PWM output not matching schedule
Posted: Sat Jan 14, 2012 10:46 pm
Hi All-
This is really the first major operating code I am trying to load and it has the cloud feature in it. I have changed things to match my setup which is.
Channel 0 PWM output Rightside NW
Channel 1 PWM ouput Rightside RB
Channel 2 PWM output Leftside NW
Channel 3 PWM output Rightside RB
I have the following as my PDE, in entirety. It loads fine and when I run it I get at 10:45 pm only the left side NW lights on low and PWM output voltage at all terminals is as follows.
PWM 0= 0V
1=0V
2=3.3V
3=0V
The pde is here in its entirety. When I use a RaGEN pde FOR pwm CONTROL I get accurate dimming control over all 4 modules, the whites drop at about 23 % to flicker the Blues about 10% to flicker. So I know that my PWM controller can output all range voltage to all channels...
Oh... the controller knows the correct time if your wondering.
Also... screwing around with this a little bit I had just the left side blues on, but none of the other lights on. When I set it to run lights to 11:50 pm i.e. 23,50 everywhere and reload...
only the left side RB and NW string power on... at 4.97 V each... which is channel 2 and 3 so what happened to 0 and 1???????????
Can you help tell me why... I think the code looks ok in terms of definig the on off times but I am not absolutely certain, but I think its right. Also, this would be inconsistent with the behavior I am seeing, both NW strings are set the same for me in sunrise sunet table but only L side lights....
or none of hte right side seems to work...
channel 0 1 seems to not output no matter what I do to the inputs but I have made them the same as whats working for chanel 2 3 and that does not fix it so I am kinda lost.
