Sinusoidal pulse width modulation (SPWM). I`ve discussed about how to generate the sine table, how to implement it, how to practically generate the SPWM signals (with example code) and also how to implement feedback with simple sine table manipulation with table pointer instead of complex PID control. All these methods have one thing in common regarding the implementation - use of the sine table and

its control with the table pointer. Whether you use or implement feedback or not, the table pointer is used to access and retrieve values from the sine table. It took quite a while for me to understand exactly how the table pointer works in this case to retrieve data from the sine table and feed it to the PWM module and generate the required output 50Hz frequency (you can use any frequency but my requirement is 50Hz). I had come across the method and its explanation when coding for the dsPIC33 microcontroller while I was attempting to make a sine wave inverter using the dsPIC33. After a lot of research and thinking, I could finally implement it for PIC16. While many have seen my posted codes and explanations regarding sinusoidal pulse width modulation (SPWM), some people have requested me to explain how the table pointer in the interrupt works. Remembering my difficult experience with this, I decided to write up this article to help all of you who are struggling with this to help clear your doubts and make you understand exactly how it works so that one can implement SPWM with a sine table with any number of table values and for any desired output frequency. Let`s take a look at the code line by line. And I`ll explain it all. Keep in mind that the target microcontroller is a PIC16F684 running off an oscillator frequency of 16MHz. So, if you`re attempting to port the code to any other microcontroller keep in mind that the...
This project fits more for custom made battery casing that can have more space to hide things inside. This switch with few alterations can be used for any other project as well but is designed based on e-bike needs! This project use a clever functionality of....
The circuit described here uses ultrasonic oscillations and operates based on the propagation velocity of these oscillations in the air. Thus, we can easily determine the distance of two points if the time within which the wave travels this distance is....
Sometimes the precious metals are hidden too deep and are not detected except with complicated devices. In many cases, however, small pieces of precious metal buried near the surface can be detected by relatively simple means. Everyone is very attractive to....
Many times for various reasons we forget or can not water the plants that we have in our homes. And many humidity sensors units just notify us with a beeping sound or with a flashing light, that the pot needs watering. But what if we are away from home? This....
The principle behind a metal detector is really very simple. Proof of this is the circuit that follows, in which it proves that the construction of a metal detector can be done in the minute, with few components that we find very easily everywhere. With the....
The sub-harmonic bass generator is a sound producing unit for guitars. The sound it produces looks very much like that of the bass guitar. The octave generator is sometimes quite unusual since it does not produce any of the usual ways of coloring the sound,....
In the past the sounding (sea bottom measurement) was done with the "bullet", that is, with a heavy lead object that the seamen plucked into the sea hung from a calibrated rope. As soon as the "bullet" reached the bottom, the depth appeared directly from the....
This Amplifier was designed to have the following specifications: Distortion less than 0.1% at full power of 100W even at 20KHz. Power has to be attributed to an extended bandwidth. The output transistors must be protected against short circuits. The power....
A series of LEDs serve to alert the gardener when plants need water. Using two conventional digital integrated LEDs and a series of LEDs, we make a very useful device for gardening. The device detects the amount of water in the pot and alerts the grower.....
