Greetings from Newbie and a question

[ChrisHelvey]

I did NOT know that. That's fantastic. I don't use the PWM command to access it?

I suppose I should look at the datasheet, but if you feel inclined to point me the right direction, it's appreciated.

I was actually able to make a very nice square wave with an adjustable period/duty cycle by using pin on, pin off, and pauses. I won't need to make any duty cycle changes on-the-fly, but I may want to be able to turn it on and off at will.

Thanks.

This is a small portion of code that I wrote recently and may help you although it was written for a 16F628A:

INTCON = %11000000     ' These 2 lines set the Timer 1 to be
PIE1 = %00000001         ' utilised by enabling Global and Peripheral interrupts

T2CON = %00000111           ' Timer 2 is needed by HPWM command

CCP1CON = %00001100        ' This is needed also for HPWM command

....................

    HPWM 1, 127, 0          ' Make sure the jets are off

pause 1000

frequency = 2510                ' Set frequency at start -15Hz for Hotspring. - FREQUENCY WAS A VARIABLE I ASSIGNED!

hpwm 1, 127, frequency        ' Output start frequency of 2510Hz

The best thing to do is to read the datasheet for that particular PIC though as you quite rightly said. Also refer to the Pic Basic Pro manual - extremely helpful!!
