Darrel Taylor's SPWM code usage

[Homerclese]

Hello All

A while ago I tried using Darrel Taylor's "Instant Interrupts. The demo showed that

three separate items could run (seemingly) at the same time using this interrupt scheme. It is a great piece of code.

Recently I tried to use the SPWM code with a 16F628a and three LEDs. After a day of

"it won't run at 20MHZ problems", I finally found the problem in posts concerning "setting fuses". If you are

venturing from 4MHZ to 20 MHZ for the first time, take the time to read these posts. Fuses are a real "gotcha" and

this may save you hours of frustration.

Anyway...I finally got the SPWM demo to run. The problem I have is

that the only advantage I can find here is that the PWM function can be held at a certain value

after leaving a for next loop. That's good! I could not do that with the basic PWM function

since the pulse generation stops when the loop is ended.

What I don't see in the demo is an example of the (magic) seemingly simultaneous interrupt scheme put to use as in

the "Instant Interrupts" code. I would like to run three PWM outputs independently controlled

using a technique similar to the one shown below. The SPWM demo uses a nesting of "for next" statements

but never seems to use the interrupt handlers. I have played around with INT settings in the

belly of the ASM beast but I'm just guessing.

Is this possible? Am I making this clear, or should I have another beer?



Something like below except for SWPM......

Main:
IF SecondsChanged = 1 THEN
SecondsChanged = 0
LCDOUT $FE,$C0, DEC Days,"d-",DEC2 Hours,":",DEC2 Minutes,":",DEC2 Seconds
ENDIF
GOTO Main


'---[INT - interrupt handler]---------------------------------------------------
ToggleLED1:
TOGGLE LED1
@ INT_RETURN

'---[TMR0 - interrupt handler]-------------------------------(Blinky Light)------
T0Count VAR WORD
ToggleLED2:
T0Count = T0Count + 1
IF T0Count = 512 THEN T0Count = 0 : TOGGLE LED2
@ INT_RETURN

Thanks in advance.

Here is an example of using his Instant Interrupt code to perform SPWM. I am cheating here a bit, using the R/C receiver as my 20ms timer. But it gives you an idea how to pulse your pins for a set amount of time. It uses one interrupt timer to SPWM out to 4 pins. http://www.scalerobotics.com/stamps/84-projects/pwm/71-pwm-passthrough.html (http://www.scalerobotics.com/PWMpassthrough.html)

Edit: Mybad, I forgot about Mibam. If you are interested in PWM for lighting/led control, you can use Mibam, basically a SPWM for smooth lighting effects on multiple pins. See: http://www.picbasic.co.uk/forum/showthread.php?t=10564
