Hi Everyone,
I've been reading Nigel's tutorial and I now understand how to operate the hardware PWM in the PIC that I wish to use (18F2431).
My question is, once I set all the required registers for hardware PWM, does that continue to use processor cycles like a software pwm? ... I'm not sure I'm being very clear, but what I mean is, if I am reading a keypad and displaying to an LCD as well, will this disrupt the operation of the pwm?
I have a couple of days off before I start my university exam revision for the semester so I thought I'd "restart" the project again... As a result, I'm sure I'll have a few more questions, it might be relatively obvious but I've never used a PIC before... I don't know whether this was a good project to start with, I thought the hardware PWM would simplify my life, but it seems to have complicated it for the moment...
Thank you,
EroSennin.
