RCServoSoftPWM.c
This routine is for generating the code signals used to control rotor position
for up to five little RC servos. An RC servo signal repeats every 20ms:
High 300 to 2500 uS to indicate rotor position, and then Low. This sample code
uses the output compare pins OC1 - OC5. It divides the 20ms into 5 x 4ms.
A 4ms Timer is set up with Timer 2. The interrupt determines which pin to turn on
at the given duty cycle. The other PWMs are set to zero duty cycle (off).

Servo Control with Digital Output

This example is based on the code from PIC18. It uses two timers and up to 5 digital outputs. The PWM pins can be saved for other motor controls.

You can download RCservoSoft.c for the PIC32 here.

/********************************************************************
RCServoSoft.c a.long 2009-09-11
This routine is for generating the code signals used to control rotor position
for up to five little RC servos. An RC servo signal repeats every 20ms:
High 300 to 2500 uS to indicate rotor position, and then Low. This sample code
uses pins RD0 - RD4 but you can switch it to whichever pins (and as few) as you wish.
This routine uses Timer 3 to generate the RC servo signals in semi-software.
Timer2 and Timer3 can be used for hardware PWM, so you may be interested in changing
the timer.

We'll keep a 1KHz interrupt routine going with Timer2. This ISR sets all outputs
low every 4mS. Using a Timer 3 ISR, we turn one of the five outputs high,
every 300-2500 uS prior to the next 4mS boundary. If you have other stuff in the
1mS ISR, put it after this RC servo code, so as not to disturb our timing.
This code has been generated with reference to RCservoSoft.c from m.peshkin.
