I was working on a sine table I have the sine table.
so if I bit bang this no pwm or timer
I would basically run a loop 256 times
using the table as the on time and off time am a right or not even close?


Code:
uint8_t  sine_wave[256] = {
  0x80, 0x83, 0x86, 0x89, 0x8C, 0x90, 0x93, 0x96,
  0x99, 0x9C, 0x9F, 0xA2, 0xA5, 0xA8, 0xAB, 0xAE,
  0xB1, 0xB3, 0xB6, 0xB9, 0xBC, 0xBF, 0xC1, 0xC4,
  0xC7, 0xC9, 0xCC, 0xCE, 0xD1, 0xD3, 0xD5, 0xD8,
  0xDA, 0xDC, 0xDE, 0xE0, 0xE2, 0xE4, 0xE6, 0xE8,
  0xEA, 0xEB, 0xED, 0xEF, 0xF0, 0xF1, 0xF3, 0xF4,
  0xF5, 0xF6, 0xF8, 0xF9, 0xFA, 0xFA, 0xFB, 0xFC,
  0xFD, 0xFD, 0xFE, 0xFE, 0xFE, 0xFF, 0xFF, 0xFF,
  0xFF, 0xFF, 0xFF, 0xFF, 0xFE, 0xFE, 0xFE, 0xFD,
  0xFD, 0xFC, 0xFB, 0xFA, 0xFA, 0xF9, 0xF8, 0xF6,
  0xF5, 0xF4, 0xF3, 0xF1, 0xF0, 0xEF, 0xED, 0xEB,
  0xEA, 0xE8, 0xE6, 0xE4, 0xE2, 0xE0, 0xDE, 0xDC,

I don't think that's right. Isn't that just a list of amplitudes? Shouldn't you be pre-calculating the on and off-times? So that If the list is [On1, Off1, On2, Off2, ....] where On_n+Off_n = your period, for all n.

Or I guess you could just have them be just a list of all on (on1, on2, on3, ...) times or off times (off1, off2, off3...)and subtract it from the period on the fly to calculate the other half (Off1 = Period - On1) or (On1 = Period - Off1).
 
I found lots about doing this with pwm the chip I was playing with don't have pwm I was just trying to get a sine wave I got part of one the down side slope looks good on a scope the upside looks like a clift LOL that was with a pwm and low pass filter.
 
How many spare pins have you got?

I used three pins... A DAC and a filter and my sine was pretty good
32 entries in the sine table for one cycle

I got lots of pins lol could you share your code I'm just playing with my scope and how to make sine wave.

I just tried with the chip I had hooked up it can't hold the table I'm think about a 24f it has a dac I think 10 bits
 
You wont need the code.

As it was three bit dac ( LOL three bits ) table was simple...

char sinetable[] = {7,7,7,7,6,6,6,5,5,4,3,2,2,1,1,1,0,0,0,0,1,1,1,2,2,3,4,5,5,6,6,6};

Oh yeah!! That was about 1khz... a delay of 100us between values so the filter was 1k and 0.1uf

I don't think the 24F generally has DAC (at least not of any decent resolution), but it's simple to use PWM as a DAC, and most PIC's have at least one PWM channel - what PIC are you using that doesn't have PWM?.

I've recently used PWM for the contrast setting on an LCD module, just added a 1K resistor and 10uF as a lowpass filter.
 
Changed chips im not getting a nice sine wave don't think the cap is right I can't read them LOL
I tried 3 two looked better these caps writing is so small hard to see whats what.

I was going to try that Mike but I gave up I'm still learning xc8 how would i put
char sine[] = {7,7,7,7,6,6,6,5,5,4,3,2,2,1,1,1,0,0,0,0,1,1,1,2,2,3,4,5,5,6,6,6};
In program memory the chip has lots of that but just 72 bytes of data tho.
 
Well I tried that not too good lol

I cleaned it up a bit Ian looks nice now Thanks
now to work on the next part LOL

I assume you've already worked out that to put your data in flash you just proceed it with const.

const char sine[] = {7,7,7,7,6,6,6,5,5,4,3,2,2,1,1,1,0,0,0,0,1,1,1,2,2,3,4,5,5,6,6,6};

Mike.
 
I need some kind of Language Reference sheet I can do good if I can bring up and look at it.
I can't think like i did 8 year's ago my doctor is slowly killing my brain with meds.
 
With C compilers, its best to write you own stuff or derive it from working code... Libraries shipped with compilers are too generic and bloat code... I think it makes it harder to understand IFDEF this and IFDEF that... Gets on my left testicle...

As for age.. Well I can't see my bench to well, let alone things on it!! I have now 3 different pairs of specs.. All with different focal lengths... All three are on my head so I can swap them out.. I look like a right nutjob..

My shortest focal glasses have little magnifying lenses built into the already magnified lenses... Time to give up or what!!
 
Na i never give up hell i wear 3 pairs of glasses one over the next lol.
My big peoblem is out of habit im good it nothing gets moved hell i can wire a house and cant even see the wire copper but i do look it over with glasses on
