Why do we need this SAMDUE_PWM library

Features

This hardware-based PWM library enables you to use Hardware-PWM on SAM_DUE boards to create and output PWM. These purely hardware-based PWM channels can generate very high PWM frequencies, depending on CPU clock and acceptable accuracy. The maximum resolution is only 8-bit resolution.

This library is based on analogWrite() function in wiring_analog.c of Arduino SAM_DUE core, to enable dynamic frequencies and dutycycles.

This library is using the same or similar functions as other FastPWM libraries, as follows, to enable you to port your PWM code easily between platforms

  1. RP2040_PWM
  2. AVR_PWM
  3. megaAVR_PWM
  4. ESP32_FastPWM
  5. SAMD_PWM
  6. SAMDUE_PWM
  7. nRF52_PWM
  8. Teensy_PWM
  9. ATtiny_PWM
  10. Dx_PWM
  11. Portenta_H7_PWM
  12. MBED_RP2040_PWM
  13. nRF52_MBED_PWM
  14. STM32_PWM

The most important feature is they're purely hardware-based PWM channels. Therefore, their operations are not blocked by bad-behaving software functions / tasks.

This important feature is absolutely necessary for mission-critical tasks. These hardware PWM-channels, still work even if other software functions are blocking. Moreover, they are much more precise (certainly depending on clock frequency accuracy) than other software timers using millis() or micros(). That's necessary if you need to control external systems (Servo, etc.) requiring better accuracy.

New efficient setPWM_manual() function enables waveform creation using PWM.

The PWM_Multi example will demonstrate the usage of multichannel PWM using multiple Hardware-PWM blocks (Timer & Channel). The 4 independent Hardware-PWM channels are used to control 4 different PWM outputs, with totally independent frequencies and dutycycles on SAM_DUE.

Being hardware-based PWM, their executions are not blocked by bad-behaving functions / tasks, such as connecting to WiFi, Internet or Blynk services.

This non-being-blocked important feature is absolutely necessary for mission-critical tasks.

Why using hardware-based PWM is better

Imagine you have a system with a mission-critical function, controlling a robot or doing something much more important. You normally use a software timer to poll, or even place the function in loop(). But what if another function is blocking the loop() or setup().

So your function might not be executed, and the result would be disastrous.

You'd prefer to have your function called, no matter what happening with other functions (busy loop, bug, etc.).

The correct choice is to use hardware-based PWM.

These hardware-based PWM channels still work even if other software functions are blocking. Moreover, they are much more precise (certainly depending on clock frequency accuracy) than other software-based PWMs, using millis() or micros().

Functions using normal software-based PWMs, relying on loop() and calling millis(), won't work if the loop() or setup() is blocked by certain operation. For example, certain function is blocking while it's connecting to WiFi or some services.

Currently supported Boards

  1. SAM_DUE boards, using Arduino SAM core

Prerequisites

  1. Arduino IDE 1.8.19+ for Arduino. GitHub release
  2. Arduino SAM core v1.6.12+

Installation

Use Arduino Library Manager

The best and easiest way is to use Arduino Library Manager. Search for SAMDUE_PWM, then select / install the latest version. You can also use this link arduino-library-badge for more detailed instructions.

Manual Install

Another way to install is to:

  1. Navigate to SAMDUE_PWM page.
  2. Download the latest release SAMDUE_PWM-main.zip.
  3. Extract the zip file to SAMDUE_PWM-main directory
  4. Copy whole SAMDUE_PWM-main folder to Arduino libraries' directory such as ~/Arduino/libraries/.

VS Code & PlatformIO

  1. Install VS Code
  2. Install PlatformIO
  3. Install SAMDUE_PWM library by using Library Manager. Search for SAMDUE_PWM in Platform.io Author's Libraries
  4. Use included platformio.ini file from examples to ensure that all dependent libraries will installed automatically. Please visit documentation for the other options and examples at Project Configuration File

Usage

Before using any PWM Timer and channel, you have to make sure the Timer and channel has not been used by any other purpose.

// SAM_DUE:
// PWM pins: 6, 7, 8, 9
// Timer pins: 2-5, 10-13. 
// pin2:   TC0_CHA0, pin3:  TC2_CHA7, pin4:  TC2_CHB6, pin5:  TC2_CHA6
// pin 10: TC2_CHB7, pin11: TC2_CHA8, pin12: TC2_CHB8, pin13: TC0_CHB0

1. Create PWM Instance with Pin, Frequency, dutycycle

SAMDUE_PWM* PWM_Instance;

PWM_Instance = new SAMDUE_PWM(pinToUse, frequency, dutyCycle, channel, PWM_resolution);

2. Initialize PWM Instance

if (PWM_Instance)
{
  PWM_Instance->setPWM();
}

3. Set or change PWM frequency or dutyCycle

To use float new_dutyCycle

PWM_Instance->setPWM(PWM_Pins, new_frequency, new_dutyCycle);

such as

dutyCycle = 10.0f;
  
Serial.print(F("Change PWM DutyCycle to ")); Serial.println(dutyCycle);
PWM_Instance->setPWM(pinToUse, frequency, dutyCycle);

To use uint32_t new_dutyCycle = (real_dutyCycle * 65536) / 100

PWM_Instance->setPWM_Int(PWM_Pins, new_frequency, new_dutyCycle);

such as for real_dutyCycle = 50%

// 50% dutyCycle = (real_dutyCycle * 65536) / 100
dutyCycle = 32768;

Serial.print(F("Change PWM DutyCycle to (%) "));
Serial.println((float) dutyCycle * 100 / 65536);
PWM_Instance->setPWM_Int(pinToUse, frequency, dutyCycle);

for real_dutyCycle = 50%

// 20% dutyCycle = (real_dutyCycle * 65536) / 100
dutyCycle = 13107;

Serial.print(F("Change PWM DutyCycle to (%) "));
Serial.println((float) dutyCycle * 100 / 65536);
PWM_Instance->setPWM_Int(pinToUse, frequency, dutyCycle);

4. Set or change PWM frequency and dutyCycle manually and efficiently in waveform creation

Function prototype

bool setPWM_manual(const uint8_t& pin, const uint16_t& DCValue);

Need to call only once for each pin

PWM_Instance->setPWM(PWM_Pins, frequency, dutyCycle);

after that, if just changing dutyCycle / level, use

PWM_Instance->setPWM_manual(PWM_Pins, new_level);

Examples:

  1. PWM_Basic
  2. PWM_DynamicDutyCycle
  3. PWM_DynamicDutyCycle_Int
  4. PWM_DynamicFreq
  5. PWM_Multi
  6. PWM_MultiChannel
  7. PWM_Waveform

5. PWM_Waveform using Timer on SAM_DUE

The following is the sample terminal output when running example PWM_Waveform on SAM_DUE, to demonstrate how to use the setPWM_manual() function in wafeform creation using Timer for PWM

Debug

Debug is enabled by default on Serial.

You can also change the debugging level _PWM_LOGLEVEL_ from 0 to 4

// Don't define _PWM_LOGLEVEL_ > 0. Only for special ISR debugging only. Can hang the system.
#define _PWM_LOGLEVEL_     0

Troubleshooting

If you get compilation errors, more often than not, you may need to install a newer version of the core for Arduino boards.

Sometimes, the library will only work if you update the board core to the latest version because I am using newly added functions.

About

This library, a wrapper around SAM DUE analogWrite() function, enables you to use Hardware-based PWM channels on SAM_DUE boards to create and output PWM to pins. Using similar functions as some other FastPWM libraries, it enables you to port PWM code easily between platforms
