Hi all,

For the past couple of days I’ve been searching this forum for a particular post dealing with controlling a servo motor in the background using DT’s instant interrupts. It was posted by somebody as working code, in the past two month or so, proving the flexibility of DT’s instant interrupts.
I’m not sure if “servo”, “servo motor”, “instant interrupts” are the right keywords or I just overlooked the post if it came up in my search (sometimes you don’t see the forest because of the trees).
Does anyone remember that post and have a link for it?

Thank you in advance,

Nick

This is all I could come up with:

But none of them deal specifically with servos and instant int's.
Check www.pbpgroup.com, look for servo's. That might be what you're after...

Hi, Nick

Ski is right ...

no real "background" servo output as it always uses the PULSOUT command ( DT interrupts just used for clocking ... what a pity ! )

"The Master" TALKED about that ... but never was any code furnished ( aha ...)

Have a look to Mikroe Forums ... that's the way they proceed usually ... lol

Hello everyone,

I contacted DT on his forum and he pointed me to the right post in his forum:

http://www.pbpgroup.com/modules/wfsection/article.php?articleid=2

So, I was 50% wrong when stating my request. It was Darrell’s post not somebody else and it does not use DL’s instant interrupts it uses one of DL’s PWM routines.
I was only right that Darrell was involved and it does drive a servo in the background.

Thanks again for your prompt help.

Best regards,

Nick
