/* Chinese Heater Half Duplex Serial Data Sending Tool Connects to the blue wire of a Chinese heater, which is the half duplex serial link. Sends and receives data from hardware serial port 1. Terminology: Tx is to the heater unit, Rx is from the heater unit. Typical data frame timing on the blue wire is: __Tx_Rx____________________________Tx_Rx____________________________Tx_Rx___________ This software can connect to the blue wire in a normal OEM system, detecting the OEM controller and allowing extraction of the data or injecting on/off commands. If Pin 21 is grounded on the Due, this simple stream will be reported over Serial and no control from the Arduino will be allowed. This allows sniffing of the blue wire in a normal system. The binary data is received from the line. If it has been > 100ms since the last blue wire activity this indicates a new frame sequence is starting from the OEM controller. Synchronise as such then count off the next 24 bytes storing them in the Controller's data array. These bytes are then reported over Serial to the PC in ASCII. It is then expected the heater will respond with it's 24 bytes. Capture those bytes and store them in the Heater1 data array. Once again these bytes are then reported over Serial to the PC in ASCII. If no activity is sensed in a second, it is assumed no controller is attached and we have full control over the heater. Either way we can now inject a message onto the blue wire allowing our custom on/off control. We must remain synchronous with the OEM controller if it exists otherwise E-07 faults will be caused. Typical data frame timing on the blue wire is then: __OEMTx_HtrRx__OurTx_HtrRx____________OEMTx_HtrRx__OurTx_HtrRx____________OEMTx_HtrRx__OurTx_HtrRx_________ The second HtrRx to the next OEMTx delay is always > 100ms and is paced by the OEM controller. The delay before seeing Heater Rx data after any Tx is usually much less than 10ms. But this does rise if new max/min or voltage settings are sent. **The heater only ever sends Rx data in response to a data frame from a controller** A HC-05 Bluetooth module is attached to Serial2: TXD -> Rx2 (pin 17) RXD -> Tx2 (pin 16) EN(key) -> pin 15 This code only works with boards that have more than one hardware serial port like Arduino Mega, Due, Zero etc. The circuit: - a Tx Rx multiplexer is required to combine the Arduino's Tx1 And Rx1 pins onto the blue wire. - a Tx Enable signal from pin 20 controls the multiplexer - Serial logging software on Serial0 via USB link created 23 Sep 2018 by Ray Jones This example code is in the public domain. */ #include "Protocol.h" #include "TxManage.h" #include "pins.h" #include "NVStorage.h" #include "debugport.h" #define DEBUG_BTRX #include "Bluetooth.h" #if defined(__arm__) // Required for Arduino Due, UARTclass is derived from HardwareSerial static UARTClass& BlueWire(Serial1); #else // for ESP32, Mega // HardwareSerial is it for these boards static HardwareSerial& BlueWire(Serial1); #endif class CommStates { public: // comms states enum eCS { Idle, OEMCtrlRx, OEMCtrlReport, HeaterRx1, HeaterReport1, BTC_Tx, HeaterRx2, HeaterReport2 }; CommStates() { set(Idle); } void set(eCS eState) { m_State = eState; m_Count = 0; } bool is(eCS eState) { return m_State == eState; } bool collectData(CProtocol& Frame, unsigned char val, int limit = 24) { // returns true when buffer filled Frame.Data[m_Count++] = val; return m_Count == limit; } private: int m_State; int m_Count; }; CommStates CommState; CTxManage TxManage(TxEnbPin, BlueWire); CProtocol OEMCtrlFrame; // data packet received from heater in response to OEM controller packet CProtocol HeaterFrame1; // data packet received from heater in response to OEM controller packet CProtocol HeaterFrame2; // data packet received from heater in response to our packet CProtocol DefaultBTCParams(CProtocol::CtrlMode); // defines the default parameters, used in case of no OEM controller long lastRxTime; // used to observe inter character delays bool hasOEMController = false; // setup Non Volatile storage // this is very much hardware dependent, we can use the ESP32's FLASH #ifdef ESP32 CESP32HeaterStorage NVStorage; #else CHeaterStorage NVStorage; // dummy, for now #endif CHeaterStorage* pNVStorage = NULL; void PrepareTxFrame(const CProtocol& basisFrame, CProtocol& TxFrame, bool isBTCmaster); void setup() { // initialize serial port to interact with the "blue wire" // 25000 baud, Tx and Rx channels of Chinese heater comms interface: // Tx/Rx data to/from heater, // Note special baud rate for Chinese heater controllers pinMode(Tx2Pin, OUTPUT); digitalWrite(Tx2Pin, HIGH); pinMode(Rx2Pin, INPUT_PULLUP); pinMode(ListenOnlyPin, INPUT_PULLUP); pinMode(KeyPin, OUTPUT); digitalWrite(KeyPin, LOW); #if defined(__arm__) || defined(__AVR__) BlueWire.begin(25000); pinMode(Rx1Pin, INPUT_PULLUP); // required for MUX to work properly #elif ESP32 // ESP32 BlueWire.begin(25000, SERIAL_8N1, Rx1Pin, Tx1Pin); // need to explicitly specify pins for pin multiplexer!
