Hi All,
I need a 0-10v Dc control voltage for control an electronic ballast.
using an Op Amp and a PIC PWM output, (16f77,4mhz)
i need to control 0-10v in 10steps with UP and Down Buttons..
Please help..
Thanks.

Try the attached schematic. Apply pwm to Vin. With trail and error adjust pwm to output the disired voltage. Then enter these values in your code.

What code? :D I think the O/P wants the code written for them...Quote:

That's a handy little idea to have around...
Deleted.. Sorry.
Dude! I agree that you are a genius, but i am Just a learner.. support ppl who wants some help but dont try to stop who willing to help..Quote:

And...that code you posted...why would it stop for you? There's nothing in there to make it stop!
Thank you very Much, actually i was trying that code in proton,by mistake i pasted.will delete now.Quote:

Help would be appritiated..
Warm Regards..
Again...not a senior member of anything, and I don't use Proton.Quote:

OK, the 555 is good trick, but if you use an LMC66x series op-amp and a single +12 volt supply, you have a 0-10 voltage amplifier with 3 parts! May be 2 more to filter PWM from PIC...

If you use a PIC with Hardware PWM (eg 16F628) then varying the Duty in steps of 10% from 0 to 100% (see HPWM command) will give you your ten steps. A simple filter on the output will then give you ten voltage steps from 0v (0%) to 5v (100%).
I recall posting a circuit for an Op-Amp Voltage Doubler some time back. Do a forum SEARCH, stick that on the end of your filter and presto - you got ten steps of 0-10v.

Or you could use one of these (without the need for a separate high voltage supply):

The TCM828/829 are CMOS "charge-pump" voltage converters in ultra-small 5-Pin SOT-23A packages. They invert and/or double an input voltage which can range from +1.5V to +5.5V. Conversion efficiency is typically >95%. Switching frequency is 12kHz for the TCM828 and 35kHz for the TCM829. External component requirement is only two capacitors (3.3µF nominal) for standard voltage inverter applications. With a few additional components a positive doubler can also be built. All other circuitry, including control, oscillator, power MOSFETs are integrated on-chip. Supply current is 50µA (TCM828) and 115µA (TCM829). The TCM828 and TCM829 are available in a 5-Pin SOT-23A surface mount package.
Hi, Could you please guide me If a 4MHz oscillator and 16f877a are used. want to control with UP and Down Buttons(10 steps)Quote:

Thank you.
Use Portc.1 or Portc.2 and HPWM (see page 73 of the manual)
B0 var Byte
Vduty var Byte
Vduty=0
B0=1
Main:
if UpButton =0 then
If Vduty<255 Then Vduty=Vduty+B0
Gosub HpwmSet
endif
if DownButton =0 then
If Vduty>0 then Vduty=Vduty+B0
Gosub HpwmSet
endif
goto Main
HpwmSet:
HPWM Channel, Vduty,Frequency
Return
with B0 = 1 you have 255 steps , if you want 10 steps set B0 = 25
UpButton and DownButton are two input ports with a 10K resistor pullup, the switch is normally open.
Al.
Sorry should be:
if DownButton =0 then
If Vduty>0 then Vduty=Vduty-B0
Gosub HpwmSet
endif
You know you can EDIT your own posts right? :)Quote:

Do you have a couple of LEDs handy?
I always add a 'heart beat' LED to whatever I'm doing, even if I know the hardware is working... Really helps for troubleshooting...
And if you're using the internal pullups, you're turning on the internal pull-ups, then turning them right back off...
Code:OPTION_REG.7=0 'Enable internal pull-ups
OPTION_REG = %11111000 ' Assign prescaller to WDT
Hi, Still not working..need help..Quote:

Go back to your post #17
In it you are changing a variable Vduty. This part is good.
You then call a subroutine HpwmSet. Explain to me how in your code Vduty changes the HPWM setting?
Go to the PICBASIC manual, look up HPWM and how it is used, an then install Vduty correctly so it actually changes your PWM setting.
@Melanie, Should i change " HPWM 1,25,1000" TO " HPWM 1,127,1000" ? as per the PBPManual. And please let me know if any other value needs to be changed.. Actaully i'll have to finish this project as soon as possible..Quote:

HPWM 1,25,1000 '4.00khz
'HPWM 1,25,250 '16.00khz. tried this also.
Return
If the values in the HPWM statement are all constants, how is a variable in your main loop supposed to change that constant?
If you change
HPWM 1,25,1000
to
HPWM 1,127,1000
all you've done is change the 25 to a 127.
So, WHAT in your code is going to change ANYTHING in your HPWMset subroutine?
Naga the solution is under your eyes. With the present code you can press the switches for all your life but the duty cycle of your pwm out will remain always 25! Why we are making the variable VDuty moving from 0 to 255. Why I told you to change B0 to 25 if you want to scan the whole range with 10 steps ?
Al.
Hi all,So in my post #17, which Part of a statement that is not correct..Help.Quote:

Put the variable Vduty in the HPWM statement... (instead of number 25) like this:
HPWM 1,Vduty,1000 '4.00khz
