CircuitPython version and board name

Adafruit CircuitPython 9.2.5 on 2025-03-19; Raspberry Pi Pico with rp2040

Code/REPL

import board
import rotaryio

encoder_pins = [
    (board.GP0, board.GP1),
    (board.GP2, board.GP3),
    (board.GP4, board.GP5),
    (board.GP6, board.GP7),
    (board.GP8, board.GP9),
    (board.GP10, board.GP11),
    (board.GP12, board.GP13),
    (board.GP14, board.GP15),
    (board.GP16, board.GP17),
    (board.GP18, board.GP19),
]

encoders = []

print("setup encoders")
# Initialize encoders
for pin_a, pin_b in encoder_pins:
    print(f"Encoder at {pin_a}, {pin_b}")
    encoder = rotaryio.IncrementalEncoder(pin_a, pin_b)
    encoders.append(encoder)

Behavior

Prints out:

code.py output:
setup encoders
Encoder at board.GP0, board.GP1
Encoder at board.GP2, board.GP3
Encoder at board.GP4, board.GP5
Encoder at board.GP6, board.GP7
Encoder at board.GP8, board.GP9
Encoder at board.GP10, board.GP11

And freezes there, ctrl-C doesn't stop the code.

Description

I would expect an exception being raised when using too many encoders.
Or is it supposed to support like 8 encoders ?
Seems like a followup to #10024

Additional information

CircuitPython RP2040 used to support 8 encoders (but nothing else that required PIO). Because this project used to work: https://github.com/todbot/pico8enc

(btw if any CircuitPython dev wants a pico8enc PCB mailed to them, let me know)

With a debug build and debugprobe attached, seeing a hang-up in _transfer() of common-hal/rp2pio/StateMachine.c at line 978:[ while (rx_remaining || tx_remaining) {](https://github.com/eightycc/circuitpython/blob/9825f62f96994db556fbc18bfab4f951347a2c37/ports/raspberrypi/common-hal/rp2pio/StateMachine.c#L962-L990)

The pertinent part of the gdb backtrace:

We're looping because self->state_machine is NULL. Clearly that's wrong.

rp2pio_statemachine_construct() is silently failing by setting self->state_machine to 0xffffffff for the 5th encoder.

Incorrect processor dependent includes of iobank0.h and platform_defs.h in StateMachine.c. This would keep RP2350 boards from using the 3rd PIO. There are other instances of this in the RP2 port. Will write new issue for this.

StateMachine.c:use_existing_program() storing return from SDK function pio_claim_unused_sm() in unsigned int but later testing for <=0. Fixing this uncovers another bug where common_hal_rotaryio_incrementalencoder_deinit() causes an SDK assert after 9th IncrementalEncoder constructor fails.

Now working as expected, throwing "All state machines in use" on 9th constructor:

setup encoders
Encoder at board.GP2, board.GP3
Encoder at board.GP4, board.GP5
Encoder at board.GP6, board.GP7
Encoder at board.GP8, board.GP9
Encoder at board.GP10, board.GP11
Encoder at board.GP12, board.GP13
Encoder at board.GP14, board.GP15
Encoder at board.GP16, board.GP17
Encoder at board.GP18, board.GP19
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "code.py", line 25, in <module>
RuntimeError: All state machines in use
0;🐍25@code.py RuntimeError | 9.2.6-dirty
Code done running.

(I removed the first encoder in the list so I could use the UART debug console)
