本文會示範很輕易地便可製作一顆 PWM,透過 MultiTimers v.0.3。

MTv0.3 的使用考量

前面文章曾給出範例是用 10 顆 timers,週期 400us,用以組合出半週期 42us 的一支 waveform。經調試,若改用 5 支 timers,週期 240us,offset 48us,則 waveform 的半週期將會接近 50us。這也是筆者將要使用在 pwm 上的時基。
有人會問了,為何不直接使用 1 顆 50us 的 timer,經實測只誤差 1.5us,優於上述的使用方式。當然可以。軟體 timers 的使用原則就是基於實務上的應用來決定運用。若只用於一途,就用一顆,若多途使用,則便須考量多顆 timers 在運作之下,會不會同(短)時間多顆 timer 須觸發而致 timer 失準的問題了-這個就讓筆者簡稱為“疊失”吧。又,或許失點準無妨,故,就是全依實務考量之。
故現在問題轉而問道,
我若要使用 2kHz pwm 來驅動四顆馬達。
故若派生出 4 顆 50 us 的 timer,若直接用了,那麼疊失問題必然發生。尚且這樣來看問題,若某兩顆 timer offset 12.5us 呢?沒錯,它們倆永遠都不會相遇,不過,別忘了,計時器中斷 payload 就已 4us 了,假設 service 做完只花 1us,就離開,下次進來,必得提前 4us,也就是說,第 8.5us 計時器就得準備再進來一次,接下來就不用多說了;1 秒內有 0.2 秒都在跑計時器服務。況且,這意謂著 50us 的時距下,要塞入 4 顆 timer 的 serving 沒錯吧,若視 payload 為無物,在等分時距下也要 12.5us 就須跑一次 timer service。結論是,1 秒內總共耗用 0.4 秒做計時器服務,wdt reset 是可望達成的。
反觀,剛剛是 4 顆 50us 的 timers,我們現在想要有 5 顆 50us 的 timers(使用本文的範例),每 50us 才會做一次 timer servicing,payload 必然可被視為無物,因為下一次 timer 進來是 50us 之後了。唯一的差別是每一次 timer 進來會把 4 支 pwm 該做的事情都全做掉,若是驅動 4 支 GPIO,耗時應不會太大,但免除不了該有的運算,這,正給了我們該思考此問題的真正問題核心。
誠然,最後讀者偷笑了說,我只要派生 1 支 50us timer,每次都做 4 支 GPIOs 該做的事不就得了。筆者說,是的 XD,一雷驚醒夢中人。
筆者默想著,嗯可能那個唯一的 isr 內會變得相當複雜且更耗時;因為處理異相及 duty 等問題。而筆者的不同之處便是把它分攤到 5 支 isr 內。按,又說了,那我每次進來就換成下一次不同的 isr 不就得了,筆者無言道,是的。默言,寫程式就是這麼好玩。

    current_time = new_time;
    return true;

    pinMode(D2, OUTPUT);

    }

}

在 ISR 內,這已是我們最簡化的程序了,但測試的結果只設定了 4 支 GPIO,總共/ISR 耗時 5us。這算很大了 XD。
不過,此範例內就有說了,sync 這個函式還不適合做;也就是說,意義上而言此範例此 4 支 GPIO 都是同步的,每一次進 ISR 全都會被設定。是故,一旦在沒有同步同時的需求下,我們可以將四支 GPIO 錯開/offset 掉。又,我們也看出了/猜測,設定 1 支 GPIO 耗時比執行 1 行指令還要貴,得到寧可跑判斷而避跑設 IO 的結論。
為了證實這點,筆者下個範例只改 ISR 內只設定 4 支 GPIO,看費時多久:
設定 1 支 GPIO 平均費時 1 us。事實上,看相鄰兩支 GPIO 被拉動的波形才最準確;如圖一,相鄰設定了 D2 和 D5,得出拉動 1 支 GPIO 需耗時 800ns。

範例二 Minimization of accessing the GPIOs

    z=micros();
    if (!pwm_idx) return;

#if 1
    if (pwm_idx==(pwm_data[0]+1)) digitalWrite(D2, 0);
    else if ((pwm_idx==1) && pwm_data[0]) digitalWrite(D2, 1);

    if (pwm_idx==(pwm_data[1]+1)) digitalWrite(D3, 0);
    else if ((pwm_idx==1) && pwm_data[1]) digitalWrite(D3, 1);

    if (pwm_idx==(pwm_data[2]+1)) digitalWrite(D4, 0);
    else if ((pwm_idx==1) && pwm_data[2]) digitalWrite(D4, 1);

    if (pwm_idx==(pwm_data[3]+1)) digitalWrite(D5, 0);
    else if ((pwm_idx==1) && pwm_data[3]) digitalWrite(D5, 1);
#else
    (pwm_idx<=pwm_data[0])? digitalWrite(D2, 1): digitalWrite(D2, 0);
    (pwm_idx<=pwm_data[1])? digitalWrite(D3, 1): digitalWrite(D3, 0);
    (pwm_idx<=pwm_data[2])? digitalWrite(D4, 1): digitalWrite(D4, 0);
    (pwm_idx<=pwm_data[3])? digitalWrite(D5, 1): digitalWrite(D5, 0);
#endif

    if (++pwm_idx>10) pwm_idx=1;
    test_val1=micros()-z;
}

範例六 總結地製作 PWM

如果製作成通用的 PWM 類別,所投入者含平台本身似乎大過於實務上的應用,例如隨意的 PWM Freq,隨意的 duty cycle 解析度,隨意的 PWM 個數。而基於 MultiTimers 能夠適用的最小時基當派生 4~6 支 timers 時(每支 250us),應就是 50us 了。故使用 50us 就是確定的。再者前例使用 5 支 sync-offset timers,是為了 DC 的設定方便,然則最適用的應是派生 4 支 timers,筆者的實測數據是 4 x 192us timers,offset 48us,error-rate 3.95%,因而取來作為 PWM 的時基/timing control。故 PWM 終版會延用前範例的思路;透過前例也讓我們了解到,將 DC 0%,100% 另外拿出來直接設定將可維持程序的一致性並簡化問題。故終版差別是增加整平機制,將 PWM instances 分攤在 4 個 ISRs 務求降低某 ISR 的獨佔時間,這也是派生多支 timers 的唯一用處。
