16f886 PWM Problems
PostPosted: Mon Apr 30, 2007 12:10 pm     Reply with quote

I'm trying to program the PWM on a 16F886, but am having some problems with it. Basically, the PWM output pulses between 0 & approx. 300mV, rather than 0 and 5V as it should. Also, it appears to come in "blocks" of 8 pulses at about 62 kHz when I look at it on a scope (which seems almost exactly the same as my SCL pin for my EEPROM for some reason). I've tried 2 different PICs so pretty sure they're not duff.

Relevant code is below:

Code:
// Define registers & bits
#byte PORTA = 0x05
#byte PORTB = 0x06
#byte CCP2CON = 0x1D
#byte CCPR2L = 0x1B
#byte OSCCON = 0x8F
#byte ANSEL = 0x188
#byte T1CON = 0x10
#byte T2CON = 0x12
#byte PR2 = 0x92



(TIMER1 is disabled below as it shares a pin with CCP2, so just making sure it won't interfere)
Code:

   OSCCON = 0x71;                     // Use internal 8 MHz oscillator
   ANSEL = 0x00;                     // Turn off analogue inputs
   CCP2CON = 0x3;                     // Setup CCP2 as PWM
   T1CON = 0x0;                     // Disable TIMER1
   T2CON = 0x4;                     // Turn on TIMER2 and set pre- and postscalers to 1   
   PR2 = 0xF9;                        // Set PR2 value to 249 to give PWM frequency of 8 kHz


Code:
// PWM output   
#inline void writePWM(signed long sample)
{
   unsigned long pwmout = 0;

   pwmout = 0x8000 + sample;   // Offset around 0x8000
   pwmout = pwmout >> 8;      // Scale to 8 bit by shifting right 8 bits
   CCPR2L = pwmout;         // Write resulting 8 bits to CCPR2L
}

You have this line in your program:
Quote:
CCP2CON = 0x3; // Setup CCP2 as PWM


The 16F886 data sheet says that "0x3" is an unused (reserved) setting:
Quote:

REGISTER 11-2: CCP2CON: CCP2 CONTROL REGISTER

bit 3-0 CCP2M<3:0>: CCP2 Mode Select bits
0000 = Capture/Compare/PWM off (resets CCP2 module)
0001 = Unused (reserved)
0010 = Unused (reserved)
0011 = Unused (reserved)
0100 = Capture mode, every falling edge
0101 = Capture mode, every rising edge
0110 = Capture mode, every 4th rising edge
0111 = Capture mode, every 16th rising edge
1000 = Compare mode, set output on match (CCP2IF bit is set)
1001 = Compare mode, clear output on match (CCP2IF bit is set)
1010 = Compare mode, generate software interrupt on match
(CCP2IF bit is set, CCP2 pin is unaffected)
1011 = Compare mode, trigger special event (CCP2IF bit is set,
TMR1 is reset and A/D conversion is started if the ADC
module is enabled. CCP2 pin is unaffected.)
11xx = PWM mode.

That was the problem, thanks! Must have typed a couple of 1's in the wrong place in my hex calculator!
