Automatic Hardware Version detection
====================================
Functional Description
----------------------
In order to automatically select the available hardware features, the firmware checks the PCB's version
using vertain pins on the microcontroller.
The hardware revision is represented by the enum type :c:enum:`hw_revision`. A call to :c:func:`get_pcb_hardware_version` retrieves the revision.
When the function is called for the first time, it activates pull-up resistors on pin numbers :c:macro:`HW_REV_DETECT_PIN_LOW` to :c:macro:`HW_REV_DETECT_PIN_HIGH`
on port :c:macro:`HW_REV_DETECT_GPIO` and reads in the binary number.
The revision is set by externally connecting the pins to ground. The bit pattern read from the port is inverted and then checked internally to derive the hardware version.
After the version is read for the first time, it is stored internally and subsequent calls to :c:func:`get_pcb_hardware_version` only retrieve the internally stored value to reduce the overhead of the function.
Hardware Version Dependent Features
-----------------------------------
- The settings module searches for an external EEPROM on the SPI interface to store some settings, like the calibration. This is enabled for all versions higher or equal to ``v1.3``.
- The safety controller enables the acknowledging of the external watchdog for all versions higher or equal to ``v1.3``.
- The oven driver has a separate safety enable for the solid state relay which it enables on all versions higher or equal to ``v1.3``.
