    Default A PWM question

    If I am using this statement, PWM portb.7, 127,100.

    Is there a way to stop it before it finishes?

    Thanks, Don

    Yes, remove power from the PIC

    Once you start a pwm software based pwm, it will complete before it moves on.

    Thats what I thought. I guess I will use HPWM.

    Objection ...

    an asm interrupt can stop it ... but with an external action ! ( also possible with a timer ... but what the real use ? )

    Why insist on using 32 Bits when you're not even able to deal with the first 8 ones ??? ehhhhhh ...

    IF there is the word "Problem" in your question ...
    certainly the answer is " RTFM " or " RTFDataSheet " !!!

    Hi Acetronics,

    I want to output a pulse train to a stepper driver controller to turn a rotary table. If I make a mistake in entry or part way through the router cut I want to stop it. I realize I can just turn it off but wanted something different.

    Thanks, Don

    Timmer interrupt, HPWM would work. A huge "safety Break" button in serie is never a bad idea in case the driver goes nuts. Current read from the motor, feed into the pic and all plah plah is also a nice extra... Even better if you keep track of every "events" around...

    It's not a bug, it's a random feature.
    There's no problem, only learning opportunities.
