ESP32 LED PWM fade not working?
Not sure if this belongs more in an electronics SE, but I'll give this a try.
I'm trying to use an ESP32-C3 and an NPN transistor (2N5551) to PWM drive an LED (values below). I'm trying a simple fade, ...

Problem with ATTiny85 sketch to start and stop firing a camera on a PWM signal from RC receiver
I am trying to start a camera firing at a fixed interval on a long servo pulse, stop it firing on the next long pulse, start it again on the next long pulse, etc. I use an interrupt to detect if the ...

Translating PIC PWM settings to ATMega328P
I'm trying to get some C code that runs on a PIC18F, working on an Arduino '328P. It uses an 8-bit timer, PWM, and a LUT to generate sine waves. I hope to get it going using Timer2 on a Nano.
The PIC ...

Does changing the prescale for Timer 0 or Timer 2 affect the micros() function?
I am using an ATTiny88 to drive a PWM device. First of all, digging through the literature, it's hard to tell what the differences between the ATTiny85 and ATTiny88 are, and the vast majority of ...

I need two (25 and 30 kHz) pwm output on a nano
How do I create a second output with a different frequency?
void setup() {
const byte DRIVEa = 3; // Timer 2 "B" output: OC2B
pinMode (DRIVEa, OUTPUT); // driver a.
TCCR2A = _BV (...

Does an ISR pause PWM?
I have a Nano producing a PWM output from one of its pins. This PWM signal cannot stop as it drives a filament for a VFD display(if it stops, nothing shows). However, I need to capture the pulses from ...

Translating analogWrite() into PWM duty cycle formula
We can use the function analogWrite(int x) for digital pins which support PWM because any microcontroller has a built in PWM generator.For given x and for Arduino Uno which is the formula to calculate ...

What prescaler to use for finer control?
I'm using a UNO to generate a 10 kHz PWM signal. I need finer duty cycle variation.
The prescalers supported are 1, 8, 32, and 64.
void setup()
{
pinMode(3,OUTPUT);
TCCR2A = bit (WGM20) | bit (...

I need a 10KHZ PWM signal from pin 3 and 11 using timer 2
The op of pin 11 should be inverse of pin 3. I used digitalreadfast and digitalwritefast and used simple if else. But the delay is high as 10us. What should i do?
I found this code in forum but its ...

How to output two PWM signals, one of 50% duty cycle, the other 25% duty cycle, from an Arduino Uno?
I need to output two PWM signals, one of 50% duty cycle, the other 25% duty cycle, from an Arduino. Feed both signals into the 2 channels of a PicoScope and measure:
a) the time difference between the ...
