Attaching a Servo motor to the EasyLab
From ErikaWiki
Currently the PWM Block for the EasyLab board has a limited support in frequencies, making it impossible to have the 50Hz PWM needed to control a servo.
As a workaround, it is possible to do the following (hint provided by Chin Luh from Tritytech):
- hardcode the 50 in easylab_pwm.c
- change P1TCONbits.PTCKPS = 0b11; and EE_UINT16 ptper = EE_get_peripheral_clock() / pwm_freq / 64; in ee_pwm.c.
- resulting input vs. degree:
- 0.025 : 0 degree
- 0.0725 : 90 degree
- 0.12 : 180 degree
