6/17/2023 0 Comments Arduino analogwrite servo example![]() ![]() ![]() Servo.write seems that works pretty the same as analogWrite, with a little conceptual difference in the modulation. Unexpected to me!! I do not know how to explain this. In a no PWM pin, 50% duty cycle is enough to let it outputs the full 5V. If I set i=127, means that half of the time (1ms in a 2ms duty cycle) the pin is "on", which, in the average, outputs 2.5V (half of 5V). After i=255, it starts again and the number 256 is equal to zero and so on. The numbers in between represent a percentage of the duty cycle in which the pin is "on" (outputs 5V). If I set 255, means that the pin outputs 5V during 2ms inside a 2ms cycle. In other words, if I set 0, means that the pin outputs 5V during zero ms inside the 2ms cycle. The value I set for i represents the width of the signal "inside" this duty cycle. Please correct me if I am wrong.ĪnalogWrite outputs some PWM signal, with fixed duty cycles (2ms in a 500hz PWM pin, 1ms in a 1khz PWM pin). As my results showed very different numbers, I did some research and I concluded the following. ![]() For i higher than 180, the output value remained 0.58V.Īt first, I was expecting 0V when the angle is 0 and 5V when the angle is 180. All output pins gave me 0.12V when i=0 and raised, step by step, up to 0.58V (when i=180).Implementing the same code in Arduino UNO, I had the same result for all output pins: For i higher than 180, the output value remained 0.58V All other output pins in the kk board gave me 0.12V when i=0 and raised, step by step, up to 0.58V (when i=180).#include Ĭonst byte outsignal = X //change X to the different pin numbers That was very unexpected!Īfter that, I wanted to know more about the Servo.write, so I begin again with the kk board with the following code. analogWrite(outsignal, 128) gives full voltage in non PWM pins. I have no idea why pins 9 and 10 do not work. People say that "The PWM pins seem to be wasted on the buttons and LCD interface." ( THE NEW KK2.1 & KK2.1.5 FC Owners Thread - RC Groups). Although the ATmega644PA (used by kk2.1.5) datasheet tell us that it has 6 PWM channels, they are not in the pins meant to be output of the kk board. For i higher than 255, the function started again from 0, reaching maximum voltage when i = 510, and so on.Ī. In PWM pins (pins 3, 5, 6, 9, 10, 11), I read, as expected, an increasing in voltage, step by step, until i = 255, where I reached the maximum voltage (5V).In no PWM pins, I read 0V in the multimeter until i is around 128, when it suddenly rised to 5V and stayed there forever.From pin 11 to pin 12, I read 0V in the multimeter until i is around 128, when it suddenly rised to 5V and stayed there forever.Īfter that, I implemented the same code in Arduino UNO and my results were:.Pins 9 and 10 gave me 0V for all values of i.From pin 5 to pin 8, I read 0V in the multimeter until i is around 128, when it suddenly rised to 5V and stayed there forever.I know the maximum value for i will be 255, but I would like to test with higher number too to see what happens. const byte outsignal = X //change X to the different pin numbers The first thing I wanted was read what values my kk board output with the analogWrite, so I did this code. I am using an USBasp cable to program and supply power to both Arduino and kk boards, as well as a breadboard and a cheap multimeter. I would like to write some words about my encounter with these functions and receive some feebacks about the conclusions.įist of all I am reading data from an Arduino UNO and from a kk2.1.5 board hacked into an Arduino (as done by Arduino on the KK2 Multicopter controller - Radio Control for Engineers, Hackers and the advanced Hobbyist). The big issue I had in the past few days was about reading values from these two functions: analogWrite and Servo.write. I am quite new to arduino and I am trying to understand some of the basics yet. ![]()
