/* debounce() function Debounce uses multiple samples to debounces switch states, where each sample contains the switch states for a row of switches, one bit per switch. Debounce uses Dr. Marty's debounce algorithm from http://drmarty.blogspot.com.br/2009/05/best-switch-debounce-routine-ever.html SPI, I2C, and TWI protocols do not include any Packet Error Checking (PEC). The goal of Marty's debounce routine is to reject spurious signals, which is useful when connecting split keyboards with a cable using SPI, I2C, or TWI. This class was tested on split keyboard with a 3-meter long telephone wire to I/O expander. Dr. Marty's debounce algorithm: Periodically read samples and update the state when a number consecutive sample bits are equal. Output from keybrd/examples/debounce_unit_test.cpp with SAMPLE_COUNT_MACRO 4: button pressed: 100000001111111110000 bouncy signal: 100001001111011110000 debounced signal: 000000000001111111110 isFallingEdge: 000000000000000000001 isRisingEdge: 000000000001000000000 There is a latency equal to SAMPLE_COUNT_MACRO, between button press and debounced signal. samples[SAMPLE_COUNT_MACRO] is a ring buffer. samplesIndex is it's current write index. SAMPLE_COUNT_MACRO is the number of consecutive equal samples needed to debounce. SAMPLE_COUNT_MACRO is a macro because it defines samples[SAMPLE_COUNT_MACRO] array size at compile time. SAMPLE_COUNT_MACRO is defined in config_keybrd.h and should be at lease 1. SAMPLE_COUNT_MACRO = 4 is very reliable for a keyboard. Split keyboards with a long connecting wire or in environment with strong electromagnetic interference (EMI) may need a larger SAMPLE_COUNT_MACRO for reliability. */ #include "Debouncer_Samples.h" /* debounce() sets debounced and returns debouncedChanged.
