| SOLVED: Strange PWM behaviour |
 Posted: Sat Feb 08, 2014 6:38 am |

Hi All
dsPIC33EP64GP506
5.017
I set up the PWM to run 50kHz 10% dutycycle, all work OK. PWM 50kHz with 10% duty.
However it only run for 7.5ms then output are low for 7.5ms and then repeat this pattern.
Any idea? 
| Code: | #include <33EP64GP506.h>
#FUSES NOWDT //No Watch Dog Timer
#FUSES NOJTAG //JTAG disabled
#FUSES OSCIO //OSC2 is general purpose output
#FUSES NOCKSNOFSM //Clock Switching is disabled, fail Safe clock monitor is disabled
#FUSES NOIESO //Internal External Switch Over mode disabled
#define CLK_FREQ 20000000
#use delay(internal=CLK_FREQ)
#include <stdint.h>
#define LED_GREEN PIN_A8
#define LED_RED PIN_D6
//Setup PWM Boost for Display
#use PWM(PWM1,OUTPUT=PIN_G6,TIMER=3,FREQUENCY=50KHz,DUTY=10,STREAM=DISPPWM)
uint16_t LEDTime;
#INT_TIMER1
void timer1_isr(void) {
if (LEDTime++ > 500) {
LEDTime = 0;
output_toggle(LED_RED);
}
}
void main() {
setup_timer1(TMR_INTERNAL | TMR_DIV_BY_1, 10000); //2ms Timer
enable_interrupts(INT_TIMER1);
enable_interrupts(INTR_GLOBAL);
while(TRUE) {
}
} |
Regards

hmm..my first thought was that the WDT is enabled, but fuse say nowdt....
maybe a 'brownout' fuse is enabled and Vcc < threshold ?
the 7.5ms rate seems too 'nice'.
I know you don't want to 'step back' but I'd try the '1Hz flashing LED' program with NO ISRs and see what happens.

Thanks Jay for feed back
1Hz work fine with no interrupts. I also added a delay of 2 sec on start-up to see check whether it is not a restart. Get the delay on startup and then 1Hz on LED.
What I did notice, that sometimes after a reprogram it seems to be about 14ms instead of the 7ms, but when I cycle power it is back on the approx 7.5ms, actually it varies from 7.4 to say 7.7ms.

rats, so much for the 'easy' stuff!
If using MPLAB, any chance you're compiling in 'debug' mode and not 'release'?
That can cause 'odd' things to happen....

Just to be sure, I disconnect the programmer after programming and the issue are still the same.
Regards
PS I have to use MPLAB and ICD3 as CCS are still beta for this chip. |

Maybe I should just mentioned that Pin 3 and 4 are tied together, I do not see an issue with this, but just MAYBE

hmm..I don't use them 'fancy PICs', but perhaps there's a peripheral that needs to be disabled also don't know what's on pins 3 or 4....

On Pin 3: RPI47/T5CK/RB15
On Pin 4: RP118/RG6
Anyway I cut the tracks, no difference.

OK manage to get it working by writing directly to the registers.
Could not use the setup_compare function as the PWM does not use the TIMERS on this specific chip. And the USE PWM also want to specify a TIMER
by just adding the following it worked like a charm.
| Code: |
#WORD OC1RS = getenv("SFR:OC1RS")
#WORD OC1CON1 = getenv("SFR:OC1CON1")
#WORD OC1CON2 = getenv("SFR:OC1CON2")
OC1CON1 = 0x1c06;
OC1CON2 = 0x001f;
OC1RS = 200; //Period: 50kHz = 1/50e3 * 1/Tcy
set_pwm_duty(1,20); //10% DutyCycle
|
Also although the datasheet specify that 0x1f are the same as 0x00 when specifying the SYNCSEL bits it does not work on 0x00.

hmm.. well I'm glad someone is winning today !!!!
sounds like a compiler 'bug', easier to deal with tahn -19*C weather I'm in !!
cheers

Nice 28*C here.
Anyway here are an update involving less register manipulation.
| Code: | setup_compare(1, COMPARE_SYSTEM_CLOCK | COMPARE_PWM_EDGE );
set_compare_time(1,20,200); //PWM no, Duty, Period
OC1CON2 = 0x001f; //Datasheet fault

Hi Alan, do you mind adding the full code you ended up with? I am not sure to realize what you left and what you remove from the original post. I am having some trouble to get a DSPIC33EP to work with PWM.
thanks in advance. |

I do not understand. That is the full code to get the PWM working. Do not use the #use PWM directive from CCS.
Are your PIC running the 1Hz LED test successfully?
