    Default Hardware PWM (HPWM) Clairification on 18F45K22

    I normally like to code all of my own hardware using the direct access to registers however PBP has included a very nice HPWM Command that makes all of this very simple... However i feel a bit confused as to what is all required in the code to make the HPWM function work correctly in PBP3.

    Does anyone have an simple and or basic code that can be used for my 18F45K22 device?

    The 18F45K22 has select-able ccp channels and it is unclear to me (even after reading the datasheet section) how to align these cpp channels correctly using the registers.

    I am using 4 LED's that i would like to control using HPWM. I am running the cpu from its internal 16Mhz OSC

    LED 1: RC2/CCP1
    LED 2: RC1/CCP2
    LED 3: RE0/CCP3
    LED 4: RD1/CCP4

    I have already set the pins. but I am not sure about the additional registers and defining the timers. Example "define CCP1_REG & define CCP1_BIT" etc...

    TRISC.2 = 0 ' Set Pin to Output
    ANSELC.2 = 0 ' Set Pin to Digital
    Mode_LED_R var PortC.2 ' Digital PWM Output: Mode LED Red Element

    TRISC.1 = 0 ' Set Pin to Output
    ANSELC.1 = 0 ' Set Pin to Digital
    Mode_LED_G var PortC.1 ' Digital PWM Output: Mode LED Green Element

    TRISE.0 = 0 ' Set Pin to Output
    ANSELE.0 = 0 ' Set Pin to Digital
    Mode_LED_B var PortE.0 ' Digital PWM Output: Mode LED Blue Element

    TRISD.1 = 0 ' Set Pin to Output
    ANSELD.1 = 0 ' Set Pin to Digital
    Bluetooth_Link_LED var PortD.1 ' Digital PWM Output: Blue Link Status LED


    define HPWM1_TIMER 1
    define HPWM2_TIMER 2
    define HPWM3_TIMER 3
    define HPWM4_TIMER 4
    CCP1CON = %00001100 ' Turn CCP1 to PWM Mode
    CCP2CON = %00001100 ' Turn CCP2 to PWM Mode
    CCP3CON = %00001100 ' Turn CCP3 to PWM Mode
    CCP4CON = %00001100 ' Turn CCP4 to PWM Mode
    CCP5CON = %00000000 ' Dissable Comparator / PWM Module


    Any help or example code of how to use the HPWM on this chip would be GREATLY Appreciated!!!

    I haven't used HPWM yet, but DEFINES must be in uppercase.

    Demon,

    The word "define" is a PBP statement, and PBP is not case sensitive. So it doesn't matter what case DeFiNe is.
    What follows "define" is passed on to the assembler, and MPASM IS case sensitive.

    Any defines that PBP is expecting to see, must be UPPERCASE because that's what PBP is looking for.
    Defines used in your own assembly language routines can be any case, as long as your code is looking for the same case.

    neondales's defines have the correct case , even though they are unnecessary and use the wrong timers.

    neondale,

    You don't need any of what you posted, except for the ANSEL's.
    And since you are just fading LED's, the CCP's can all run off of the same Timer, which is TIMER2 by default.

    Here's a program that starts up CCP1-4 at 3Khz - 50% dutycycle.
    Note that the default location for CCP3 is PORTB.5.
    You can move it to PORTE.0 by changing the CCP3MX_ configuration bit.
    If you move it ... change the CCP3 defines to match.
    Code:
    ;----[Device Configuration]--(See manual section 4.9)---------------------------
    #CONFIG
        __config  _CONFIG1H, _FOSC_INTIO67_1H & _PLLCFG_ON_1H & _PRICLKEN_ON_1H & _FCMEN_ON_1H & _IESO_ON_1H

        __config  _CONFIG3H, _CCP2MX_PORTC1_3H & _PBADEN_OFF_3H & _CCP3MX_PORTB5_3H & _HFOFST_ON_3H & _T3CMX_PORTC0_3H & _P2BMX_PORTD2_3H & _MCLRE_EXTMCLR_3H
        __config  _CONFIG4L, _STVREN_ON_4L & _LVP_OFF_4L & _XINST_OFF_4L & _DEBUG_OFF_4L
    #ENDCONFIG

    Uncomment the GOTO Fade1 to run the Fade routine.

    I've used it on 628A without any defines, just HPWM command.

    The 16F628A only has one CCP module, and it's output cannot be moved to a different pin.

    The 18F45K22 has 5 CCP modules, and two of them can be moved to different pins.

    The part that was most helpful is the fact that PBP3 now defines all of its config bits in a very organized fashion for the new devices:

    #IF __PROCESSOR__ = "18F45K22"
    #MSG "** STARTING FIRMWARE COMPILATION **"
    #MSG "COMPILING FIRMWARE (" + __FILE__ + ")"
    #msg "FOR MICROCHIP PIC PROCESSOR (" + __PROCESSOR__ + ")"
    #IF __LONG__ = 1
    #MSG "PICBASIC COMPILER IS USING LONG VARIABLES (PBPL)"
    #ELSE
    #MSG "PICBASIC COMPILER IS USING WORD VARIALBLES (PBPW)"
    #ENDIF
    #CONFIG
    CONFIG FOSC = INTIO67 ; Internal oscillator block
    CONFIG PLLCFG = OFF ; Oscillator used directly
    CONFIG PRICLKEN = OFF ; Primary clock can be disabled by software
    CONFIG FCMEN = OFF ; Fail-Safe Clock Monitor disabled
    CONFIG IESO = OFF ; Oscillator Switchover mode disabled
    CONFIG PWRTEN = ON ; Power up timer Enabled
    CONFIG BOREN = SBORDIS ; Brown-out Reset enabled in hardware only (SBOREN is disabled)
    CONFIG BORV = 190 ; VBOR set to 1.90 V nominal
    CONFIG WDTEN = ON ; WDT is always enabled. SWDTEN bit has no effect
    CONFIG WDTPS = 32768 ; 1:32768
    CONFIG CCP2MX = PORTC1 ; CCP2 input/output is multiplexed with RC1
    CONFIG PBADEN = OFF ; PORTB<5:0> pins are configured as digital I/O on Reset
    CONFIG CCP3MX = PORTE0 ; P3A/CCP3 input/output is mulitplexed with RE0
    CONFIG HFOFST = ON ; HFINTOSC output and ready status are not delayed by the oscillator stable status
    CONFIG T3CMX = PORTC0 ; T3CKI is on RC0
    CONFIG P2BMX = PORTD2 ; P2B is on RD2
    CONFIG MCLRE = EXTMCLR ; MCLR pin enabled, RE3 input pin disabled
    CONFIG STVREN = ON ; Stack full/underflow will cause Reset
    CONFIG LVP = OFF ; Single-Supply ICSP disabled
    CONFIG XINST = OFF ; Instruction set extension and Indexed Addressing mode disabled (Legacy mode)
    CONFIG DEBUG = OFF ; Disabled
    CONFIG CP0 = OFF ; Block 0 (000800-001FFFh) not code-protected
    CONFIG CP1 = OFF ; Block 1 (002000-003FFFh) not code-protected
    CONFIG CPB = OFF ; Boot block (000000-0007FFh) not code-protected
    CONFIG CPD = OFF ; Data EEPROM not code-protected
    CONFIG WRT0 = OFF ; Block 0 (000800-001FFFh) not write-protected
    CONFIG WRT1 = OFF ; Block 1 (002000-003FFFh) not write-protected
    CONFIG WRTC = OFF ; Configuration registers (300000-3000FFh) not write-protected
    CONFIG WRTB = OFF ; Boot Block (000000-0007FFh) not write-protected
    CONFIG WRTD = OFF ; Data EEPROM not write-protected
    CONFIG EBTR0 = OFF ; Block 0 (000800-001FFFh) not protected from table reads executed in other blocks
    CONFIG EBTR1 = OFF ; Block 1 (002000-003FFFh) not protected from table reads executed in other blocks
    CONFIG EBTRB = OFF ; Boot Block (000000-0007FFh) not protected from table reads executed in other blocks
    #ENDCONFIG
    #ELSE
    #ERROR "FIRMWARE NOT SUPPORTED FOR " + __PROCESSOR__
    #ERROR "FIRMWARE REQUIRES AN 18F45K22 PIC PROCESSOR"
    #ERROR "!!! FIRMWARE COMPILATION ABORTED !!! "
    #ENDIF

    This is the config coding i am using in my pic processor now. to set up all of the config bits and change the Mux'ing of the CCP Modules. The Code is also ver helpful because i program a lot of different devices and if i have the wrong device set when i go to compile it... The Editor will "remind" me to change the output device type to the correct PIC. Melabs has done a great job and creating more functionality in the newest versions of the compilers.

    Thanks Melabs for Being Awesome!!!

    How do you insert a "code" Block into a post so that the code doesn't loose all of its formatting?

    Use GO ADVANCED option below reply box. The CODE tags are with square brackets (icon is # sign).
