ProblemwithPWMfrequency

[HenrikOlsson]

What Darrel said.

AND

In a post made March 13th:

You answered your own question in (1) from the Midrange manual:

(1) " If the PWM duty cycle value is longer than the PWM period, the CCPx pin will not be cleared. This allows a duty cycle of 100%".

Any dutycycle value above 796 will result in 100% dutycycle. In other words your SIN-output will be distorted/clipped.

You have several values larger than 796 (4*199 (which is what you have PR2 set to, remember we've been thru this)) in your lookuptable so you are "overdriving" the dutycycle register and "clipping" will occur.

Hi to all
I tried to modify the code according to Darrel Taylor and HenrikOlsson comments but the problem still exits, let me put in real hardware and see what happen.
And here is modified code but the output is still like that posted in the previous post.

Hi to all
I try to download my program from my computer(wind7)using PIC16f877 development board and ET-CAB10PIN V2 interfacing cable but WHEN I try to run winpic800 software.
the following problems arise.
(1)failed to import Smport.sys
(2)when I check the hardware it say hardware not responding

any one can help me how to solve this problems
thanks

Hi every one
(1) Previous I thought that the problem of flat spot on my SPWM signal was due to the simulator(ISIS) but I was wrong because I implement it on the actual hardware using PIC16F877V1-V2 DEVELOPMENT BOARD board and DLIS40L oscilloscope but the problem still remain now I'm totally confused what cause that problem of flat spot to my wave form. I try to scale my look up table so that my dutycycle lie on the range of (0 to 4*199) but nothing was change to my signal
when viewed.
(2)ARE the ten bit look table is not working on 8bit chip like 16F877 0R 16F777 ? I think those values greater than 255 is one cause that problems

Any one can help me to solve these problems
