/******************************************************************** * Description: pwmgen.c * A HAL component that generates Pulse Width and * Pulse Density Modulation * * Author: John Kasunich * License: GPL Version 2 * * Copyright (c) 2006 All rights reserved. * * Last change: ********************************************************************/ /** This file, 'pwmgen.c', is a HAL component that generates Pulse Width Modulation or Pulse Density Modulation signals in software. Since the timing granularity of a software based scheme is rather large compared to a hardware, either the output frequency, or the resolution, or both, will be less than expected from hardware implementations. The driver exports two functions. 'pwmgen.make-pulses', is responsible for actually generating the PWM/PDM signals. It must be executed in a fast thread to reduce pulse jitter and improve resolution. The other function, pwmgen.update, is normally called from a much slower thread. It reads the command and sets internal variables used by 'pwm.make-pulses'. 'update' uses floating point, 'make-pulses' does not. Polarity: All signals from this module have fixed polarity (active high) If the driver needs the opposite polarity, the signals can be inverted using parameters exported by the hardware driver(s) such as ParPort. */ /** Copyright (C) 2003 John Kasunich */ /** This program is free software; you can redistribute it and/or modify it under the terms of version 2 of the GNU General Public License as published by the Free Software Foundation.
