uSEQ-CV firmware

Turns a 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/specs/useq-cv-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)

# 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/specs/useq-cv-protocol.md.
