Pwm Class Reference

Detailed Description

This file defines the PWM interface for libmraa

    mraa::Pwm* pwm;

    pwm = new mraa::Pwm(3);
    if (pwm == NULL) {
        return MRAA_ERROR_UNSPECIFIED;
    }
    fprintf(stdout, "Cycling PWM on IO3 (pwm3) \n");
    pwm->enable(true);

    float value = 0.0f;
    while (running == 0) {
        value = value + 0.01f;
        pwm->write(value);
        usleep(50000);
        if (value >= 1.0f) {
            value = 0.0f;
        }
    }
    delete pwm;

Constructor & Destructor Documentation

Pwm ( int  pin, bool  owner = true, int  chipid = -1  )

inline

instanciates a PWM object on a pin

Parameters

pin	the pin number used on your board
owner	if you are the owner of the pin the destructor will
chipid	the pwmchip to use, use only in raw mode unexport the pin from sysfs, default behaviour is you are the owner if the pinmapper exported it

Member Function Documentation

mraa_result_t write ( float  percentage )

inline

Set the output duty-cycle percentage, as a float

Parameters

percentage

A floating-point value representing percentage of output. The value should lie between 0.0f (representing on 0%) and 1.0f Values above or below this range will be set at either 0.0f or 1.0f

Returns

Result of operation

Here is the call graph for this function:

float read ( )

inline

Read the ouput duty-cycle percentage, as a float

Returns

A floating-point value representing percentage of output. The value should lie between 0.0f (representing on 0%) and 1.0f Values above or below this range will be set at either 0.0f or 1.0f
