PWM component is almost ready

Post by **Steve** » Tue Feb 27, 2007 6:34 pm

The PWM component is almost ready. Are there any "early adopters" who want to try it out before I package it up for a proper release?

Please contact me or Ben if you feel like being a guinea pig...

hi steve

I'v try the PWM component and i can say it worsk fine on pic16f877a and on pic18f452 .

From 0 to 100% duty cycle with NO problems At all.

THANKS FOR THE FINE RELEASE !!!

I'm about to send out a new version of the PWM component. It combines both PWM outputs in the same component, adds labels and allows changes to the period on the fly (e.g. for tone generation).

If this one works well, I'll write a help file and package it up in a new release of Flowcode (to be released in the next few weeks).

Hello Steve,

I 'm very keen to try the PWM component on a PIC18F4550 and PIC16F873a

Hi Steve, I would like to try the unit out, please tell me how to get hold of it..

Regards

Ian

Thanks to everyone who's tried this component out - it seems to work (at least no-one has told me otherwise), so I will include it in the next Flowcode update.

Hi Steve,

I'm trying to convert a value into a frequency (0 to 100Khz) to output to VFC (LM331) via an optocoupler and get a 0 to 10v output.

It would be a good chance for me to try the PWM component.

Would it be possible to have a copy of the component?

Hi, i would also like to try out the PWM component.

Thanks.

I would like to try out the PWM component too for the PIC16F628A to dim and light up LEDs.

Can this component be used with Flowcode V2?

Hello Bugmike

Im afraid the PWM component will only work with V3 of Flowcode as it is written using the new BoostC compiler.

Here you go. I have used the sample PWM module and modified a bit to glow an LED on the PIC16F628A. Please ignore the sound as my daughter was curious and took me a lot of takes to get a decent video

Hello Thanks for the video. Great to see enthusiasts out there using our product.

You're welcome. Now, I want to take this a step further.

Electroluminescent material needs an alternating voltage from 50volts to 220volts and uses a 2.5mA per sq inch or material.

Since I am not so familiar in PWM, is it possible to amplify the sinusoidal wave from the PIC and then make the EL media glow?
