Measuring PWM /w input capture ECT

Started by jeffguilfoil December 26, 2002
Hi,
I am trying to do some basic PWM input using input capture with the
ECT. I do not understand why it is not working. I've got a HCS12
(9S12DP256). Here's some code:

PWME EQU $A0
PWMPOL EQU $A1
PWMCLK EQU $A2
PWMPRCLK EQU $A3
PWMCAE EQU $A4
PWMCTL EQU $A5
PWMSCLA EQU $A7
PWMPER0 EQU $B4
PWMDTY0 EQU $BC

TIOS EQU $40 ;SELECT I/O DIRECTION
TNCT EQU $44 ;44-45 TIMER COUNT REG
TSCR1 EQU $46 ;TIMER SYSTEM CR 1 - BASIC TIMER
PROPERTIES
TCTL4 EQU $4B ;TIMER CR 4 - SET CAPTURE EDGE
TIE EQU $4C ;TIMER INTERUPT ENABLE
TSCR2 EQU $4D ;TIMER SYSTEM CR 2
TFLG1 EQU $4E ;FLAGS INDICATING INTERUPT (NON

Please guys I'm really stuck here. I'm trying to do my 4th year ECE

Hi Jeff. Why not just run the pwm into an rc lo pass filter, and run that
into an a/d input? The a/d reads the avg voltage of the pwn waveform from the
cap. This is exactly what you want, right?

Your PWM regs are not initialized correctly, specially the PWMPER0.
This one works for me, change the clock for higher freq.

PWME0 equ $01
PWME1 equ $02
PWME2 equ $04
PWME3 equ $08
PWME4 equ $10
PWME5 equ $20
PWME6 equ $40
PWME7 equ $80

Thanks for the reply.

Yes, I suppose the results using your technique are what I'm looking
for. I will be using a signal from a automobile crank angle sensor,
so the length of the highs changes perportionally with the length of
the lows. Do you see any problems with your suggested approach? The
only issue I see is what if the start of the sample doesn't land on
the same part of the pulse wave and the sample time is rather short
the value might quiet different. Thoughts?

Thanks for the reply.

I tried the settings you suggested, it's still not working. If I do
62500hz/256 = 122hz output (PWMCLK=$03 SA clock, PWMPRCLK=$0F SA =
8mhz/128, PWMSCLA=$00 SAb500hz/2, PWMPER0=$0F SA2500/256) and
select input capture of 8mhz/256 = 32500hz sample. The 16-bit input
capture register never fills and the timer always overflows.

I've tested the PWM output on it's slowest setting with a multimeter
and it is working. Feeding the PWM output into the input capture pin
always results in timer overflow.

Any ideas?
Thanks again,
Jeff

Well, you're the engine controller expert..... but I'll say that the rc
analog averager will give you an average over several crank revs depending on
the rc time constant... is this tolerable or do you need the instantaneous
crank angle of that particular rev?


This one works for me. I used PWM1 output and IC3 to measure PWM1.
I got 1/(32640 counts * 125E-9)=~245hz. I verified result with
frequency counter.

Var2 is the result of the difference between 1st and 2nd capture of
falling edges. Note that if the frequency is doubled then there
would be a problem with overflow, so some readjustment is required
for your apps. Hope this one would help - good luck.

Do you have any code that can do that, I would be very interested in getting
the sub routine and examining that. Is that like a mag pickup input to the
unit, this crank sensor. What would be the sampling rate of the a/d what is
the frequency ranges of the input signal? I am working on something similar
but don't know if its the same or not.

I don't have code working yet, that's why I posted here. :) Judging
from the way the CAS signal looks I would guess that it's mag pickup
or something. A pulse is created every crankshaft rotation figure
7000RPM ~= 117hz. I'm reluctant to do the A/D method because my
sample periods will be pretty short and I think doing it with assured
accuracy is pretty much the input capture method. I'll give it a try
if/when I rule out the input capture. Input capture should work, but
I can't get it to! I starting to feel like a real idiot. :)
