Generate a 50 Hz signal
PostPosted: Sun Oct 31, 2010 12:20 pm     Reply with quote

I am trying to generate a PWM sinal with a frequency of 46.5 HZ . I found a post in the forum which explains how to get that. I tried it and the code is:
Code:

#include<18f4520.h>      //Device Header
#fuses H4,NOPROTECT,NOWDT,PUT   // Set Fuses
#use delay(clock=2000000)   //20Mhz Clock
#use RS232 (baud=9600, parity = N, xmit = PIN_C6, rcv=PIN_C7)
 

#define PWM_PIN  PIN_E1

#define LOOPCNT 20

int8 width;

//-------------------------------
#INT_RTCC
void tick_interrupt(void);

//====================================
main()
{
width = 15;

setup_counters(RTCC_INTERNAL, RTCC_DIV_1);
enable_interrupts(INT_RTCC);
enable_interrupts(GLOBAL);
 
while(1);
}

//====================================
#INT_RTCC
void tick_interrupt(void)
{
static int8 loop = LOOPCNT;
static int8 pulse;

if(--loop == 0)
  {
   loop = LOOPCNT;
   pulse = width;
  }

if(pulse)
  {
   output_high(PWM_PIN);
   pulse--;
  }
else
  {
   output_low(PWM_PIN);
  }

}

The problem is that, it generates a 11.63 HZ signal and I am unable to increase the frequency.
Please suggest a solution. Thanks in advance.

Your 11.64 hz is 1/4 that of the 46.5 that you want..so... it's probably in the 'fuses' configuration or setup that is wrong..off by a factor of 4.

I don't use the 18 series but others may know the corect config which may depend upon the version of the compiler...

Your #use delay() statement doesn't have 20 MHz in it. It has a smaller
number. Also, the 'H4' fuse is normally used with a 10 MHz crystal to
run the PIC at 40 MHz. 'H4' means the 4x PLL is enabled in the PIC.
This is the maximum speed of the 18F452.

If you have a 20 MHz crystal and you want to run the PIC at 20 MHz,
then use the 'HS' fuse, and edit the #use delay() so it says 20 MHz.
