You could write directly to the PWM1CON register, or you could make
a little function to do it. Example:
Code:

// Call this routine to set the PWM deadband.
// The deadband value can be from 0 to 127,
// and is in units of Instruction Cycles (Fosc/4).
// For example, with a 4 MHz crystal, an instruction
// cycle is 1 us.   
void set_deadband(int8 deadband)
{
#byte PWM1CON = 0x9B

if(deadband > 127)   // Do a limit check on the value.
   deadband == 127;

PWM1CON = deadband;
}

This function should be called after you call the setup_ccp1()
function.

I am writing a test program for 16F1826.
I might have misunderstood something but the device header file does not contain any definitions for CCP_PULSE_STEERING_A or similar keywords.
I don't think setting TRIS register is enough to get the PWM signal on P1A, P1B, P1C and P1D.

Is it a wrong .h file? Can I copy those declarations from another .h file?
v4.106

If it's not in the .h file, CCS may not support it yet. These are new PICs.
I'll check on a work-around for you later.

I don't have a 16F1826 to test, but I think the following work-around code
may work. In the test program shown below, after you call setup_ccp1()
you just call set_pulse_steering() function. Use the constants shown
below to select which channels (P1A, P1B, P1C, P1D) you want to use
for PWM output. I compiled this with vs. 4.107.
Code:

#include <16F1826.h>
#fuses INTRC_IO, NOWDT, PUT, NOLVP
#use delay(clock=4000000)

// These are the default PWM output pins for the 16F1826.
// Note: Alternate pins are available for P1A, P1C, P1D
// by setting bits in the APFCON0 register.
#define P1A  PIN_B3   // Alternate is  Pin B0
#define P1B  PIN_B5   // No alernate pin
#define P1C  PIN_B6   // Alternate is Pin A7
#define P1D  PIN_B7   // Alternate is Pin A6

// Constants for Pulse Steering.
#define CCP_PULSE_STEERING_A    0x01000000
#define CCP_PULSE_STEERING_B    0x02000000
#define CCP_PULSE_STEERING_C    0x04000000
#define CCP_PULSE_STEERING_D    0x08000000
#define CCP_PULSE_STEERING_SYNC 0x10000000
 
// Call this routine to set the PWM steering.  You can OR
// together the PWM steering constants from the PIC's
// header file.  (In this case, use the constants shown
// above, since the header file doesn't have them).
void set_pulse_steering(int32 steering)
{
int8 temp;
#byte PSTR1CON = 0x296

temp = make8(steering, 3);  // Get high byte only

PSTR1CON = temp;   // Setup PWM steering register

// Set the TRIS to outputs for the enabled steering pins.
// Also set the selected pins to a low level.
if(temp & 1)
   output_low(P1A);
if(temp & 2)
   output_low(P1B);
if(temp & 4)
   output_low(P1C);
if(temp & 8)
   output_low(P1D);
}


//===========================================
void main()
{
setup_timer_2(T2_DIV_BY_16, 124, 1);  // Set 1000 Hz PWM freq

set_pwm1_duty(31);  // Set PWM for 25% duty cycle

// Set up PWM so that all four outputs are active high.
setup_ccp1(CCP_PWM_H_H);

// Enable PWM output on all four pins.
set_pulse_steering( CCP_PULSE_STEERING_A |
                    CCP_PULSE_STEERING_B |
                    CCP_PULSE_STEERING_C |
                    CCP_PULSE_STEERING_D);


while(1);
}

thanks a lot,
I am gonna test it out during the weekend.

Cheers
