Invalid pin D6-D8

[jms]

machine.Pin(any of 6 to 8) gives me an "invalid Pin" exception on a few week old build of version 1.8 . That's a lot of missing GPIO !

Is this a known problem or likely to be an issue with the build I picked up ?

Now I look into it modpybpin.c has this

Code: Select all

const pyb_pin_obj_t pyb_pin_obj[16 + 1] = {
    {{&pyb_pin_type}, 0, FUNC_GPIO0, PERIPHS_IO_MUX_GPIO0_U},
    {{&pyb_pin_type}, 1, FUNC_GPIO1, PERIPHS_IO_MUX_U0TXD_U},
    {{&pyb_pin_type}, 2, FUNC_GPIO2, PERIPHS_IO_MUX_GPIO2_U},
    {{&pyb_pin_type}, 3, FUNC_GPIO3, PERIPHS_IO_MUX_U0RXD_U},
    {{&pyb_pin_type}, 4, FUNC_GPIO4, PERIPHS_IO_MUX_GPIO4_U},
    {{&pyb_pin_type}, 5, FUNC_GPIO5, PERIPHS_IO_MUX_GPIO5_U},
    {{NULL}, 0, 0, 0},
    {{NULL}, 0, 0, 0},
    {{NULL}, 0, 0, 0},
    {{&pyb_pin_type}, 9, FUNC_GPIO9, PERIPHS_IO_MUX_SD_DATA2_U},
    {{&pyb_pin_type}, 10, FUNC_GPIO10, PERIPHS_IO_MUX_SD_DATA3_U},
    {{NULL}, 0, 0, 0},
    {{&pyb_pin_type}, 12, FUNC_GPIO12, PERIPHS_IO_MUX_MTDI_U},
    {{&pyb_pin_type}, 13, FUNC_GPIO13, PERIPHS_IO_MUX_MTCK_U},
    {{&pyb_pin_type}, 14, FUNC_GPIO14, PERIPHS_IO_MUX_MTMS_U},
    {{&pyb_pin_type}, 15, FUNC_GPIO15, PERIPHS_IO_MUX_MTDO_U},
    // GPIO16 is special, belongs to different register set, and
    // otherwise handled specially.
    {{&pyb_pin_type}, 16, -1, -1},
};

I'm obviously going to tweak it for my board (mini D1) but perhaps there's a better way of doing this.

These pins are used for the internal flash, they are not available on your board anyway. See here, the pin numbers in micropython are the ESP-8266 ones (e.g. GPIO5) which are not the ones printed on your board.

For reasons unknown the tweaks I made to the code to map the Dn labels to GPIO didn't work but at least it was a learning experience and I may as well use a more stock build.

Thank you for making it clear (and I should have twigged in the first place).
