Added ON-OFF button support #318
base: main
Are you sure you want to change the base?

Tested on custom esp32-c3 board, works as expected |
Can I get some eyes on this? |
Brought this code up to date with the sfusion merging, now theoretically all IMUs supported by sfusion should also be supported by this PR. |
I'll check this later after work, looks good though. |
@Vyolex Currently there is a weird drifting issue that happens with this branch, and I want to rewrite some of the logic a bit, to make it non-blocking, so I wouldn't bother yet. |

This PR adds in support for non-blocking momentary push button based ON-OFF functionality using the ESP's deep sleep feature.
The code was tested on an ESP8266 (specifically a D1 mini) and an ESP32-C3 (supermini esp32c3). For the latter, attaching a push button between GND and any of the RTC GPIOs (GPIO0-5), the code should work, but for the ESP8266, the following hardware needs to be added:
GPIO13 can be set to any of the safe pins (4, 5, 12, 13, 14), however the other ones are already used by the default SlimeVR setup.
I have tried to make the setup work with a MOSFET instead of a transistor, but didn't manage to yet.The on-off behaviour can be activated by defining ON_OFF_BUTTON_PIN inside defines.h. For example:
for a D1 mini.
Functionality
When the tracker is on, holding down the button for 1 second puts it to deep sleep (this is debounced). When it's in deep sleep, pressing the button once will wake it up, resetting it.
The tracker attempts to deinitialize the imus attached to it. Using an ESP32, it's also possible to define a pin that acts as an enable pin for the IMU (or other hardware), for possibly a voltage regulator or mosfet, that completely depowers the IMU. This functionality is not available on ESP8266, due to it lacking deep sleep pin hold functionality. To use this feature, one needs to define
BUTTON_IMU_ENABLE_PIN
and optionallyBUTTON_IMU_ENABLE_ACTIVE_LEVEL
(defaults to HIGH if not defined).Additionally the tracker can be made to automatically shut off after a certain period of inactivity or if the battery voltage drops below a certain threshold. Both of these are meant to stop the tracker from depleting the battery to dangerous levels if accidentally left on. To use these features, define
BUTTON_AUTO_SLEEP_TIME_SECONDS
andBUTTON_BATTERY_VOLTAGE_THRESHOLD
respectively.While it varies, this setup should drop the power consumption to somewhere around 100-200uA, or even lower, if the IMU is completely depowered.
