Why do we need this SAMD_PWM library

Features

This hardware-based PWM library enables you to use Hardware-PWM on SAMD21/SAMD51 boards such as NANO_33_IOT, ITSYBITSY_M4, SEEED_XIAO_M0, SparkFun SAMD51_Thing_Plus, etc., to create and output PWM. These purely hardware-based PWM channels can generate very high PWM frequencies, depending on CPU clock and acceptable accuracy. The maximum resolution can be 16-bit for better accuracy when using Timer TCCx. With Timer TCx, only 8-bit resolution is supported with lower accuracy.

This library is using the same or similar functions as other FastPWM sibling libraries, as follows, to enable you to port your PWM code easily between platforms

The most important feature is they’re purely hardware-based PWM channels. Therefore, their operations are not blocked by bad-behaving software functions / tasks.

This important feature is absolutely necessary for mission-critical tasks. These hardware PWM-channels, still work even if other software functions are blocking. Moreover, they are much more precise (certainly depending on clock frequency accuracy) than other software timers using millis() or micros(). That’s necessary if you need to control external systems (Servo, etc.) requiring better accuracy.

New efficient setPWM_manual() function enables waveform creation using PWM.

The PWM_Multi example will demonstrate the usage of multichannel PWM using multiple Hardware-PWM blocks (Timer & Channel). The 4 independent Hardware-PWM channels are used to control 4 different PWM outputs, with totally independent frequencies and dutycycles on SAMD21/SAMD51.

Being hardware-based PWM, their executions are not blocked by bad-behaving functions / tasks, such as connecting to WiFi, Internet or Blynk services.

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

Why using hardware-based PWM is better

Imagine you have a system with a mission-critical function, controlling a robot 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 hardware-based PWM.

These hardware-based PWM channels still work even if other software functions are blocking. Moreover, they are much more precise (certainly depending on clock frequency accuracy) than other software-based PWMs, using millis() or micros().

Functions using normal software-based PWMs, 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.

Packages’ Patches

1. For Arduino SAMD boards

To be able to compile without error and automatically detect and display BOARD_NAME on Arduino SAMD (Nano-33-IoT, etc) boards, you have to copy the whole Arduino SAMD Packages_Patches directory into Arduino SAMD directory (~/.arduino15/packages/arduino/hardware/samd/1.8.13).

For core version v1.8.10+

Supposing the Arduino SAMD version is 1.8.13. Now only one file must be copied into the directory:

~/.arduino15/packages/arduino/hardware/samd/1.8.13/platform.txt

Whenever a new version is installed, remember to copy this files into the new version directory. For example, new version is x.yy.zz

This file must be copied into the directory:

~/.arduino15/packages/arduino/hardware/samd/x.yy.zz/platform.txt

For core version v1.8.9-

Supposing the Arduino SAMD version is 1.8.9. These files must be copied into the directory:

~/.arduino15/packages/arduino/hardware/samd/1.8.9/platform.txt
~/.arduino15/packages/arduino/hardware/samd/1.8.9/cores/arduino/Arduino.h

Whenever a new version is installed, remember to copy these files into the new version directory. For example, new version is x.yy.z

These files must be copied into the directory:

~/.arduino15/packages/arduino/hardware/samd/x.yy.z/platform.txt
~/.arduino15/packages/arduino/hardware/samd/x.yy.z/cores/arduino/Arduino.h

This is mandatory to fix the notorious Arduino SAMD compiler error. See Improve Arduino compatibility with the STL (min and max macro)

 ...\arm-none-eabi\include\c++\7.2.1\bits\stl_algobase.h:243:56: error: macro "min" passed 3 arguments, but takes just 2
     min(const _Tp& __a, const _Tp& __b, _Compare __comp)

Whenever the above-mentioned compiler error issue is fixed with the new Arduino SAMD release, you don’t need to copy the Arduino.h file anymore.

2. For Adafruit SAMD boards

To be able to compile without error and automatically detect and display BOARD_NAME on Adafruit SAMD (Itsy-Bitsy M4, etc) boards, you have to copy the files in Adafruit SAMD Packages_Patches into Adafruit samd directory (~/.arduino15/packages/adafruit/hardware/samd/1.7.11).

Supposing the Adafruit SAMD core version is 1.7.11. This file must be copied into the directory:

~/.arduino15/packages/adafruit/hardware/samd/1.7.11/platform.txt
~/.arduino15/packages/adafruit/hardware/samd/1.7.11/cores/arduino/Print.h
~/.arduino15/packages/adafruit/hardware/samd/1.7.11/cores/arduino/Print.cpp

Whenever a new version is installed, remember to copy this file into the new version directory. For example, new version is x.yy.zz This file must be copied into the directory:

~/.arduino15/packages/adafruit/hardware/samd/x.yy.zz/platform.txt
~/.arduino15/packages/adafruit/hardware/samd/x.yy.zz/cores/arduino/Print.h
~/.arduino15/packages/adafruit/hardware/samd/x.yy.zz/cores/arduino/Print.cpp

To be able to compile without error and automatically detect and display BOARD_NAME on Seeeduino SAMD (XIAO M0, Wio Terminal, etc) boards, you have to copy the files in Seeeduino SAMD Packages_Patches into Seeeduino samd directory (~/.arduino15/packages/Seeeduino/hardware/samd/1.8.3).

Supposing the Seeeduino SAMD core version is 1.8.3. This file must be copied into the directory:

~/.arduino15/packages/Seeeduino/hardware/samd/1.8.3/platform.txt
~/.arduino15/packages/Seeeduino/hardware/samd/1.8.3/cores/arduino/Arduino.h
~/.arduino15/packages/Seeeduino/hardware/samd/1.8.3/cores/arduino/Print.h
~/.arduino15/packages/Seeeduino/hardware/samd/1.8.3/cores/arduino/Print.cpp

Whenever a new version is installed, remember to copy this file into the new version directory. For example, new version is x.yy.zz This file must be copied into the directory:

~/.arduino15/packages/Seeeduino/hardware/samd/x.yy.zz/platform.txt

Usage

Before using any PWM Timer and channel, you have to make sure the Timer and channel has not been used by any other purpose.

// Not OK for Nano_33_IoT (0, 1, 7, 8, 13, 14, 15 )
// OK for Nano_33_IoT (2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 9, 10, 11, 12, 16, 17)
// TCC OK => pin 4, 5, 6, 8, 9, 10, 11, 16/A2, 17/A3
// TC OK  => pin 12
// For ITSYBITSY_M4 
// 16-bit Higher accuracy, Lower Frequency, PWM Pin OK: TCCx: 0-2, 4, 5, 7, 9-13
//  8-bit Lower  accuracy, Hi Frequency,    PWM Pin OK: TCx: 18-20, 24-25

1. Create PWM Instance with Pin, Frequency, dutycycle, channel (default = 0) and PWM_resolution (default = 16)

SAMD_PWM* PWM_Instance;

PWM_Instance = new SAMD_PWM(pinToUse, frequency, dutyCycle, channel, PWM_resolution);

2. Initialize PWM Instance

if (PWM_Instance)
{
  PWM_Instance->setPWM();
}

3. Set or change PWM frequency or dutyCycle

To use float new_dutyCycle

PWM_Instance->setPWM(PWM_Pins, new_frequency, new_dutyCycle);

such as

dutyCycle = 10.0f;
  
Serial.print(F("Change PWM DutyCycle to ")); Serial.println(dutyCycle);
PWM_Instance->setPWM(pinToUse, frequency, dutyCycle);

To use uint32_t new_dutyCycle = (real_dutyCycle * 65536) / 100

PWM_Instance->setPWM_Int(PWM_Pins, new_frequency, new_dutyCycle);

such as for real_dutyCycle = 50%

// 50% dutyCycle = (real_dutyCycle * 65536) / 100
dutyCycle = 32768;

Serial.print(F("Change PWM DutyCycle to (%) "));
Serial.println((float) dutyCycle * 100 / 65536);
PWM_Instance->setPWM_Int(pinToUse, frequency, dutyCycle);

for real_dutyCycle = 50%

// 20% dutyCycle = (real_dutyCycle * 65536) / 100
dutyCycle = 13107;

Serial.print(F("Change PWM DutyCycle to (%) "));
Serial.println((float) dutyCycle * 100 / 65536);
PWM_Instance->setPWM_Int(pinToUse, frequency, dutyCycle);

4. Set or change PWM frequency and dutyCycle manually and efficiently in waveform creation

Function prototype

// Must have same frequency
// From v1.0.1-, DCValue = 0-100
// From v1.2.0+, DCValue = 0-65535
bool setPWM_manual(const uint8_t& pin, const uint16_t& dutyCycle);

// DCPercentage from 0.0f - 100.0f
bool setPWM_DCPercentage_manual(const uint8_t& pin, const float& DCPercentage);

// DCPercentage from 0-65535 for 0.0f - 100.0f
bool setPWM_DCPercentageInt_manual(const uint8_t& pin, const uint16_t& DCPercentage);

Need to call only once for each pin

PWM_Instance->setPWM(PWM_Pins, frequency, dutyCycle);

after that, if just changing dutyCycle / level, use the faster

// dutycycle = 0-65535 for 0-100%
// 1084 ns
PWM_Instance->setPWM_manual(pinToUse, dutycycle);

or better and much easier to use, but slowest

// 1259 ns
new_DCPercentage = 50.0f;
PWM_Instance->setPWM_DCPercentage_manual(pinToUse, new_DCPercentage);

or the fastest

// dutycyclePercent = 0-65535 == 0-100%
// 1067 ns
dutycyclePercentInt = 1 << 15;   // 50%
PWM_Instance->setPWM_DCPercentageInt_manual(pinToUse, dutycyclePercentInt);

Don’t use the extremely inefficient setPWM() for this purpose

// Very inefficient, don't use => 499251 ns, 500-time slower
//PWM_Instance->setPWM(pinToUse, frequency, dutycyclePercent);

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.

Issues

Submit issues to: SAMD_PWM issues

TO DO

Search for bug and improvement.
Similar features for remaining Arduino boards

DONE

Basic hardware PWM-channels for SAMD21/SAMD51 boards such as NANO_33_IOT, ITSYBITSY_M4, SEEED_XIAO_M0, SparkFun SAMD51_Thing_Plus, etc. using

Add example PWM_StepperControl to demo how to control Stepper Motor using PWM
Add example PWM_manual to demo how to correctly use PWM to generate waveform
Add function setPWM_DCPercentage_manual() to facilitate the setting PWM DC manually by using DCPercentage, instead of absolute DCValue depending on varying PWMPeriod
Optimize speed with new setPWM_DCPercentageInt_manual function to improve speed almost 500 times compared to setPWM
Add example PWM_SpeedTest to demo the better speed of new setPWM_DCPercentageInt_manual function
Breaking change: Modify setPWM_manual function to take 16-bit dutycycle instead from merely 0-100 for better accuracy
Modify example PWM_Waveform to adapt to breaking change of setPWM_manual function
Improve README.md so that links can be used in other sites, such as PIO
