Trying to get started w/ HPWM

[circuitpro]

WOW. Thanks for the serious 'pointer'! Ha. I just assumed that the HPWM command was the way to go. I haven't studied this long enough to know better, but I saw a code example on melab's own website that used this method, and never once used HPWM - I kept looking for the HPWM command.

Trying to direct the a PWM output to an available/unused pin now is what's concerning me, but am about to do some reading on the CCPMX & CONFIG1 commands, and hopefully will find the answers.

Your code is a great help, and I'll stop looking at 'HPWM'. THANKS.

The PBP HPWM command only gives something like 32Khz max PWM frequency. Although that is fine for a few things, writing directly to the registers allows frequencies to 416K and above.

Your chip's datasheet is your friend here. It explains the PR2 value vs. max resolution. For example: In the PIC18F8722 datasheet, look up table 17-3.

Unless you are using a device that has PPS (Peripheral Pin Select for mapping digital peripherals to various I/O for design flexibility) such as the 28/44-pin J11 and J50 series, the PWM outputs are fixed.
