PWM controller has 8 high-speed channels and 8 low-speed channels, which gives us a total of 16 channels. They´re divided into two groups depending on the speed. For each group, there are 4 timers / 8 channels. This means every two channels share the same timer. Therefore, we can´t independently control the PWM frequency of each couple of channels.
    So this means we´ve got 16 channels that we can control their PWM duty cycle independently. But the frequency has to be shared between each couple of channels routed to the same timer. ESP32 PWM Tutorial & Examples

Gjorde några precision strömmätningar för Arduino Uno R3 och ESP32 UNO D1 R32 med exakt samma sketch kompilerad i båda och med samma Olimex Shield-LCD 16x2 på båda.
Med släckt bakgrundsbelysning blev det då:
- Arduino Uno R3 16MHz: 57mA
- ESP32 UNO D1 R32 240MHz: 50mA
- ESP32 UNO D1 R32 10MHz: 20mA
Och med tänd bakgrundsbelysning 33% intensitet +8mA mer.
Strömmatade via USB under mätningarna.
Så trots så extremt mycket mer prestanda är ESP32 strömsnålare, samt har flexibiliteten att man kan anpassa dess klockfrekvens dynamiskt i drift till ens behov för att kunna få strömsnålare drift när det passar.
