Syntax:

    PWMOn               'only applies to CCP/PWM channel 1
    'or
    PWMOff

    PWMOn( channel )            'where the parameter can be any valid CCP/PWM channel, 1, 2, 3, 4 or 5
    'or
    PWMOff( channel )

    PWMOn( module_number , PWMModule)            'where the parameter can be any valid PWM channel 1 .. 9
    'or
    PWMOff( module_number , PWMModule)

Command Availability:

Only available on Microchip PIC microcontrollers with a CCP/PWM or PWM module.

See here HPWM CCP for the method to change PWM parameters dynamically or to use other CCP channels - this method support CCP1/PWM, CCP2/PWM, CCP3/PWM, CCP4/PWM and CCP5/PWM.

Explanation:

This command sets up the hardware PWM module of the Microchip PIC microcontroller to generate a PWM waveform of the given frequency and duty cycle.   Once this command is called, the PWM will be emitted until PWMOff is called.

These constants are required to set the parameters for the PWM. The frequency and the duty applies to all channels when using the method(s) or macro(s) shown above.

Constant Name Controls Default Value

PWM_Freq

Specifies the output frequency of the PWM module in KHz.

38

PWM_Duty

Sets the duty cycle of the PWM module output. Given as percentage.

50


For CCP/PWM modules are also supported using a call to a method or a macro, as follows:

Fixed Mode PWM for PWM Modules.

To set the Fixed Mode PWM for PWM Modules you need to set a timer frequency, a PWM module cycle and the PWM model source clock.

The options for source clock are shown below. These are the PWM timers supported by the PWM modules, where nn is the frequency. 

    PWM_Timer2_Freq `nn` or
    PWM_Timer4_Freq `nn` or
    PWM_Timer6_Freq `nn`.

The PWM module duty is set using PWM_`yy`_Duty xx' where `yy is between 1 and 9 and is a valid PWM module, and, xx is the Duty cycle for specific channels 

    #define PWM_yy_Duty xx

The PMW module clock source us PWM_`zz`_Clock_Source tt. Where zz is channel and tt is the PWM clock source. 

    #define PMW_zz_Clock_Source tt

You do not need to define all the timers and or all the channels, just define the constants you need.

The minimum is A timer with a frequency A PWM channel with a duty A PWM channel clock source

Example: For PWM channel 6 with a frequency of 38Khz with a duty of 50% with a clock source of timer 2, use

        #define PWM_Timer2_Freq 38
        #define PWM_7_Duty 50
        #define PMW_7_Clock_Source 6

Details of the constants with example parameters.

#define PWM_Timer2_Freq 20        'Set frequency in KHz, just change the number
#define PWM_Timer4_Freq 40        'Set frequency in KHz, just change the number
#define PWM_Timer6_Freq 60        'Set frequency in KHz, just change the number
