Hey
I have managed to figure out most of the PWM stuff but am still in need of a
little help. I am using the Power Control PWM Module on the PIC18F4331, i have
managed to get the frequency from the calculation on the datasheet, it
wasn't 100% clear cause couldn't figure out what PTMRPS was, but it
turned out to be the Prescaler! Anyway, i have tried using the PWM Resolution
equation, but i can't seem to get the same answers as the example table, i
have not done a lot with LOG but just used it on the calculator. I don't
seem to get the correct Resolutions? Do anyone have any experience on the PWM
side of this PIC? Help would be great! Cheers

Hi.
Well, after getting my new PIC, it didn't take long to get it going! Was
a little worried at first! I can now receive using USART and then using the
values taken put that in the PWM unit and there i have a dimming LED! Beats
having a DA and few Op-amps!
My question is about the PWM maths. I have read the datasheet but can't
figure out how to calculate the frequency of the PWM. Maybe cause its 12:30 in
the morning! Can anyone point me in the direction to an equation to figure this?
It is working, well, at first i set all the prescaller to max so got a flashing
LED rather than a dimming! So upped the pre and got a good dim! Just would like
to figure the freq.
Cheers,
Paul
