Important Change from v1.2.0

Please have a look at HOWTO Fix Multiple Definitions Linker Error

As more complex calculation and check inside ISR are introduced from v1.2.0, there is possibly some crash depending on use-case.

You can modify to use larger HW_TIMER_INTERVAL_US, (from current 10uS), according to your board and use-case if crash happens.

// Don't change these numbers to make higher Timer freq. System can hang
#define HW_TIMER_INTERVAL_US      10L

Why do we need this nRF52_Slow_PWM library

Features

This library enables you to use ISR-based PWM channels on an nRF52-based board, such as Itsy-Bitsy nRF52840, using Adafruit nRF52 core core to create and output PWM any GPIO pin. Because this library doesn't use the powerful purely hardware-controlled PWM with many limitations, the maximum PWM frequency is currently limited at 1000Hz, which is still suitable for many real-life applications. Now you can also modify PWM settings on-the-fly.

---

This library enables you to use Interrupt from Hardware Timers on nRF52-based boards to create and output PWM to pins. It now supports 16 ISR-based synchronized PWM channels, while consuming only 1 Hardware Timer. PWM interval can be very long (uint64_t microsecs / millisecs). The most important feature is they're ISR-based PWM channels. Therefore, their executions are not blocked by bad-behaving functions or tasks. This important feature is absolutely necessary for mission-critical tasks. These hardware PWM channels, using interrupt, still work even if other functions are blocking. Moreover, they are much more precise (certainly depending on clock frequency accuracy) than other software PWM using millis() or micros(). That's necessary if you need to measure some data requiring better accuracy.

As Hardware Timers are rare, and very precious assets of any board, this library now enables you to use up to 16 ISR-based synchronized PWM channels, while consuming only 1 Hardware Timer. Timers' interval is very long (ulong millisecs).

Now with these new 16 ISR-based PWM-channels, the maximum interval is practically unlimited (limited only by unsigned long milliseconds) while the accuracy is nearly perfect compared to software PWM channels.

The most important feature is they're ISR-based PWM channels. Therefore, their executions are not blocked by bad-behaving functions / tasks. This important feature is absolutely necessary for mission-critical tasks.

The ISR_16_PWMs_Array_Complex example will demonstrate the nearly perfect accuracy, compared to software PWM, by printing the actual period / duty-cycle in microsecs of each of PWM-channels.

Being ISR-based PWM, their executions are not blocked by bad-behaving functions / tasks, such as connecting to WiFi, Internet or Blynk services. You can also have many (up to 16) PWM channels to use.

This non-being-blocked important feature is absolutely necessary for mission-critical tasks.

You'll see software-based SimpleTimer is blocked while system is connecting to WiFi / Internet / Blynk, as well as by blocking task in loop(), using delay() function as an example. The elapsed time then is very unaccurate

---

Why using ISR-based PWM is better

Imagine you have a system with a mission-critical function, measuring water level and control the sump pump or doing something much more important. You normally use a software timer to poll, or even place the function in loop(). But what if another function is blocking the loop() or setup().

So your function might not be executed, and the result would be disastrous.

You'd prefer to have your function called, no matter what happening with other functions (busy loop, bug, etc.).

The correct choice is to use a Hardware Timer with Interrupt to call your function.

These hardware PWM channels, using interrupt, still work even if other functions are blocking. Moreover, they are much more precise (certainly depending on clock frequency accuracy) than other software PWM channels using millis() or micros(). That's necessary if you need to measure some data requiring better accuracy.

Functions using normal software PWM channels, relying on loop() and calling millis(), won't work if the loop() or setup() is blocked by certain operation. For example, certain function is blocking while it's connecting to WiFi or some services.

The catch is your function is now part of an ISR (Interrupt Service Routine), and must be lean / mean, and follow certain rules. More to read on:

---

Important Notes about ISR

1. Inside the attached function, delay() won’t work and the value returned by millis() will not increment. Serial data received while in the function may be lost. You should declare as volatile any variables that you modify within the attached function.

2. Typically global variables are used to pass data between an ISR and the main program. To make sure variables shared between an ISR and the main program are updated correctly, declare them as volatile.

HOWTO Fix Multiple Definitions Linker Error

The current library implementation, using xyz-Impl.h instead of standard xyz.cpp, possibly creates certain Multiple Definitions Linker error in certain use cases.

You can include this .hpp file

// Can be included as many times as necessary, without `Multiple Definitions` Linker Error
#include "nRF52_Slow_PWM.hpp"    //https://github.com/khoih-prog/nRF52_Slow_PWM

in many files. But be sure to use the following .h file in just 1 .h, .cpp or .ino file, which must not be included in any other file, to avoid Multiple Definitions Linker Error

// To be included only in main(), .ino with setup() to avoid `Multiple Definitions` Linker Error
#include "nRF52_Slow_PWM.h"      //https://github.com/khoih-prog/nRF52_Slow_PWM

Check the new multiFileProject example for a HOWTO demo.

Have a look at the discussion in Different behaviour using the src_cpp or src_h lib #80

Usage

Before using any Timer, you have to make sure the Timer has not been used by any other purpose. Depending on the board, you can select NRF52 Hardware Timer from NRF_TIMER_1-NRF_TIMER_4 (1 to 4)

1. Init Hardware Timer

// Depending on the board, you can select NRF52 Hardware Timer from NRF_TIMER_1-NRF_TIMER_4 (1 to 4)
// If you select the already-used NRF_TIMER_0, it'll be auto modified to use NRF_TIMER_1

// Init NRF52 timer NRF_TIMER2
NRF52Timer ITimer(NRF_TIMER_2);

// Init nRF52_Slow_PWM, each can service 16 different ISR-based PWM channels
NRF52_Slow_PWM ISR_PWM;

2. Set PWM Frequency, dutycycle, attach irqCallbackStartFunc and irqCallbackStopFunc functions

void irqCallbackStartFunc()
{

}

void irqCallbackStopFunc()
{

}

void setup()
{
  ....
  
  // You can use this with PWM_Freq in Hz
  ISR_PWM.setPWM(PWM_Pin, PWM_Freq, PWM_DutyCycle, irqCallbackStartFunc, irqCallbackStopFunc);
                   
  ....                 
}

Debug

Debug is enabled by default on Serial.

You can also change the debugging level _PWM_LOGLEVEL_ from 0 to 4

// Don't define _PWM_LOGLEVEL_ > 0. Only for special ISR debugging only. Can hang the system.
#define _PWM_LOGLEVEL_     0

---

Troubleshooting

If you get compilation errors, more often than not, you may need to install a newer version of the core for Arduino boards.

Sometimes, the library will only work if you update the board core to the latest version because I am using newly added functions.
