Serial com and external power supply

openby eleroyopened 2025-02-06updated 2025-02-23
bug

Port, board and/or hardware

rp2, raspberry pico

MicroPython version

MicroPython v1.24.1 on 2024-11-29; Raspberry Pi Pico with RP2040

Reproduction

  1. Start a code with serial printing such as:
import time

while True:
    print(time.time())
    time.sleep(0.1)    
  1. Connect external power supply (+5V or 3V3)
  2. Disconnect usb
  3. Wait ~4 s
  4. Reconnect usb

Expected behaviour

When you reconnect USB, the board should be normally detected as CDC Serial device and printing.

Observed behaviour

When you reconnect USB the board is not detected anymore and it seems the program has been interrupted.

Additional Information

I suspect something like a buffer overflow on the serial output hardware is happening.

If the usb is reconnected quickly (in 1 second or so), the board is well detected.

Code of Conduct

Yes, I agree

USB (tested with midi) not working on pico 2 (rp2350 in ARM mode only)

openby ghostopened 2024-11-15updated 2024-11-15
bug

Port, board and/or hardware

rp2 port, pico 2 board

MicroPython version

MicroPython v1.24.0 on 2024-10-25; Raspberry Pi Pico2 with RP2350

Reproduction

This is the script I used:

# MicroPython USB MIDI example
#
# This example demonstrates creating a custom MIDI device.
#
# To run this example:
#
# 1. Make sure `usb-device-midi` is installed via: mpremote mip install usb-device-midi
#
# 2. Run the example via: mpremote run midi_example.py
#
# 3. mpremote will exit with an error after the previous step, because when the
#    example runs the existing USB device disconnects and then re-enumerates with
#    the MIDI interface present. At this point, the example is running.
#
# 4. To see output from the example, re-connect: mpremote connect PORTNAME

import usb.device
from usb.device.midi import MIDIInterface
import time


class MIDIExample(MIDIInterface):
    # Very simple example event handler functions, showing how to receive note
    # and control change messages sent from the host to the device.
    #
    # If you need to send MIDI data to the host, then it's fine to instantiate
    # MIDIInterface class directly.

    def on_open(self):
        super().on_open()
        print("Device opened by host")

    def on_note_on(self, channel, pitch, vel):
        print(f"RX Note On channel {channel} pitch {pitch} velocity {vel}")

    def on_note_off(self, channel, pitch, vel):
        print(f"RX Note Off channel {channel} pitch {pitch} velocity {vel}")

    def on_control_change(self, channel, controller, value):
        print(f"RX Control channel {channel} controller {controller} value {value}")


m = MIDIExample()
# Remove builtin_driver=True if you don't want the MicroPython serial REPL available.
usb.device.get().init(m, builtin_driver=True)

print("Waiting for USB host to configure the interface...")

while not m.is_open():
    time.sleep_ms(100)

print("Starting MIDI loop...")

# TX constants
CHANNEL = 0
PITCH = 60
CONTROLLER = 64

control_val = 0

while m.is_open():
    time.sleep(1)
    print(f"TX Note On channel {CHANNEL} pitch {PITCH}")
    m.note_on(CHANNEL, PITCH)  # Velocity is an optional third argument
    time.sleep(0.5)
    print(f"TX Note Off channel {CHANNEL} pitch {PITCH}")
    m.note_off(CHANNEL, PITCH)
    time.sleep(1)
    print(f"TX Control channel {CHANNEL} controller {CONTROLLER} value {control_val}")
    m.control_change(CHANNEL, CONTROLLER, control_val)
    control_val += 1
    if control_val == 0x7F:
        control_val = 0
    time.sleep(1)

print("USB host has reset device, example done.")

Expected behaviour

This example code works on a pico 1, here is the output:

MicroPython v1.24.0 on 2024-10-25; Raspberry Pi Pico with RP2040
Type "help()" for more information.
>>> import midi_example
Waiting for USB host to configure the interface...
device disconnected

then mpremote disconnects. I can reconnect and it displays the log output from the example.

kernel log display:

Observed behaviour

This is the output on the rp2 REPL:

>>> import midi_example
Waiting for USB host to configure the interface...

and it hangs, control characters have no effect.

Meanwhile here is the kernel log:

Nothing else is printed.

Additional Information

This is probably a core issue with customizable USB on this new port.

Thank you very much for your work on micropython and also for providing this template.
