Hi all,
I am trying to control a common rc servo with launchpad. I am using timer for pwm signals. But my code doesn't work. I am stuck. Basic codes from ti tutorials don't work either.
My servo is : SM-s3317s
I power it with arduino uno (5V and GND) also connect the control wire to launchpad (p1.2) . I checked the servo with arduino, it doesnt have any problem.
I tried to adjust pwm period to 20 ms and also tried to have high pulses between duration of 1ms-2ms as it is seen in the code.
my mcu is : g2553
Here is my code :
#include <msp430g2553.h>
#define SERVO_BIT BIT2
#define SM_clk 1100000
#define servo_freq 50
int i;
void init()
{
int PWM_period = SM_clk /servo_freq;
P1DIR |= SERVO_BIT; //direction is set
P1SEL |= SERVO_BIT;// port 1 function is set.
TA0CCR0 = PWM_period-1; // pwm period
TA0CCR1 = 0; //duty cycle = TA0CCR0/ TA0CCR1
TA0CCTL1 = OUTMOD_7;
}
int main(void) {
WDTCTL = WDTPW | WDTHOLD; // Stop watchdog timer
init();
TA0CTL=TASSEL_2+MC_1; // starting timer by setting clock source SMCLK of timer and UP mode
while(1){
TA0CCR1 = 1100;
__delay_cycles(1000000);
TA0CCR1 = 1300;
__delay_cycles(1000000);
TA0CCR1 = 1500;
__delay_cycles(1000000);
TA0CCR1 = 1800;
__delay_cycles(1000000);
TA0CCR1 = 2200;
__delay_cycles(1000000);
}
return 0;
}
Does anyone have any suggestions??Is there something i did wrong??
Thanks for your time and answers!!
