stupid problem with pwm
PostPosted: Mon Oct 27, 2014 12:35 pm     Reply with quote

I face a stupid problem with pwm.

I need to have a pwm. This pwm need to be activate if a switch is on and deactivate when switch is off.

i used the following code, but something is going wrong:


Code:

while(PIN_B5)
{
setup_compare(PIN_B14, COMPARE_PWM | COMPARE_TIMER2);
set_pwm_duty(PIN_B14,10);

}


what is the problem ?
i use PCD compiler v4.09

* you never setup or initialized timer2
* never setup the pwm
* you use wrong syntax in set_pwm duty

* v 4.09 is a dodgy old, muchly pirated version of the compiler

UPDATE compiler, and read the manual.
then you might be in better shape

Actually the problem appear also to compiler 5.007

for example by using the example EX_PWM_PCD.C
Code:
void main(void)
{
int value=10;
setup_timer2(TMR_INTERNAL | TMR_DIV_BY_1, 0xFFC0);
setup_compare(1, COMPARE_PWM|COMPARE_TIMER2);
set_pwm_duty(1,value * (unsigned int16)64);
}


i receive the error message:
Invalid parameters to build in function ::Invalid Pin

at the line:
Code:
setup_compare(1, COMPARE_PWM|COMPARE_TIMER2);


I think that the problem is coming from the header file of the dspic33fj128GP802.h

beacuse for the dspic30F2010 everything is working fine.

hmm.. the OP hasn't said which PIC he's using.....

The answer is simple.
Nothing to do with the processor include file.
All to do with the data sheet, and the capabilities of the processor.

Does this PIC have a fixed OC1 pin for the compare function to use?.

Answer. No.

_You_ have to tell the compiler which of the relocatable peripheral pins you want to use for the peripheral, _before_ you try to use it.

The compiler is telling you what is wrong in it's error message 'Invalid pin' is pretty obvious.

this is not the case for me.

The problem appear at the line

Code:

setup_compare(1, COMPARE_PWM|COMPARE_TIMER2);



timer2,compare pwm,compare timer2 is provided by the microcontroller.

what is going wrong?

It is the answer for you.

You are trying to use setup_compare, which uses the OC1 pin.

On chips with relocatable peripherals, you _have_ to tell the compiler which pin(s) to use, before using functions that use the peripherals.

Hence it is telling you that it doesn't have a valid pin setup for this function.

Search this forum for the term pin_select for a number of examples.
Also see ex_pinselect and ex_pinselect2 in the examples folder.

As a further comment, you don't want to be continuously sitting in a loop re-configuring the peripheral. It only needs to be setup _once_ unless you are changing things.
So something like:
Code:

   if (input(PIN_B5))
   {
       setup_compare(1, COMPARE_PWM | COMPARE_TIMER2);
       set_pwm_duty(1,10);
       while (input(PIN_B5)) ; //wait for pin to release
       set_pwm_duty(1,0); //turn off PWM
   }


The first parameter in the compare function is the PWM unit number, _not_ a pin number.
