HydraFW PWM (Pulse Width Modulation)

This guide is updated towards firmware release HydraFW v0.9 Beta and later

Output type: 0 or 3.3volt

PWM configuration syntax description:

• Usage: pwm <frequency (1Hz to 42MHz)> [duty-cycle (0 to 100%)] [exit]
• PWM1 is mapped on PB11 pin

Syntax:

• frequency PWM frequency integer value in Hz <value 1Hz to 42MHz> (support k, m suffix or no suffix)

  • Returns real frequency depending on Hardware (for frequency >10KHz error increase)

• duty-cycle Duty Cycle in % <value 0 to 100>

  • Returns real duty-cycle depending on Hardware (for frequency >10KHz error increase)

• exit Exit PWM mode (reinit PWM1 pin to safe mode/in)

PWM examples:

> pwm frequency 12 duty-cycle 33
PWM1 Frequency: 12, Duty Cycle: 33%(+/-1%)

> pwm duty-cycle 50
PWM1 Frequency: 12, Duty Cycle: 50%(+/-1%)

> pwm frequency 1234
PWM1 Frequency: 1234, Duty Cycle: 50%(+/-1%)
