QG8 Timer problem

Kaare — Mon, 18 Dec 2006 21:58:03 GMT

Greetings all

Task:
Use the timer module to create a series of pulses with predefined length.

My solution:
Setup the timer module as edge-aligned PWM and set teh proper frequency and duty cycle. Then activate output compare interrupt and count the number of output compares until the desired pulses has been met. Then set the duty cycle to zero to stop the pulses.

;*******************************************************************************
Code implementation #1:
This code almost works. If i set PulseCount = 10, then the first two output compares happens right after each other, so theres no pulse to be measured on the output. The final 8 pulses gets transmitted just fine.

I've tried resetting the main counter in the PushUpBtn and PushDwnBtn with no change in behaviour.

;*******************************************************************************

;*******************************************************************************
Code implementation #2:
This code won't work at all. The output compare interrupt triggers fine, but the output stage on the pins never change. I can't figure out why this happens?

;*******************************************************************************

In both code implementations the vector table looks like this:

ORG $FFF2
dc.w isrTPMCH1
dc.w isrTPMCH0

Anyone got some ideas how to get the timer module to send out 10 well-defined pulses if i set PulseCount = 10?

Perhaps I missed it, but I can't find anywhere in your code examples where the TPM interrupts are enabled. The code lines,

====> mov #$28,TPMC1SC ; Enable output compare interrupt, edge-PWM
====> mov #$28,TPMC0SC

will not enable interrupts. Bit #6 is the interrupt enable bit.

The following lines will enable interrupts:

====> mov #$68,TPMC1SC ; CH0 - This sets the interrupt enable bit
====> mov #$68,TPMC0SC ; CH1 - This sets the interrupt enable bit
