Re: which timer is being used?

Thanks benj , o.k., the signal pulse glitch appears as though it has lost the compare value to bring the pulse down, ie. the pulse stays high until the start of the next pulse which causes the glitch pulse to finish by default, the pulse train then appears to be ok. for maybe 16 pulses then another...

which timer is being used?

Hi guys, i am using capture/compare in PWM servo controler as per your `multi servo controler` . i have added a `delay` component into flowcode and i believe it is causing a `glitch` in the signal pulse. Q. which timer does flowcode use for the `delay` component?, i think that it might be upsetting...

Re: Servo position control

Hi khaled yasin just had a look at the web page you linked to, interesting stuff. I can see your problem using the capture/compare if you have already used the PWM function, i do not know what your using the pwm for but could you not use the servo pwm ?, as you would be able to use upto 8 servo puls...

Re: Servo position control

Hi khaled yasin i`m not saying that your program is not working because of too many jumps. It is my understanding that if you can write programs without jumps, you would be writing better programs than those with jumps. Are you aware that i wrote a program for servo control called `PWM engine for s...

Re: Servo position control

Hi khaled yasin , i think you may need to start your PWM servo experimenting using the already available programs from this forum, it is only my opinion mind you, i think your tackling your programing the wrong way ...too many jumps... using the program length to govern the speed of pulses etc.... ...

Hi all, can flowcode ver. 4 incorperate an easier way to fill in the data in the `EEPROM component` such as a copy / past from various files, also get it to do a `wrap around` when `pasting` into the (hopefull!) `EEPROM component`. :|
