# SC-F001 Firmware — CLAUDE.md
## Overview
The SC-F001 is a **solar-powered automated crop harvesting robot** built on the ESP32. It drives a carriage horizontally via a drive motor and lifts/lowers a cutting head via a jack motor, with an auxiliary "fluffer" motor always running during operation. The firmware handles motor sequencing, safety interlocks, remote control, data logging, and a WiFi web interface.
**Primary operational cycle:** Idle → Move Start Delay → Jack Up → Drive → Jack Down → Idle
See `README.md` for full project documentation (hardware, architecture, protocols, algorithms).

## Hardware Platform
## Workflow
**MCU:** ESP32 (Xtensa dual-core), IDF framework
- **Minimize shell commands.** Every Bash call requires user approval. Prefer Read/Edit/Write/Glob/Grep tools. Only use Bash when a shell command is genuinely needed (e.g., `idf.py build`, git operations).
- **Webpage build step:** After editing `webpage.html`, run `webpage_compile.py` to regenerate `webpage_gzip.h` before building.
- **Don't touch git.**

**GPIO Map:**
| GPIO | Function |
|------|----------|
| 13 | Button interrupt (active low, pull-up) — also EXT0 wakeup |
| 14 | Jack position sensor / encoder |
| 16 | Drive encoder |
| 19 | Aux sensor 2 (reserved) |
| 21/22 | I2C SDA/SCL (400kHz) → TCA9555 I/O expander |
| 25 | 433MHz RF receiver (RMT input) |
| 26 | Solar charger bulk enable (RTC GPIO, holds across deep sleep) |
| 27 | Safety sensor (active low) |
| 32/33 | External 32.768 kHz RTC crystal (standard watch crystal, 2¹⁵ Hz) |
| 36 (VP) | ADC: drive current sense |
| 39 (VN) | ADC: battery voltage |
| 34 | ADC: jack current sense |
| 35 | ADC: aux current sense |
## sdkconfig Management
**TCA9555 (I2C at 0x20):**
- Port 0 (input): 2 physical buttons + 2 additional inputs
- Port 1 (output): 3× H-bridge relay pairs (DRIVE, JACK, AUX) + LEDs
**Two files, different roles:**
- `sdkconfig.defaults` — checked into git. Contains only intentional project overrides with comments explaining why. Applied by `idf.py reconfigure` on top of IDF defaults.
- `sdkconfig` — generated/modified by `idf.py menuconfig` or `reconfigure`. Contains every resolved setting. Also checked in for reproducibility, but treat `sdkconfig.defaults` as the source of truth for project-specific choices.
**Motor / Bridge Specs:**
- `BRIDGE_DRIVE` — 100A max, ACS37220 sense chip (13.2 mV/A, inverted polarity)
- `BRIDGE_JACK` — 30A max, ACS37042 sense chip (44 mV/A)
- `BRIDGE_AUX` — 30A max, ACS37042 sense chip (44 mV/A)
**Rules:**
- When changing a setting, add it to `sdkconfig.defaults` with a comment, then also apply it to `sdkconfig` so the next build picks it up without requiring `idf.py reconfigure`.
- Never hand-edit `sdkconfig` without also updating `sdkconfig.defaults` for the same setting — otherwise the change will be lost on the next `reconfigure`.
- Keep `sdkconfig.defaults` small and well-commented. Don't dump the full config into it.
**Current project-specific overrides (sdkconfig.defaults):**
| Setting | Value | Why |
|---------|-------|-----|
| `CONFIG_RTC_CLK_SRC_EXT_CRYS` | y | Use external 32kHz crystal for accurate RTC |
| `CONFIG_ESP32_RTC_EXT_CRYST_ADDIT_CURRENT_V2` | y | Drive high-ESR crystal during startup |
| `CONFIG_ESP_SYSTEM_RTC_EXT_XTAL_BOOTSTRAP_CYCLES` | 500 | Extra bootstrap for slow-starting crystal |
| `CONFIG_RTC_XTAL_CAL_RETRY` | 3 | More calibration attempts before RC fallback |
| `CONFIG_ESP_TASK_WDT_PANIC` | y | WDT timeout → panic → reboot (feeds OTA rollback counter) |
**Already correct at IDF defaults (verified, no override needed):**
| Setting | Value | Status |
|---------|-------|--------|
| `CONFIG_FREERTOS_CHECK_STACKOVERFLOW_CANARY` | y | Stack overflow detection via canary (method 2) |
| `CONFIG_ESP_SYSTEM_PANIC_PRINT_REBOOT` | y | Print backtrace then reboot on panic |
| `CONFIG_BROWNOUT_DET_LVL_SEL_0` | y | ~2.43V brownout on ESP32 3.3V rail (appropriate — battery low-V is handled by `LOW_PROTECTION_V` in FSM) |
| `CONFIG_PARTITION_TABLE_CUSTOM` | y | Custom partitions.csv with ota_0 + ota_1 |

## Control FSM States
```
STATE_IDLE
STATE_MOVE_START_DELAY (1s)
STATE_JACK_UP_START (detect current spike → jack engaged)
STATE_JACK_UP (continue until timer/e-fuse)
STATE_DRIVE_START_DELAY (1s)
STATE_DRIVE (encoder-based distance control)
STATE_DRIVE_END_DELAY (1s)
STATE_JACK_DOWN (reverse until e-fuse/sensor)
→ back to STATE_IDLE
STATE_UNDO_JACK_START (emergency: reverse jack immediately)
STATE_UNDO_JACK (run until e-fuse/sensor)
→ back to STATE_IDLE
CAL_JACK_DELAY / CAL_JACK_MOVE (jack calibration sequence)
CAL_DRIVE_DELAY / CAL_DRIVE_MOVE (drive calibration sequence)
```
**Guards before START:**
- Remaining distance > 0 (leash protection)
- Battery V ≥ `LOW_PROTECTION_V` (default 10V)
- Safety sensor active (debounced stable)
- All e-fuses not tripped
**FSM Loop (20ms tick in `control_task()`):**
1. `process_bridge_current()` — ADC → EMA → auto-zero → e-fuse
2. `process_battery_voltage()` — ADC → EMA
3. `sensors_check()` — drain ISR queue, update counters/debounce
4. State machine transitions (timer + sensor + efuse checks)
5. `driveRelays()` — write relay output from current state
6. `send_fsm_log()` — 39-byte timestamped entry to flash
---
## E-Fuse Algorithm (`power_mgmt.c`)
Per bridge, each 20ms tick:
1. Raw ADC → EMA filter (α = `ADC_ALPHA_ISENS`)
2. Auto-zero: learn zero offset when motor is off + grace period expired
3. Grace period: 250ms after relay closes (ignores startup inrush)
4. **Instant trip:** I ≥ `EFUSE_KINST` × I_nom (default 2×)
5. **Thermal trip:** heat accumulates as I²·Δt; dissipates at τ_cool rate
6. **Auto-reset:** after `EFUSE_TCOOL` seconds of cooling (default 5s)
---
## Safety Sensor Debouncing (Asymmetric)
```
LOW (safe): 1000ms make time → slow to declare safe (SAFETY_MAKE_US)
HIGH (break): 300ms break time → fast to kill operation (SAFETY_BREAK_US)
```
Safety break → immediate `STATE_UNDO_JACK_START`.

## Communication Interfaces
### WiFi (softAP)
- SSID/password/channel configurable via params (`WIFI_SSID`, `WIFI_PASS`, `WIFI_CHANNEL`)
- mDNS hostname: `sc.local`
- Captive portal DNS: all queries → 192.168.4.1
- HTTP port 80
### HTTP API (port 80)
| Endpoint | Method | Description |
|----------|--------|-------------|
| `/` | GET | Embedded gzip HTML webpage |
| `/get` | GET | JSON system status |
| `/set` | POST | JSON commands + parameter updates |
| `/log` | GET | Binary log download (4B JSON len + JSON + 8B offsets + log data) |
### UART (115200 8N1)
- `GET` → same as HTTP GET /get
- `POST: {json}` → same as HTTP POST /set
- `HELP` → command reference
- Shares `comms_handle_get()` / `comms_handle_post()` with HTTP
### 433MHz RF (GPIO25, RMT)
- 24-bit OOK codes (P_HIGH≈1040µs, P_LOW≈340µs, margin 70µs)
- 8 stored keycodes → FSM_OVERRIDE_* commands
- Learn mode: capture next RX → temp buffer → user commits via web
### Bluetooth HID Host
- Scans for BLE HID devices (service UUID 0x1812)
- Tries saved BDA first, then scans for best RSSI
- Button mapping:
- VOL_UP → Jack Up (override pulse)
- VOL_DOWN → Jack Down
- PREV → Drive Reverse
- NEXT → Drive Forward

## RTC & 32.768 kHz Crystal
**Crystal:** Standard 32.768 kHz (32768 Hz = 2¹⁵ Hz) tuning-fork watch crystal on GPIO32/GPIO33. This frequency is universal for RTCs because it divides to exactly 1 Hz with a 15-bit binary counter.
**sdkconfig.defaults settings:**
- `CONFIG_RTC_CLK_SRC_EXT_CRYS=y` — selects the external crystal as the RTC slow clock source instead of the internal ~150 kHz RC oscillator
- `CONFIG_ESP32_RTC_EXT_CRYST_ADDIT_CURRENT_V2=y` — enables extra drive current during the crystal startup window; required for high-ESR tuning-fork crystals (e.g. CM315D32768DZFT ~70 kΩ ESR)
**Known startup failure mode:** On power-on, the ESP32 bootloader attempts to calibrate the crystal. If it fails to detect oscillation within its calibration window, it logs `W: 32 kHz XTAL not found, switching to internal 150 kHz oscillator` and falls back to the RC oscillator. The RC oscillator has ±5% accuracy, producing up to ~180 s/hr of RTC drift — this completely breaks harvest scheduling.
**Firmware mitigation (`rtc_xtal_init()` in `rtc.c`):** If `rtc_clk_slow_src_get()` does not return `SOC_RTC_SLOW_CLK_SRC_XTAL32K` at startup, the code applies a manual bootstrap: `rtc_clk_32k_bootstrap(20000)` (~600 ms of extra drive current at 32 kHz cycles), waits 500 ms for oscillation to stabilise, then calls `rtc_clk_slow_src_set(SOC_RTC_SLOW_CLK_SRC_XTAL32K)` to switch explicitly. Success or failure is logged via `ESP_LOGI/LOGE`.
**Diagnosing crystal issues:** Run `RTCDEBUG` over UART and check `slow_clk_src`. It reports either `XTAL32K (OK)` or `NOT XTAL32K — check crystal!`. The `logtool/rtc_test.py` script automates this and runs multi-cycle drift tests.
**Time persistence across deep sleep:** `rtc_backup_s` and `rtc_sleep_entry_s` are `RTC_DATA_ATTR` (survive deep sleep). On wakeup, `rtc_restore_time()` adds exactly `DEEP_SLEEP_US / 1e6` seconds to `rtc_sleep_entry_s` to reconstruct the correct time without an NTP sync.
---
## Power Management
- **Battery voltage:** GPIO39, divider → `V = raw × 0.00767 + 0.4`
- **Solar charger:** GPIO26 (RTC hold) — FLOAT/BULK FSM, bulk for 20s when V < 5V for 5s
- **Inactivity shutdown:** 180s deep sleep
- **Deep sleep wakeup:** RTC timer (120s), RTC alarm (next harvest), EXT0 GPIO13 (button)
- **RTC_DATA_ATTR:** FSM state, errors, alarm times, charge state survive deep sleep

## Error Codes (`sc_err.h`)
```c
SC_ERR_EFUSE_TRIP_1 = 0x201 // Drive overcurrent/overheat
SC_ERR_EFUSE_TRIP_2 = 0x202 // Jack
SC_ERR_EFUSE_TRIP_3 = 0x203 // Aux
SC_ERR_SAFETY_TRIP = 0x210 // Safety sensor break
SC_ERR_LEASH_HIT = 0x211 // Distance limit reached
SC_ERR_RTC_NOT_SET = 0x220 // Clock not synchronized
SC_ERR_LOW_BATTERY = 0x230 // Voltage below threshold
