Generating 3-phase sine wave..

**sirvo** · - 25th July 2008, 21:29

Well, things have been working until now...

When Timer1 interrupts, a INDEX var is summed and another position in a sine table is selected.. then a new value is output throught HPWM.

The sine table is filled with 72 number.. So, to create a 60Hz sine wave, o must read it at approx. 4.32KHz.

So, When I set timer1 to 64386 (1:1 prescaler @ 20MHz), it should interrupt at ~4.32KHz and create de 60Hz sine wave... but, it is generating a 26Hz... if I set timer1 to 65000, it decreases the 26Hz to 20Hz ... I didnt get iT! It should read the table faster, shoul'nt it?

Well, thanks!!!

I'm guessing here, wild stab, since I don't see any other code here...
It might be reading it faster, but it might be missing/skipping a Tmr1 interrupt due to how long it takes to accomplish your interrupt code.
Try increasing the number by small amounts, see if it actually increases up to a point, and then drops off.

Do(does?) DT_INT's reset TMR1IF for you?

Past that, get rid of everything else and just toggle a pin, only toggle a pin, and nothing but toggle a pin...and measure that and see what happens.

**sirvo** · - 25th July 2008, 22:48

Yes, it DO (does) reset...

I set portd.0 to toggle on timer1 interrupt and it's been working fine.. (4.2Khz)..(i didnt get rid of those stuffs)

Then I set portd.0 to toggle inside the (if Flag = 1 then...) and it's been toggling in a frequency of 900Hz... It should be also 4Khz....

Well, any idea?

Thanks!

Are those GOSUBs and LOOKUPs still inside the Flag=1 If/Then block?

**sirvo** · - 26th July 2008, 14:48

I've measured the frequency of the block (if flag = 1 then) with and without the GOSUB/LOOKUP table.. it remains still ~900Hz...

I was thinking about the HPWM frequency generated by Timer2.. Its frequency is ~100Khz ..
Should not it be the problem? Well, I changed it to 20Khz and still got 900Hz...

Thanks...

My point is that it looks like your program 'flow' is jacked up and needs to be reworked.

**Darrel Taylor** · - 26th July 2008, 21:27

Sylvio,

This may sound silly, but are you sure it's a 20mhz crystal?

A 4mhz crystal with that Timer1 reload value would give ~870 hz.

For that matter, it might be running on the internal 4Mhz clock and ignoring the external completely.
Pull the crystal out and see if it still runs at all...

I've done that. It shows 4330Hz...

Yes, I am sure about it.. It is a 20Mhz Xtal.. Then ~900Hz is the frequency that the block (if flag = 1 ..) is running, but no the timer1 interrupt...

Thanks !

That's why I said you're program probably needs to be reworked.
It's spending too much time inside the 'flag if/then' updating the values, therefore it appears to not be interrupting fast enough, when it's actually trying to get everything done that you want it to do. There's just not enough instruction cycles left between interrupts to get that update accomplished.

(let's see if anybody gets this reference)
I guess you could call it a 1201 or a 1202 Program Alarm.
