Instead of pyb.switch() as a function, it's more consistent (with
respect to all the other modules and peripherals) to have
pyb.Switch() create a switch object. This then generalises to having
multiple switches. Call the object to get its state. Use sw.callback
to set the callback function for when the switch is pressed.
Simple but functional timer control. More sophistication will
eventually be added, or for now just use direct register access :)
Also added pyb.freq() function to get MCU clock frequencies.
It's really a UART because there is no external clock line (and hence no
synchronous ability, at least in the implementation of this module).
USART should be reserved for a module that has "S"ynchronous capabilities.
Also, UART is shorter and easier to type :)
The three classes I2C, SPI and USART now have a fairly uniform (Python)
API. All are constructed, initialised and deinitialised in the same
way. They can have most of their parameters set, using keyword arguments.
All have send and recv (although slightly different with I2C requiring an
address in master mode). recv can do inplace receiving (ie store the
data in a previously-created bytearray).
It's just polling mode at the moment, but interrupt and DMA would be
nice to add.
3 emitter functions are needed only for emitcpy, and so we can #if them
out when compiling with emitcpy support.
Also remove unused SETUP_LOOP bytecode.
Closed over variables are now passed on the stack, instead of creating a
tuple and passing that. This way memory for the closed over variables
can be allocated within the closure object itself. See issue #510 for
background.
There were typos, various rounding errors trying to do concurrent counting
in bytes vs blocks, complex conditional paths, superfluous variables, etc.,
etc., all leading to obscure segfaults.
