PWM=on...DEBUG=off

Hi guys,

i'm building a project to test piezos and check what is the best working frequency.

I'm using a 12F615 and the code is very simple:
send frequency out using HPWM and when the sound from the piezo sounds about right and pressing a switch the frequency value will output via RS232.

The problem i'm having is that when activating HPWM the debug function does not work.
If i remove the bold definitions ( see below ) the debug works.

Any help would be appreciated

Hi there,

anyone has any idea that can help me ?

Thanks

Just a suggestion. Can you not send the frequency after SW1 is hit? Or does that not work as well?

Greetings Jerson,

thank you for your reply

One question:

When needed to stop the HPWM we just place a zero duty value but internally the module is still active and on standby.

Is it possible to really shutdown the HPWM module, like for example placing the "CCP1CON=0" in the code's last loop ?

Thanks

Greetings ruijc

Setting HPWM value to 0 should be sufficient to keep the output off, but, it should be ok to put it off as you suggested.
