@Paul:
Minor edit to LFSIntegrity to HALT on failed myfs.begin() :: github.com/PaulStoffregen/LittleFS/pull/11

KurtE · Apr 6, 2021

@Paul - Not sure if you want to pick this up soon or not... But there is a new update to: https://github.com/greiman/SdFat-beta
It now supports UTF-8 filenames...

Plus he update the configuration file where it checks first to see if a define is set and only use default if not set:
https://github.com/greiman/SdFat-beta/blob/master/src/SdFatConfig.h#L218
The one location in the link is one I wish he defaulted to ON...

Perhaps we should review the PAD settings for I2C and use very conserative settings.
From my experients they work well, even for higher I2C speeds and may cause less problems.

edit: Perhaps the folks with your I2c tester board can try that?

Or, we could add a general usable function pinMode(pin, const output, speed, strength, slewRate) something like that..

Audio ladder filter (Richard van Hoesel)

Oooh tell me more - I can't find it in the audio design tool, presumably because it's still experimental?

AUDIO Library : Ladder filter degrades signal/noise ratio ?

... not sure where to post this one which relates to the audio library new ladder filter.

I am using 16 Waveform oscillators routed to 4 ladder filters.
When turning on the oscillators (amplitude > 0.f) a fixed frequency noise (NOT the oscillators frequency) is generated to the line output even when input/output mixers are set with a gain of 0.

This does not happen if no ladder filter is present.

If all the output mixer gains are set to zero there should be silence. If not perhaps there is a shortage of Audio buffers or CPU time?
The ladder filter is expensive in CPU time as it has to do rate conversion.

Just added audio processor and memory measures :

Code:

20:10:11.806 -> | Processor Usage = 16.66 | Memory Buffers Usage = 16 |
20:10:12.807 -> | Processor Usage = 16.66 | Memory Buffers Usage = 1 |
20:10:13.840 -> | Processor Usage = 16.66 | Memory Buffers Usage = 16 |
20:10:14.810 -> | Processor Usage = 16.66 | Memory Buffers Usage = 1 |

If the digital stream is not stuttering and is all zeros, what remains can only be noise on the supply rail getting into
the analog output. This noise will be pattern sensitive and could conceivably be only audible in some configurations
of the audio objects.

The audio shield in particular doesn't have separate analog and digital grounds and supplies.

Thanks for the advice... however, this shows an important limit for its use... meanwhile I will try to investigate further (checking the audio stream, reduce the configuration). Any suggestions welcome!

Just tried with a SINGLE ladder filter with 4 osc. The issue is still alive and the same fixed frequency is still audible - though attenuated -...
I don't know how to reliably check the contents of the digital stream...

AudioAnalyzePeak can do this I think.

Thanks Mark, this allowed me to do some more tests, and... here are my findings:

1 - The ladder filter will induce some significant unwanted fixed frequency noise when (at least) one mixer is used in the sketch. The noise occurs when the AudioFilterLadder::LPF() method is invoked for each of the 4 stages of the filter (which is quite compute intensive...).

2 - Using "peak" I discovered a strange difference of behavior between amp and mixer. In the following tests, the gain of amp or mixer is always 0.0 (no sound). Every second the amplitude of the waveform is toggled between 0.0 (stop) and 0.1 alternatively which should result to no sound being issued to the I2S/peak.

2.1 - Using waveform -> amp -> ladder

The peak is stable and the result is as follows :

Code:

18:41:39.922 -> Peak with osc Amplitude set to  : 0.10 => 1.00003052
18:41:40.920 -> Peak with osc Amplitude set to  : 0.00 => 1.00003052
18:41:41.940 -> Peak with osc Amplitude set to  : 0.10 => 1.00003052
18:41:42.948 -> Peak with osc Amplitude set to  : 0.00 => 1.00003052

The sketch does not generate unwanted noise.
No fixed frequency noise from Ladder filter : Expected behaviour.

  toggle = (toggle)?0:1;
  oscAmp = (toggle)?0.1:0.0;
  
  waveform1.amplitude(oscAmp);

}

2.1 - Using SAME code with a mixer in place of the amp :
(All the mixer gains are set to 0.f)

The result is :

Code:

18:51:48.823 -> Peak with osc Amplitude set to  : 0.00 => 1.00003052
18:51:49.838 -> Peak with osc Amplitude set to  : 0.10 => 0.00000000
18:51:50.837 -> Peak with osc Amplitude set to  : 0.00 => 1.00003052
18:51:51.854 -> Peak with osc Amplitude set to  : 0.10 => 0.00000000
18:51:52.838 -> Peak with osc Amplitude set to  : 0.00 => 1.00003052
18:51:53.826 -> Peak with osc Amplitude set to  : 0.10 => 0.00000000

We can see a peak change every second AND a (ladder filter) unwanted fixed frequency noise can be heard.

2.3 - Removing the ladder filter from the sketch

The peak results are as follow :

19:03:44.907 -> Peak with osc Amplitude set to : 0.00 => 1.00003052
19:03:45.890 -> Peak with osc Amplitude set to : 0.10 => 0.00000000
19:03:46.878 -> Peak with osc Amplitude set to : 0.00 => 1.00003052
19:03:47.878 -> Peak with osc Amplitude set to : 0.10 => 0.00000000
19:03:48.898 -> Peak with osc Amplitude set to : 0.00 => 1.00003052

We can see the peak changing every second, and, no unwanted fixed frequency noise can be heard.

  toggle = (toggle)?0:1;
  oscAmp = (toggle)?0.1:0.0;
  
  waveform1.amplitude(oscAmp);
}

This looks strange (as the code for Mixer and Amp look very similar)...
Let me know if anyone get an idea to investigate further. This ladder filter fixed freq background noise is a real pain...

You're results from peak1.read() are spurious unless you first check peak1.available().

I've had a play with the example and I see only zeroes coming out - this is likely EMI on the rails therefore.

I double checked by hooking my 'scope to the LRCLK1 and OUT1A I2S pins and confirmed all zeros are
being sent.

I couldn't hear anything on the headphone output other than very low level noise that I'd expect, but I did
pick up some odd occasional glitches on the line out every few seconds, which seem to be ultrasonic:

This might be a red herring I suppose, perhaps some artifact of the SGTL5000 noise-shaping.

I am wondering how you have your audio ground set up for listening to the line-out signals - there's
plenty of scope for accidentally having a ground-loop which could explain the noise break-through.

Thanks Mark, this allowed me to do some more tests, and... here are my findings:

Please stick with title of thread (comments on, issues with TD1.54b7) and create different thread for detailed discussion on your program implementation

lg87783 · Apr 17, 2021

OK WMXZ . Thanks to Mark I found the problem on my side. Not a problem related to ladder filter implementation (TD1.54b7).
Apologies...

Updates for 1.54?

fix T3/T4 randomSeed()

add T4 slow PWM

Were you able to find what your problem is?

Teensy LC emu-EEPROM issue.

defragster suggested I mention the problem with EEPROM Corruption on the Teensy LC.

Hi, I'm having a problem uploading to a T4.1: After booting my PC I can usually program it fine once or twice. After that, Teensyloader can't reset the board and won't upload the sketch. I can observe that the orange and red leds on the Teensy shine at half brightness (or 50% duty cycle?) There also ist a light flicker in the red led. I have tried the 15s reset - which still works fine - but after that the Teensy still cannot be programmed.
Can this be an issue with this beta (which I am using)?
Can this type of issue stem from the contents of the sketch? I am trying to get TeensyThreads running for my purpose.

After a 15s Restore of the factory blink code - it takes a button press to program as it does not include USB.

Generally failure like described is caused by bad code. Though Red bootloader LED and the Orange Pin==13 LED at the same time is odd soudning?

After a 15s Restore cycle make a simple blink - perhaps adding Serial.print(millis()) when it blinks to see that work after a button press

Then upload that same sketch multiple times to see it function as it should if cable and the computer USB are working right.

Beta 7 of TD 1.54 has been out some time and working well in general if install not corrupted.

Thanks for your comment, I reinstalled the beta and it seems to be working fine now.

The IR Remote Library supplied in Teensduino is WAY out of date.
The latest revision is 3.31, the one supplied in TeensyDuino is revision vs 2.23 dating from March 2017.

Are there problems with it?
