| Issue pwm_set_frequency() :( |

Hi friends
This program not work to any frequency, if use: pwm_set_frequency()???
| Code: |
#include <18f252.h>
#use delay(crystal= 20000000)
#fuses hs, nowdt,ccp2c1
#use pwm(ccp1,timer=2, output=pin_c2, frequency=10000)
void config_pwm(void)
{
pwm_on();
pwm_set_frequency(5000); //here problem, not work :(
pwm_set_duty_percent(700UL);
}
void main()
{
config_pwm();
while(true)
{
output_high(pin_b0);
delay_ms(200);
output_low(pin_b0);
delay_ms(100);
}
}
|
Any idea?
Thanks |

I've been playing with it, based on your program, with vs. 5.010.
I have come to the conclusion that this function does not work:
| Code: | | pwm_set_frequency() |
With a 20MHz crystal I always get 1.22 KHz for the frequency, no matter
what parameter I put into that function. You can set the frequency in the
original #use pwm() statement. That works. But you can't change it later
because pwm_set_frequency() is buggy. |

and (of course) remember that you can set the frequency using a setup_timer_2 line at any point, but you have to do the calculations...
It is always going to be a 'dubious' function, since the actual frequencies that can be achieved are limited, and changing this will alter the PWM resolution. Seems a case of the compiler trying to be a bit 'too smart'. Except possibly on chips with the 12bit PWM's, where more accurate frequencies are possible.

Thanks PCM programmer, you're right

So is Ttelmah, Thanks

if you want arbitrary frequency, or one hz ( even fractional hz) resolution
then the NCO module of the 16f15xx parts
can't be beat.
it is very easy to adapt over a great range of Fosc
and many decades of 1 hz of resolution too
and gives terrific accuracy with a power of two crystal.
