## Implementation Notes (2026-01-25)
### Hybrid Implementation Approach
### Pure Event-Driven Implementation
The implementation was done as a **hybrid approach** to maintain full backward compatibility:
The implementation uses a **pure event-driven approach** without legacy fallback code:
1. **Event Queue System**: Added alongside the existing periodic timer system
2. **Zero-Crossing ISR**: Now calculates and schedules events while also setting legacy `zeroCross[i]` flags
3. **Timer ISR**: Processes events from queue first, then runs legacy code as fallback
4. **Toggle Mode**: Continues to work as before, updating `dimPulseBegin[]` which gets picked up by next zero-crossing
1. **Event Queue System**: All triac firing is handled through the event queue
2. **Zero-Crossing ISR**: Calculates exact firing times and schedules EVENT_FIRE_TRIAC events
3. **Timer ISR**: Processes events from queue at precise timestamps - no legacy polling code
4. **Toggle Mode**: Not implemented in this version (planned for 1.1.0 - see FUTURE_ENHANCEMENTS.md)
### Benefits of Hybrid Approach
### Benefits of Pure Event-Driven Approach
- **Zero Breaking Changes**: All existing code continues to work
- **Gradual Optimization**: Event queue handles most work, legacy code provides safety net
- **Easy Testing**: Can validate event queue behavior against legacy implementation
- **Future Migration**: Legacy code can be removed once event queue is proven stable
- **Clean Architecture**: Single path for triac control, easier to understand and maintain
- **Precise Timing**: Events fire at exact calculated times, not waiting for next timer tick
- **No Redundancy**: Event queue is the sole mechanism, no duplicate logic
- **Foundation for Optimization**: Ready for one-shot timer mode in future releases
### Performance Improvement Analysis
### Performance Characteristics
While the hybrid approach still runs the periodic timer, the event queue system provides:
The pure event-driven implementation provides:
1. **Precise Timing**: Events fire at exact calculated times, not waiting for next timer tick
2. **Reduced Logic**: Most dimmer firing handled by event queue, reducing checks in timer ISR
3. **Scalability**: Adding dimmers doesn't increase timer ISR complexity
4. **Foundation**: Infrastructure ready for full migration to one-shot timers in future
1. **Precise Timing**: Events fire at exact calculated times with microsecond accuracy
2. **Minimal ISR Logic**: Timer ISR only processes scheduled events, no polling or checking
3. **Scalability**: Adding dimmers increases event count but not ISR complexity
4. **Foundation**: Clean architecture ready for one-shot timer mode optimization
### Implementation Status (2026-01-25 Update)
**Completed:**
1. ✅ Event queue infrastructure implemented
2. ✅ Zero-crossing ISR calculates and schedules events
3. ✅ Timer ISR processes events at precise timestamps
4. ✅ Legacy code removed - pure event-driven architecture
**Not Yet Implemented (Future Releases):**
1. ❌ Toggle mode (planned for release 1.1.0 - see FUTURE_ENHANCEMENTS.md)
2. ❌ One-shot timer mode (planned for release 2.0.0)
3. ❌ Priority queue optimization (planned for release 2.0.0)
### Next Steps for Full Optimization
To achieve the full 98% reduction in ISR invocations described in this document:
1. Remove legacy code from timer ISR
2. Switch timer to one-shot mode
3. Dynamically schedule next timer alarm based on next event in queue
4. Handle toggle mode via separate FreeRTOS task updating `dimPulseBegin[]`
1. ~~Remove legacy code from timer ISR~~ ✅ DONE
2. Switch timer to one-shot mode (Release 2.0.0)
3. Dynamically schedule next timer alarm based on next event in queue (Release 2.0.0)
4. Implement toggle mode via separate FreeRTOS task (Release 1.1.0)
Current implementation provides the event queue infrastructure needed for these future optimizations.

# Future Enhancements
This document tracks features that need to be implemented before future releases.
## Release 1.1.0 Requirements
### Toggle Mode Implementation
**Status**: Not Yet Implemented
**Priority**: Must-have for 1.1.0
**Reason**: Backward compatibility with existing applications
#### Overview
Toggle mode allows a dimmer to automatically ramp up and down between a minimum and maximum power level, creating a fading effect. This feature exists in the legacy implementation but has been temporarily removed from the event-driven architecture.
#### Current State
- API function `toggleSettings()` exists but only logs a warning
- `TOGGLE_MODE` enum value exists in header
- Toggle-related global variables (`togMin`, `togMax`, `togDir`) are declared but unused
#### Implementation Approach
**Option 1: FreeRTOS Task (Recommended)**
Create a separate FreeRTOS task that handles toggle mode updates:
```c
static void toggle_task(void *arg)
{
while (1)
{
for (int i = 0; i < current_dim; i++)
{
if (dimMode[i] == TOGGLE_MODE)
{
// Update dimPulseBegin based on toggle direction
if (dimPulseBegin[i] >= togMax[i])
togDir[i] = false;
if (dimPulseBegin[i] <= togMin[i])
togDir[i] = true;
if (togDir[i])
dimPulseBegin[i]++;
else
dimPulseBegin[i]--;
}
}
vTaskDelay(pdMS_TO_TICKS(50)); // Adjust for desired toggle speed
}
}
```
**Benefits:**
- Clean separation of concerns
- Doesn't burden ISR with toggle logic
- Easy to adjust toggle speed
- Can be paused/resumed
**Implementation Steps:**
1. Create toggle task in `begin()` function (only once, shared by all dimmers)
2. Task scans all dimmers for `TOGGLE_MODE`
3. Updates `dimPulseBegin[]` values periodically
4. Zero-crossing ISR reads updated values and schedules events accordingly
**Option 2: Timer-based Updates**
Use a separate software timer to update toggle values:
```c
static void toggle_timer_callback(void *arg)
{
for (int i = 0; i < current_dim; i++)
{
if (dimMode[i] == TOGGLE_MODE)
{
// Same logic as Option 1
}
}
}
```
**Benefits:**
- Lighter weight than FreeRTOS task
- Precise timing control
**Drawbacks:**
- More complex timer management
- Another ISR to manage
#### Testing Requirements
Before 1.1.0 release, toggle mode must be tested for:
- [ ] Single dimmer in toggle mode
- [ ] Multiple dimmers in toggle mode with different ranges
- [ ] Switching between NORMAL_MODE and TOGGLE_MODE
- [ ] Toggle speed consistency
- [ ] No interference with normal mode dimmers
- [ ] Memory usage and CPU overhead acceptable
#### API Changes
No API changes needed - `toggleSettings()` signature remains the same:
```c
void toggleSettings(dimmertyp *ptr, int minValue, int maxValue);
```
#### Documentation Updates Needed
- Update README.md with toggle mode examples
- Update TRIAC_CYCLE.md with toggle mode timing diagrams
- Update IMPLEMENTATION_SUMMARY.md to remove "Not Yet Implemented" note
- Add toggle mode examples to examples directory
---
## Release 2.0.0 - Full Optimization
These enhancements can wait for a major release but would provide significant performance improvements.
### One-Shot Timer Mode
**Status**: Design Complete, Not Implemented
**Priority**: Nice-to-have
**Benefit**: 94-98% reduction in ISR invocations
Currently, the timer still runs in periodic mode at 100μs intervals. The event queue is processed on every tick even when there are no events to process.
#### Implementation Approach
1. Switch timer to one-shot mode: `auto_reload_on_alarm = false`
2. After processing an event, schedule the next alarm for the next event's timestamp
3. If no events are pending, timer remains idle until next zero-crossing
#### Challenges
- More complex timer management
- Need to handle case when events are scheduled while timer is idle
- Require mutex or critical section for event queue access
### Priority Queue for Event Management
**Status**: Not Started
**Priority**: Optimization
**Benefit**: O(log n) instead of O(n) event processing
Current implementation uses linear search to find and process events. For small event counts (< 10), this is acceptable. For high dimmer counts or rapid updates, a priority queue would be more efficient.
#### Implementation Options
1. Min-heap implementation
2. Binary search tree
3. Third-party priority queue library
### Multi-Phase AC Support
**Status**: Design Concept Only
**Priority**: Feature Request Dependent
Extend system to support 3-phase AC systems:
- Track phase relationships
- Independent zero-crossing detection per phase
- Phase-aware power distribution
### Power Factor Correction
**Status**: Research Phase
**Priority**: Advanced Feature
Implement leading/trailing edge control for improved power factor.
### Energy Monitoring
**Status**: Concept
**Priority**: Feature Request Dependent
Add real-time power consumption tracking:
- Integrate with current sensing
- Calculate RMS power
- Expose power data via API

## Known Limitations
### 1. Hybrid Approach
### 1. Event Queue Search
Currently runs both event queue and legacy code. This provides safety but doesn't achieve full optimization potential.
Using linear search O(n) for event processing. Acceptable for small queue sizes (typically < 10 active events) but could be optimized with priority queue for larger systems.
### 2. Event Queue Search
Using linear search O(n) for finding next event. Acceptable for small queue but could be optimized with priority queue for larger systems.
### 3. Timer Still Periodic
### 2. Timer Still Periodic
Timer still runs at 100μs intervals. Full optimization would require one-shot timer mode.
### 4. Toggle Mode in ISR
### 3. Toggle Mode Not Implemented
Toggle mode still updates `dimPulseBegin[]` in timer ISR. Better approach would be separate FreeRTOS task.
Toggle mode API exists but is not functional in this release. Will be implemented before release 1.1.0. See FUTURE_ENHANCEMENTS.md for implementation plan.
