PWM Blinky
|
|
##########
|
|
|
|
Overview
|
|
********
|
|
|
|
This application blinks a LED using the :ref:`PWM API <pwm_api>`. See
|
|
:ref:`blinky-sample` for a GPIO-based sample.
|
|
|
|
The LED starts blinking at a 1 Hz frequency. The frequency doubles every 4
|
|
seconds until it reaches 128 Hz. The frequency will then be halved every 4
|
|
seconds until it returns to 1 Hz, completing a single blinking cycle. This
|
|
faster-then-slower blinking cycle then repeats forever.
|
|
|
|
Some PWM hardware cannot set the PWM period to 1 second to achieve the blinking
|
|
frequency of 1 Hz. This sample calibrates itself to what the hardware supports
|
|
at startup. The maximum PWM period is decreased appropriately until a value
|
|
supported by the hardware is found.
|
|
|
|
Requirements
|
|
************
|
|
|
|
The board must have an LED connected to a PWM output channel. The PWM
|
|
controlling this LED must be configured using the ``pwm_led0`` :ref:`devicetree
|
|
<dt-guide>` alias, usually in the :ref:`BOARD.dts file
|
|
<devicetree-in-out-files>`.
|
|
|
|
Wiring
|
|
******
|
|
|
|
No additional wiring is necessary if ``pwm_led0`` refers to hardware that is
|
|
already connected to an LED on the board.
|
|
|
|
In these other cases, however, manual wiring is necessary:

Building and Running
|
|
********************
|
|
|
|
To build and flash this sample for the :ref:`nrf52840dk_nrf52840`:
|
|
|
|
.. zephyr-app-commands::
|
|
:zephyr-app: samples/basic/blinky_pwm
|
|
:board: nrf52840dk_nrf52840
|
|
:goals: build flash
|
|
:compact:
|
|
|
|
Change ``nrf52840dk_nrf52840`` appropriately for other supported boards.
|
|
|
|
After flashing, the sample starts blinking the LED as described above. It also
|
|
prints information to the board's console.
