5. PWM-Based Motor Control Code
#include <avr/io.h>
// Motor Control Functions -- pwm is an 8-bit value
// (i.e. ranges from 0 to 255)
void M1_forward(unsigned char pwm)
{
OCR0A = 0;
OCR0B = pwm;
}
void M1_reverse(unsigned char pwm)
{
OCR0B = 0;
OCR0A = pwm;
}
void M2_forward(unsigned char pwm)
{
OCR2A = 0;
OCR2B = pwm;
}
void M2_reverse(unsigned char pwm)
{
OCR2B = 0;
OCR2A = pwm;
}
// Motor Initialization routine -- this function must be called
// before you use any of the above functions
void motors_init()
{
// configure for inverted PWM output on motor control pins:
// set OCxx on compare match, clear on timer overflow
// Timer0 and Timer2 count up from 0 to 255
TCCR0A = TCCR2A = 0xF3;
// use the system clock/8 (=2.5 MHz) as the timer clock
TCCR0B = TCCR2B = 0x02;
// initialize all PWMs to 0% duty cycle (braking)
OCR0A = OCR0B = OCR2A = OCR2B = 0;
// set PWM pins as digital outputs (the PWM signals will not
// appear on the lines if they are digital inputs)
DDRD |= (1 << PORTD3) | (1 << PORTD5) | (1 << PORTD6);
DDRB |= (1 << PORTB3);
}
The following sample program demonstrates how these motor control functions can be used:
#define F_CPU 20000000 // system clock is 20 MHz
#include <util/delay.h> // uses F_CPU to achieve us and ms delays
// delay for time_ms milliseconds by looping
// time_ms is a two-byte value that can range from 0 - 65535
// a value of 65535 (0xFF) produces an infinite delay
void delay_ms(unsigned int time_ms)
{
// _delay_ms() comes from <util/delay.h> and can only
// delay for a max of around 13 ms when the system
// clock is 20 MHz, so we define our own longer delay
// routine based on _delay_ms()
unsigned int i;
for (i = 0; i < time_ms; i++)
_delay_ms(1);
}
int main()
{
motors_init();
M1_forward(128); // motor 1 forward at half speed
M2_reverse(25); // motor 2 reverse at 10% speed
delay_ms(2000); // delay for 2s while motors run
M1_reverse(64); // motor 1 reverse at 25% speed
M2_forward(0); // motor 2 stop/brake
// loop here forever to keep the program counter from
// running off the end of our program
while (1)
;
return 0;
