# uSEQ-CV firmware
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
Turns a [uSEQ](https://www.emutelabinstruments.co.uk/useq/) module (+ its CV
|
|||
|
|
expander) into a USB→CV/gate converter driven by the Manifold browser app's **CV
|
|||
|
|
output backend** (or, in future, the MEMLNaut RP2350 firmware directly). This is
|
|||
|
|
the restored + modernised descendant of the April-2026 "uSEQ-Celium" output mode
|
|||
|
|
(provenance in `docs/useq-celium/protocol.md`).
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
Both boards are RP2040 (Raspberry Pi Pico / uSEQ hardware) flashed with the
|
|||
|
|
Arduino-Pico (Earle Philhower) core. The wire protocol (v2) is defined once in
|
|||
|
|
`shared/protocol.h` and mirrored by `manifold/src/backends/useq-protocol.ts`.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
```
|
|||
|
|
shared/protocol.h uSEQ-CV v2 wire protocol (single source of truth)
|
|||
|
|
main/ uSEQ main module: USB serial → CV1..3 + GATE1..3, I2C → expander
|
|||
|
|
expander/ uSEQ expander: I2C slave → CV4..11 (8× PWM)
|
|||
|
|
```
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
## Topology
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
| Channel | Board | Pin(s) | Type |
|
|||
|
|
|------------|-----------|---------------|---------------|
|
|||
|
|
| CV1–CV3 | main | 21, 20, 19 | PWM (11-bit) |
|
|||
|
|
| GATE1–GATE3| main | 18, 17, 16 | digital |
|
|||
|
|
| CV4–CV11 | expander | 13,14,10,11,8,7,5,3 | PWM (11-bit) |
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
The main board forwards CV4–CV11 to the expander over I2C (addr `0x10`, 400 kHz)
|
|||
|
|
and rescans every 2 s until the expander is found (hot-attach friendly).
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
## Build / flash (PlatformIO)
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
```bash
|
|||
|
|
# main board
|
|||
|
|
cd firmware/useq-celium/main && pio run -e main -t upload
|
|||
|
|
# expander board
|
|||
|
|
cd firmware/useq-celium/expander && pio run -e expander -t upload
|
|||
|
|
```
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
(Or open each `.cpp` in the Arduino IDE with the RP2040 "Earle Philhower" core and
|
|||
|
|
add `firmware/useq-celium/shared` to the include path.)
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
## Protocol smoke
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
Hold the browser's **Identify** button (CV backend config) → both boards run an
|
|||
|
|
LED sweep, confirming the USB + I2C links end-to-end. Full frame layout:
|
|||
|
|
`docs/useq-celium/protocol.md`.
