Remote Control (RMT)¶
The RMT (Remote Control) module driver can be used to send and receive infrared remote control signals. Due to flexibility of RMT module, the driver can also be used to generate or receive many other types of signals.
The signal, which consists of a series of pulses, is generated by RMT’s transmitter based on a list of values. The values define the pulse duration and a binary level, see below. The transmitter can also provide a carrier and modulate it with provided pulses.
RMT Transmitter Overview¶
The reverse operation is performed by the receiver, where a series of pulses is decoded into a list of values containing the pulse duration and binary level. A filter may be applied to remove high frequency noise from the input signal.
RMT Receiver Overview¶
There couple of typical steps to setup and operate the RMT and they are discussed in the following sections:
The RMT has four channels numbered from zero to three. Each channel is able to independently transmit or receive data. They are referred to using indexes defined in structure rmt_channel_t
.
Configure Driver¶
There are several parameters that define how particular channel operates. Most of these parameters are configured by setting specific members of rmt_config_t
structure. Some of the parameters are common to both transmit or receive mode, and some are mode specific. They are all discussed below.
Common Parameters¶
The channel to be configured, select one from the
rmt_channel_t
enumerator.The RMT operation mode - whether this channel is used to transmit or receive data, selected by setting a rmt_mode members to one of the values from
rmt_mode_t
.What is the pin number to transmit or receive RMT signals, selected by setting gpio_num.
How many memory blocks will be used by the channel, set with mem_block_num.
Extra miscellaneous parameters for the channel can be set in the flags.
When RMT_CHANNEL_FLAGS_AWARE_DFS is set, RMT channel will take REF_TICK or XTAL as source clock. The benefit is, RMT channel can continue work even when APB clock is changing. See power_management for more information.
When RMT_CHANNEL_FLAGS_INVERT_SIG is set, the driver will invert the RMT signal sending to or receiving from the channel. It just works like an external inverter connected to the GPIO of certain RMT channel.
A clock divider, that will determine the range of pulse length generated by the RMT transmitter or discriminated by the receiver. Selected by setting clk_div to a value within [1 .. 255] range. The RMT source clock is typically APB CLK, 80Mhz by default. But when RMT_CHANNEL_FLAGS_AWARE_DFS is set in flags, RMT source clock is changed to REF_TICK or XTAL.
注解
The period of a square wave after the clock divider is called a ‘tick’. The length of the pulses generated by the RMT transmitter or discriminated by the receiver is configured in number of ‘ticks’.
There are also couple of specific parameters that should be set up depending if selected channel is configured in Transmit Mode or Receive Mode:
Transmit Mode¶
When configuring channel in transmit mode, set tx_config and the following members of rmt_tx_config_t
:
Transmit the currently configured data items in a loop - loop_en
Enable the RMT carrier signal - carrier_en
Frequency of the carrier in Hz - carrier_freq_hz
Duty cycle of the carrier signal in percent (%) - carrier_duty_percent
Level of the RMT output, when the carrier is applied - carrier_level
Enable the RMT output if idle - idle_output_en
Set the signal level on the RMT output if idle - idle_level
Specify maximum number of transmissions in a loop - loop_count
Receive Mode¶
In receive mode, set rx_config and the following members of rmt_rx_config_t
:
Enable a filter on the input of the RMT receiver - filter_en
A threshold of the filter, set in the number of ticks - filter_ticks_thresh. Pulses shorter than this setting will be filtered out. Note, that the range of entered tick values is [0..255].
A pulse length threshold that will turn the RMT receiver idle, set in number of ticks - idle_threshold. The receiver will ignore pulses longer than this setting.
Enable the RMT carrier demodulation - carrier_rm
Frequency of the carrier in Hz - carrier_freq_hz
Duty cycle of the carrier signal in percent (%) - carrier_duty_percent
Level of the RMT input, where the carrier is modulated to - carrier_level
Finalize Configuration¶
Once the rmt_config_t
structure is populated with parameters, it should be then invoked with rmt_config()
to make the configuration effective.
The last configuration step is installation of the driver in memory by calling rmt_driver_install()
. If rx_buf_size
parameter of this function is > 0, then a ring buffer for incoming data will be allocated. A default ISR handler will be installed, see a note in Use Interrupts.
Now, depending on how the channel is configured, we are ready to either Transmit Data or Receive Data. This is described in next two sections.
Transmit Data¶
Before being able to transmit some RMT pulses, we need to define the pulse pattern. The minimum pattern recognized by the RMT controller, later called an ‘item’, is provided in a structure rmt_item32_t
. Each item consists of two pairs of two values. The first value in a pair describes the signal duration in ticks and is 15 bits long, the second provides the signal level (high or low) and is contained in a single bit. A block of couple of items and the structure of an item is presented below.
![](../../_images/packetdiag-6edd6b7f4235fe46b9a73be25968f92ffaf26483.png)
Structure of RMT items (L - signal level)¶
For a simple example how to define a block of items see peripherals/rmt/morse_code.
The items are provided to the RMT controller by calling function rmt_write_items()
. This function also automatically triggers start of transmission. It may be called to wait for transmission completion or exit just after transmission start. In such case you can wait for the transmission end by calling rmt_wait_tx_done()
. This function does not limit the number of data items to transmit. It is using an interrupt to successively copy the new data chunks to RMT’s internal memory as previously provided data are sent out.
Another way to provide data for transmission is by calling rmt_fill_tx_items()
. In this case transmission is not started automatically. To control the transmission process use rmt_tx_start()
and rmt_tx_stop()
. The number of items to sent is restricted by the size of memory blocks allocated in the RMT controller’s internal memory, see rmt_set_mem_block_num()
.
Receive Data¶
Before starting the receiver we need some storage for incoming items. The RMT controller has 256 x 32-bits of internal RAM shared between all four channels.
In typical scenarios it is not enough as an ultimate storage for all incoming (and outgoing) items. Therefore this API supports retrieval of incoming items on the fly to save them in a ring buffer of a size defined by the user. The size is provided when calling rmt_driver_install()
discussed above. To get a handle to this buffer call rmt_get_ringbuf_handle()
.
With the above steps complete we can start the receiver by calling rmt_rx_start()
and then move to checking what’s inside the buffer. To do so, you can use common FreeRTOS functions that interact with the ring buffer. Please see an example how to do it in peripherals/rmt/ir_protocols.
To stop the receiver, call rmt_rx_stop()
.
Change Operation Parameters¶
Previously described function rmt_config()
provides a convenient way to set several configuration parameters in one shot. This is usually done on application start. Then, when the application is running, the API provides an alternate way to update individual parameters by calling dedicated functions. Each function refers to the specific RMT channel provided as the first input parameter. Most of the functions have _get_ counterpart to read back the currently configured value.
Parameters Common to Transmit and Receive Mode¶
Selection of a GPIO pin number on the input or output of the RMT -
rmt_set_gpio()
Number of memory blocks allocated for the incoming or outgoing data -
rmt_set_mem_pd()
Setting of the clock divider -
rmt_set_clk_div()
Selection of the clock source, note that currently one clock source is supported, the APB clock which is 80Mhz -
rmt_set_source_clk()
Transmit Mode Parameters¶
Enable or disable the loop back mode for the transmitter -
rmt_set_tx_loop_mode()
Binary level on the output to apply the carrier -
rmt_set_tx_carrier()
, selected fromrmt_carrier_level_t
Determines the binary level on the output when transmitter is idle -
rmt_set_idle_level()
, selected fromrmt_idle_level_t
Enable or disable loop count feature to automatically transmit items for N iterations, then trigger an ISR callback -
rmt_set_tx_loop_count()
Enable automatically stopping when the number of iterations matches the set loop count. Note this is not reliable for target that doesn’t support SOC_RMT_SUPPORT_TX_LOOP_AUTOSTOP. -
rmt_enable_tx_loop_autostop()
Receive Mode Parameters¶
The filter setting -
rmt_set_rx_filter()
The receiver threshold setting -
rmt_set_rx_idle_thresh()
Whether the transmitter or receiver is entitled to access RMT’s memory -
rmt_set_memory_owner()
, selection is fromrmt_mem_owner_t
.
Use Interrupts¶
Registering of an interrupt handler for the RMT controller is done be calling rmt_isr_register()
.
注解
When calling rmt_driver_install()
to use the system RMT driver, a default ISR is being installed. In such a case you cannot register a generic ISR handler with rmt_isr_register()
.
The RMT controller triggers interrupts on four specific events describes below. To enable interrupts on these events, the following functions are provided:
The RMT receiver has finished receiving a signal -
rmt_set_rx_intr_en()
The RMT transmitter has finished transmitting the signal -
rmt_set_tx_intr_en()
The number of events the transmitter has sent matches a threshold value
rmt_set_tx_thr_intr_en()
Ownership to the RMT memory block has been violated -
rmt_set_err_intr_en()
Setting or clearing an interrupt enable mask for specific channels and events may be also done by calling rmt_set_intr_enable_mask()
or rmt_clr_intr_enable_mask()
.
When servicing an interrupt within an ISR, the interrupt need to explicitly cleared. To do so, set specific bits described as RMT.int_clr.val.chN_event_name
and defined as a volatile struct
in soc/esp32s2/include/soc/rmt_struct.h, where N is the RMT channel number [0, n] and the event_name
is one of four events described above.
If you do not need an ISR anymore, you can deregister it by calling a function rmt_isr_deregister()
.
警告
It’s not recommended for users to register an interrupt handler in their applications. RMT driver is highly dependent on interrupt, especially when doing transaction in a ping-pong way, so the driver itself has registered a default handler called rmt_driver_isr_default
.
Instead, if what you want is to get a notification when transaction is done, go ahead with rmt_register_tx_end_callback()
.
Uninstall Driver¶
If the RMT driver has been installed with rmt_driver_install()
for some specific period of time and then not required, the driver may be removed to free allocated resources by calling rmt_driver_uninstall()
.

Using RMT to drive RGB LED strip: peripherals/rmt/led_strip.

typedef void (*
sample_to_rmt_t
)(const void *src, rmt_item32_t *dest, size_t src_size, size_t wanted_num, size_t *translated_size, size_t *item_num)¶ User callback function to convert uint8_t type data to rmt format(rmt_item32_t).
This function may be called from an ISR, so, the code should be short and efficient.
- Note
In fact, item_num should be a multiple of translated_size, e.g. : When we convert each byte of uint8_t type data to rmt format data, the relation between item_num and translated_size should be
item_num = translated_size*8
.- Parameters
src
: Pointer to the buffer storing the raw data that needs to be converted to rmt format.[out] dest
: Pointer to the buffer storing the rmt format data.src_size
: The raw data size.wanted_num
: The number of rmt format data that wanted to get.[out] translated_size
: The size of the raw data that has been converted to rmt format, it should return 0 if no data is converted in user callback.[out] item_num
: The number of the rmt format data that actually converted to, it can be less than wanted_num if there is not enough raw data, but cannot exceed wanted_num. it should return 0 if no data was converted.
