Hi,

I have tried some examples which i found in the search, but I still can't understand how to fade a led Sad I used a short code which just blinked the led

Code:
'$regfile = "m8def.dat"
'$crystal = 4000000

Dim A As Word
Dim B As Word
Config Timer1 = Pwm , Pwm = 8 , Compare A Pwm = Clear Up , Compare B Pwm = Clear Down , Prescale = 8
Config Pinb.1 = Output

Do

For A = 255 To 0 Step -1
Pwm1a = A
Waitms 100
Next


For A = 0 To 255
Pwm1a = A
'Waitms 100
Next

Loop
End


 


I tried to change all the values but couldn't get the result I want

I want to fade the led in and out

Can someone post an example code which will fade the led in and out slowly?

I would be very grateful.

This code worked with attiny2313.
Code:

'''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''
'PWM.bas
'
'8-bit PWM
'Voltage on pin OC1A changes slowly from 0 to 5V and back.

'''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''

'$sim
$regfile = "Attiny2313.DAT"
$crystal = 10000000
Config Timer1 = Pwm , Pwm = 8 , Prescale = 1 , Compare A Pwm = Clear Up

Config Portb.3 = Output   'OC1A pin  (Portb.1 for Atmega8)

'''''''''''''''''''''''''''' MAIN ''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''
Defbyte B

 Do
   For B = 1 To 255
   Pwm1a = B
   Waitms 20
   Next

   For B = 255 To 1 Step -1
   Pwm1a = B
   Waitms 20
   Next
 Loop

'''''''''''''''''''''''''''' ENDMAIN ''''''''''''''''''''''''''
 End

You can try removing the "Compare B Pwm = Clear Down" part of the timer config, and only set up Compare A. The Compare B might be confusing things. Also check that you are using the right oscillator fuses and that $crystal is set correctly (you appear to have it commented out).

Here's my code (a bit more complicated that your example!) for a simple R-G-B colour cycler on a tiny45:
Code:
' BASCOM version of Elektor TinyRGB LED flasher
' Using 8MHz int RC osc

' RED = OC0A = PORTB.0 = PIN5
' GRN = OC0B = PORTB.1 = PIN6
' BLU = OC1B = PORTB.4 = PIN3

$regfile = "ATtiny45.DAT"
$crystal = 8000000

$hwstack = 16
$swstack = 16
$framesize = 24

'speed is number of ms to wait between pwm updates
const speed = 40

dim i as byte
dim table(100) as byte

red_led alias PORTB.0
green_led alias PORTB.1
blue_led alias PORTB.4

red_pwm alias pwm0a
green_pwm alias pwm0b
blue_pwm alias ocr1b

reset red_led
reset green_led
reset blue_led

Config Pinb.0 = Output
Config Pinb.1 = Output
Config Pinb.4 = Output

'set up PWM on OC0A, OC0B, OC1B at approx 250Hz
Config Timer0 = Pwm , Prescale = 64 , Compare A Pwm = Clear up , Compare B Pwm = Clear up
set wgm01                                                   'change mode to fast pwm

'config Timer1 (can't use "config timer1"), PWM, prescale=64
tccr1 = &B0000_0111                                         'disable OCR1A, set prescale=64
gtccr = &B0110_0000                                         'PWM mode for OCR1B, clear OC1B on match
'ocr1c = 255                                                 'full count range

'load pwm lookup table
restore pwm_table
for i = 1 to 99
   read table(i)
next i

'set pwm's to initial state
red_pwm = table(1)
green_pwm = table(1)
blue_pwm = table(1)


'ramp up red
for i = 1 to 99
   red_pwm = table(i)
   waitms speed
next i

'plain cycle R -> R+G -> G -> G+B -> B -> B+R -> repeat
do
   'ramp up green
   for i = 1 to 99
      green_pwm = table(i)
      waitms speed
   next i

   'ramp down red
   for i = 99 to 1 step -1
      red_pwm = table(i)
      waitms speed
   next i

   'ramp up blue
   for i = 1 to 99
      blue_pwm = table(i)
      waitms speed
   next i

   'ramp down green
   for i = 99 to 1 step -1
      green_pwm = table(i)
      waitms speed
   next i

   'ramp up red
   for i = 1 to 99
      red_pwm = table(i)
      waitms speed
   next i

   'ramp down blue
   for i = 99 to 1 step -1
      blue_pwm = table(i)
      waitms speed
   next i
loop

'look-up table to provide semi-log output from linear ramp (gives better apparent brightness than linear duty cycle ramp)
'99 entries in lookup table

PS well, well - how's that? Two examples within a few minutes of each other!

Hi,

Thanks for your answers. I have examined Visovian code, and got everything. mattacro I have looked at your code, but I don't have bigger chip than tiny2313 at the moment. I can't understand how to use more pwm channels?

Code:
'$sim
$regfile = "Attiny2313.DAT"
$crystal = 4000000
$baud = 9600
Config Timer1 = Pwm , Pwm = 8 , Prescale = 64 , Compare A Pwm = Clear Up

Config Portb.3 = Output                                     'OC1A pin  (Portb.1 for Atmega8)
Config Portb.0 = Output                                     'OC0A pin


I have tryed like this, but the led don't want to work. What I need to add to use other pwm outputs?

Thanks.

Did you get Visovian's code working ok?

The tiny45 is actually a smaller chip (8 pins) but it has 3 PWM channels, using timer0 and timer1 (both 8bit).

The tiny2313 has 4 PWM channels - 2 on timer0 (8bit) and 2 on timer1 (16bit). You must configure both timers for PWM mode and all the PWM channels as outputs. Then you can write the duty cycle values to OCR0A, OCR0B, Pwm1a and Pwm1b.

The timers can be configured something like this, I think:
Code:
Config Timer0 = Pwm , Prescale = 8 , Compare A Pwm = Clear up , Compare B Pwm = Clear up
Config Timer1 = Pwm , Pwm = 8 , Prescale = 8 , Compare A Pwm = Clear up , Compare B Pwm = Clear up

Maybe a complete code would help?
Code:

'PWM.bas
'
'8-bit PWM (2-channel)
'Voltage on pins OC1A and OC1B changes slowly from 0 to 5V and back.

$crystal = 10000000
Config Timer1 = Pwm , Pwm = 8 , Prescale = 1 , Compare A Pwm = Clear Up , Compare B Pwm = Clear Up

Config Portb.3 = Output                 'OC1A pin  (Portb.1 for Atmega8)
Config Portb.4 = Output                 'OC1B pin


'''''''''''''''''''''''''''' MAIN ''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''
Defbyte B

 Do
   For B = 1 To 255
   Pwm1a = B                            'set duty cycle OC1A pin
   Pwm1b = 256 - B                      'set duty cycle OC1B pin
   Waitms 20
   Next

   For B = 255 To 1 Step -1
   Pwm1a = B
   Pwm1b = 256 - B
   Waitms 20
   Next
