    Can each channel have different duty cycles?

    This is quite a bit over my head, could you post a code example?

    As many as can be had. Only limitation is processor cycles. Depending on what freq the PWM gets run at, you end up running out of enough cycles to adjust all of the channel's PWM's in the main loop and might run out of cycles in the interrupt loop to update all of the channels before the next interrupt hits.

    I need at least 16-24 channels, i will investigate more on the forum, if anyone have spotted something useful please be nice to post it here

    Just a simple Tmr0 overflow running as fast as it can... When the interrupt hits, I update the channels/pins according to their duty cycle 'register' variable. Outside the interrupt sub, in the main loop, I update the duty cycle 'register' itself depending on whatever I'm doing.
    That's exactly what I've done in C but that wasn't refresh at the same speed at yours... i was running the outputs @ 220.4 hz but the effects that i need to do with the leds wasn't good , kinda jerky sometimes even with 48mhz (12mips) clock, I ran out off juice :S !

    Btw,skimask why not post it to the code examples or a little example here? I respect your work, if you don't want to share your code it's ok i understand that ...

    Have a nice day you guys!

    You really helped me

    I really love this forum, every time i come, i learn something :P

    Best Regards,
    Laurent

    Exactly which piece of work do you respect the most?
    Most people don't respect my work at all, if only because it's basically unreadable, as I'm sure it would be to you. The style of coding I've chosen and use is almost unreadable to the person that's not used to it. Ask anybody that's been around awhile, they'll tell you the same thing. The High Colonic Master...yep...that's me...

    I like to think of it in these terms:
    My code takes up less space on the screen...
    Most other's code takes up less space in the brain...

    Hi Laurent

    I have had great sucess with Darrel's DT_INTS-18 and SPWM_INT . I am doing 16 ch of PWM on a pic 18F2410 32 MHz. The pwm is running at 100Hz 8 bit resolution.

    Thanks Darrel (I never tire of saying that)

    take a look at this thread:

    It works !!!

    I'm using the Darrel Taylor's DT_INTS-18 & SPWM_INT code.

    Everything is running smooth!

    Thanks everyone for the help!

    Have a nice day,
