Not sure why it segfaults, just want to say that that method is really
bad. Because of Pd's control rate as well as the serial interface
latency, your timing will be really sketchy. The way to do what you
want is to implement the ranging entirely on the arduino and send the
values back to Pd via [comport]. So a Pd [pulseIn] object shoud simply
send a request to the arduino to start a pulse and return the time. It
could be implemented as an abstraction containing [comport].
I'm not using serial to read gpio state but fopen() (may be fopen() is
not fast enough), like in a raspberry (but it's not on raspberry), I
will try to do this with python and use pdsend for retrieving value into
puredata.
thank you for the advice.

Hello, I'm trying to implement the pulseIn() function we can find
in arduino libraries into an external.
I couldn't make it work because some part doesn't seem to behave
like I expect so I'm wondering if it's caused by puredata process,
so maybe someone in the list could enlight me about that.
The purpose of the external is about using an ultrasound sensor
connected on gpio that require a microsecond timer for getting
distance like this:
//here is a custom timer using a struct provided by pcduino headers:
#include core.h
unsigned long pat_micros() {
struct timeval tv;
gettimeofday(&tv,NULL);
return tv.tv_sec*(uint64_t)1000000+tv.tv_usec;
}
//here is the custom pulseIn() function:
unsigned long pat_pulseIn(t_pdpcduino *x, int pin)
{
unsigned long timeout = 100000;
unsigned long start = pat_micros();
while( pdpcduino_gpio_read2 (x, pin) == 1 )
if( pat_micros() - start > timeout )
return 0;
// this is where I'm getting a segmentation fault:
while ( pdpcduino_gpio_read2 (x, pin) == 0 )
if( pat_micros() - start > timeout )
return 0;
//...
unsigned long value = pat_micros();
while( pdpcduino_gpio_read2 (x, pin) == 1 )
if( pat_micros() - start > timeout )
return 0;
return pat_micros() - value;
}
//...
If I reduce the timeout number, segfault comes randomly after this
function has been triggered, so I'm wondering if this method is
really appropriate,
is there an exemple of external (containing such while loops) I
could get inspired from to write this pulseIn() function?
