% PsychPowerMate - A driver for the Griffin Technology PowerMate USB knob.
%
% Note:
%
% This driver is currently only for the PowerMate USB edition, not for the
% bluetooth product. It best supports modern Linux systems, e.g.,
% Ubuntu 14.04.2 LTS or later, Debian-8 or later, or other similar modern
% systems with version 2.9.0 or later of the "evdev" X11 input driver.
%
% Support on Apple OSX and Microsoft Windows is much more limited. Expect
% worse reliability, higher cpu load, higher latencies, less accurate
% timing. While on Linux, the current driver can internally record up to
% 104 full knob rotations by default, or an unlimited number with suitable
% options set, without losing information, the Windows variant can at most
% record 5 rotations, and the OSX driver will probably not even manage to
% record one full rotation. To avoid loss of position data, you will need
% to call PsychPowerMate('Get') frequently on OSX and Windows, even if you
% do not need the information at that moment.
%
% On Windows, setting LED brightness does not work.
%
% Linux setup:
% ============
%
% You must install a specific xorg input configuration file for the PowerMate
% to be recognized. In a terminal window do:
%
% 1. cd into the Psychtoolbox working directory (output of PsychtoolboxRoot)
% 2. sudo cp PsychHardware/50-evdev-powermate.conf /usr/share/X11/xorg.conf.d/
% 3. Logout and login again.
%
% Interesting technical background info:
% ======================================
%
% Technical background info, copied from the Linux powermate.c device driver,
% written by William R Sowerbutts, the author of the Linux driver:
%
% "Testing with the knob I have has shown that it measures approximately 94 "clicks"
% for one full rotation. Testing with my High Speed Rotation Actuator (ok, it was
% a variable speed cordless electric drill) has shown that the device can measure
% speeds of up to 7 clicks either clockwise or anticlockwise between pollings from
% the host. If it counts more than 7 clicks before it is polled, it will wrap back
% to zero and start counting again. This was at quite high speed, however, almost
% certainly faster than the human hand could turn it. Griffin say that it loses a
% pulse or two on a direction change; the granularity is so fine that I never
% noticed this in practice."
%
% - The rotary resolution is therefore about 3.8298 degrees per "click" or unit.
%
% - The PowerMate can lose a click or two on a direction change, therefore can
%   accumulate rotational error on each turn direction change.
%
% - The PowerMate wants to be sampled at 10 msec intervals according to its
%   USB HID descriptor. Low-speed USB interrupt endpoint sampling interval
%   duration must be a power of two, so it will actually get sampled at
%   8 msec intervals, for a maximum update rate of 125 Hz.
%
%
% Commands:
%
% deviceIds = PsychPowerMate('List');
% -- Return a list of all 'deviceIds' of all connected PowerMates. Items from
% this list can be passed as 'deviceId' parameter to the 'Open' function to
% select a specific PowerMate. Please note that the PowerMates themselves do
% not provide any identifying information, like a serial number, so the computer
% can't distinguish them. The 'deviceIds' you get back from this function are
% therefore only guaranteed to be valid during a given session. Unplugging and
% replugging PowerMates may change the ids assigned to them, based on operating
% system specific criteria. On MS-Windows the deviceIds don't change even
% if you plug the PowerMate into a different USB port, so this function may
% be useless for device selection and you may have to figure out something
% specific to your computer hardware setup. On Linux you can assign fixed
% ids to fixed USB ports. See the Technical note at the end of this help
% text for how to do it. On OSX the deviceIds seem to be associated with
% fixed USB ports, with numbers at least persistent during a session.
%
%
% handle = PsychPowerMate('Open' [, deviceId][, historySize=10000])
% -- Open a connected Griffin PowerMate, return a handle to it.
%
% The optional 'deviceId' selects which of multiple connected PowerMates should
% be used. PsychPowerMate('List') returns a list of all possible 'deviceId's.
% If 'deviceId' is omitted then the first found PowerMate is opened.
%
% Linux only:
%
% The optional 'historySize' parameter allows to select how many events the
% knob press and motion history functions 'StartHistory' and 'GetHistory' can
% collect in the background. It defaults to 10000 events if omitted, ie. up to
% 5000 knob presses + releases, or alternatively about 104 full knob rotations
% can be recorded in the background before you either need to get the recorded
% data via the 'GetHistory' subfunction to empty the internal storage, or the
% internal storage will be full and stop collecting new data.
%
% If you need to record more than 10000 such events in total, just specify a
% larger 'historySize': Each button press or release creates 2 events (1 press +
% 1 release). Each turn of the knob by 1 unit (about 3.8 degrees) creates one
% event.
%
%
% PsychPowerMate('Close', handle);
% -- Close previously opened PowerMate specified by 'handle'.
%
%
% PsychPowerMate('SetBrightness', handle, level);
% -- Change brightness of the LED of the PowerMate specified by 'handle'
% to 'level'. Level can be between 0 and 255. 'handle' is currently ignored
% on Linux.
%
%
% [button, dialPos] = PsychPowerMate('Get', handle);
% -- Poll the PowerMate specified by 'handle', return the status
% of its 'button' 1 = Pressed, 0 = Released. Also return the current
% 'dialPos' dial position of its dial - its turning knob. Please note
% that the knob does not have a defined zero position. You can turn it
% endlessly in one direction. Turning in one direction will simply
% increment the 'dialPos' position, turning into the other direction
% will decrement it. See above comments on the accuracy and resolution
% of position reporting.
%
%
% secs = PsychPowerMate('WaitButton', handle [, waitforbuttonpress=1][, untilTime=inf]);
% -- Wait for button press or release on the PowerMate specified by 'handle',
% return the GetSecs() time of press in 'secs'.
%
% If the optional 'waitforbuttonpress' flag is set to 0 then the function
% waits for a button release, otherwise it waits for a button press.
%
% If the optional 'untilTime' parameter is given, the function times out
% at time 'untilTime', otherwise it waits forever if nobody presses or releases
% the button.
%
% secs = PsychPowerMate('WaitRotate', handle [, untilTime=inf]);
% -- Wait for knob rotation on the PowerMate specified by 'handle',
% return the GetSecs() time of rotation in 'secs'.
%
% If the optional 'untilTime' parameter is given, the function times out
% at time 'untilTime', otherwise it waits forever if nobody moves the knob.
%
%
% The following functions are only supported on Linux:
% ----------------------------------------------------
%
% PsychPowerMate('StartHistory', handle [, clearHistory=0]);
% -- Start recording of a knob press and knob motion history in the background.
% If the optional 'clearHistory' flag is set to 1 then the current history is
% cleared/discarded before start of recording of a new one.
%
%
% PsychPowerMate('StopHistory', handle);
% -- Stop recording of knob press and knob motion history.
% You can resume recording via 'StartHistory' or start recording a new one,
% discarding old data via 'StartHistory' with the flag clearHistory=1 set.
%
%
% history = PsychPowerMate('GetHistory', handle);
% -- Retrieve currently recorded knob press and knob motion history.
% history is a 4-by-n matrix with n columns for n recorded events.
% Row 1 contains knob position. Row 2 contains knob button state: 0 = Released,
% 1 = Pressed. Row 3 contains a GetSecs timestamp of the element. Row 4 tells
% if the given column records a knob press/release (0) or a knob movement (1).
%
%
% numItems = PsychPowerMate('GetHistorySize', handle);
% -- Return number of items currently recorded in history.

%

% History:
% 08-Apr-2016  mk  Written.
% 06-Oct-2017  mk  Add release flag to 'WaitButton' to wait for button release.
%                  Add 'untilTime' to 'WaitButton' and 'WaitRotate' to allow a
%                  wait with timeout.
%                  Simplify WaitXXX functions to use same code pathes on all OS,
%                  ie. drop Linux and OSX special cases. This simplifies the code,
%                  and should have no practical impact on precision or performance.
%                  Add ability to select one of multiple PowerMates by 'deviceId'.
%                  New 'List' function lists 'deviceId's of all connected PowerMates.
%
%                  New functions for Linux only for recording button activity and
%                  knob motion in the background via our improved keyboard queues,
%                  which can now track valuator changes and values, and thereby knob
%                  movement and positions.
% 25-Oct-2022  mk  Add check and warning if USB control transfers unsupported on macOS.
% 15-Nov-2022  mk  Reimplement 'SetBrightness' using PsychHID('SetReport'). Now works on all systems.
