I would like to use HPWM with wait. I tried

It did'nt accept it
I tried

It accepted it but the HPWM is not working

It's working

Thanks for your help

You first must start HPWM using HPWM pin,period,duty without the wait. Then you can use the wait. If the HPWM isn't running then wait will sit forever waiiting for an end of pulse that will never happen.

Hi Nathan,

What do you mean exactly, should I do like the code below :



Should I use "1" or "true" to set the wait?

Thanks


Chris

Your code is correct. "true" and "false" are not defined in the compiler. You could create defines for them. A TRUE values is any non-zero value. A FALSE value is 0.

I would do it like this though:



Starting the HPWM with a 0 duty sends no pulses. It just inits the pin and the period. THen in your main loop hpwm will wait for the previous period to finish before setting the new duty and you will get no glitches.
