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; }
