PWMx8 object

[Jonathan]

Hi All,

I am having trouble getting the PWMx8 object to work on pin 13. It seems to have something to do with which pin I am trying to use. If I set the base_pin to 0, I can get PWM out of any pin 0-7. However, if I try to set the based_pin to 8 and get PWM out of 8-15, no joy. Here is the snip. It works fine 0-7, but nothing out of 8-15. The pins are all fine, I can manually twiddle them. The snip below should PWM all of the pins in the bank. For just pin 13 the pin select byte would be %0010_0000



CON
_clkmode = xtal1 + pll16x
_xinfreq = 5_000_000


base_pin = 8

VAR


byte duty


OBJ


pwm : "PWMx8"


PUB init
freq := 300
duty := 128
pwm.start(base_pin, %1111_1111,freq)
pwm.duty(base_pin,duty)
repeat
Any ideas what I am doing wrong?

Is any other cog running other software that could interfere with pin 13?

Nope, the is the code, the whole code, and nothing but the code. Oh, except that I forgot to declare freq as a long above, which it is in the real code. I just triple checked.

Thanks!

Jonathan,

Are you using version 1.1 (17 Jul 08) of pwmx8? It fixed some issues related to base pins > 0. The demo program that comes with it uses a base pin of 16.

Phil,

Yes, I am using the latest version. I went ahead and DL'd again just in case, but no luck.

Can anyone try out the code above to make sure it is something I am doing?

Thanks!

Jonathan

You are only assigning duty cycle to 1 pin. It worked using these mods


CON
_clkmode = xtal1 + pll16x
_xinfreq = 5_000_000
base_pin = 8

VAR
byte duty
long freq
OBJ
pwm : "PWMx8"
PUB init | i
freq := 300
duty := 128
pwm.start(base_pin, %1111_1111,freq)
repeat i from 0 to 7
pwm.duty(base_pin + i,duty)
repeat

Shanghai,

Bingo! Thanks for the help! Much appreciated. Now I can dim the nixie tubes in my clock. :)
