Calculating maximum duty value for set_pwm_duty()
PostPosted: Fri Dec 08, 2017 1:08 am     Reply with quote

Is it possible to calculate at runtime the maximum value for set_pwmX_duty function using Fosc and timer settings?

It is the PR2 value plus one times four, minus 1. So if you have:
setup_timer_2(T2_DIV_BY_1, 199, 1);

The PR2 value is the 199.

Full on = ((199+1)*4)-1 = 799.

So 0 to 799.

How to get T2_DIV_BY_1 or T2_DIV_BY_4 or something else in program at runtime? I mean, the program needs to get timer settings, calculate max duty value and use it on it's own purposes.

They are just numbers.
There are only three typically /1, /4 & /16.

So something like:
Code:

int1 select_ratios(int16 div_reqd)
{
    int8 factor, prescale;
    if (div_reqd>4096)
        return FALSE; //can't do this division
    if (div_req'd==0)
        return FALSE; //can't do this division /0!...

    if (div_reqd>1024)
    {
        prescale=T2_DIV_BY_16;
        factor=div_reqd/16;
    }
    else if (div_reqd>256)
    {
        prescale=T2_DIV_BY_4;
        factor=div_reqd/4;
    }
    else
    {
        prescale=T2_DIV_BY_1;
        factor=div_reqd;
    }
   
    setup_timer_2(prescale,factor-1,1);
    return(TRUE);
}

Obviously a lot of granularity, but shows the sort of thing needed.

Those 'numbers' can be acquired by reading the appropriate register and then decoding the bits. Have a read of the datasheet for your PIC, look under the timer section, there will be a chart with what bits control what function. Within your program locate the register using GETENV , ead the 'timer control register' save into a variable ,then parse or decode the bits.
I leave the actual coding for you to do, that way you'll get first hand knowledge !
