Christmas star redo

MrDEB · Nov 19, 2021

Decided while waiting for parts to redo the Christmas star project but using Diptrace instead of EASYEDA files.
I attempted to start where I left off but couldn't make heads or tails of what I was doing so back to Diptrace.
going with 35 LEDs and 4x resistor arrays.
Am looking at using PWM on several LEDs but the 18f43k22 shows none?
Discovered reading the data sheet that port R3 is input only.
here is my new schematic

Wrong file couldn't fine preview

OUPS! Iwhile starting the pcboard design I discoveredI need to change the connections to 3 of the resistor arrays

Not sure what that means. The 18F4xK22 has 5 hardware PWM peripherals... ECCP1, ECCP2, ECCP3, CCP4, and CCP5

On that device they come out on fixed pins: RC2, RC1/RB3, RB5/RE0, RD1, and RE2.
The pin selections for ECCP2 and ECCP3 are done using CONFIG settings.

thanks now to find my file on a candle simulation that uses PWM

Even though there are 35 LEDs, you could probably just use software PWM to get different outputs since the uC doesn't have anything else to do.

yes I thought about that as well.
I also see I have one input only pin, re3
Had to redo my posted schematic as the LEDS are jumbled up making traces go every which way. Same issue I had last year using EASYEDA.
Plus last year I had two LEDS per port but using 805 sized LEDs. Using 1202 this year.

Been searching for a "shirmming star" for my Christmas star project. I thing I found some code from 2016 that basically does a decent shimmer.
been changing and adding to get desired effect. Basically decontructing to see what makes it tick
My new boards should be here this week as well as 18f2221 chips for stars boards 2018 using a 18f2221
new boards are using 18f23k22

Code:
