does anyone have any useful suggestions?

Thanks

Anyone??

Hi,
Forgive my ignorance i am new to this, and i have done a few (unsuccessful) searches to try and solve this.

i am trying to output a chirp signal from my arduino mega pwm out, from maltab. however i cannot put a function as the output. I have tried to use a for loop to solve this but have come to no avail!
any help or suggestions would be much appreciated. the code i have tried to use is as follows.


clear all; clc;

%connect board

a = arduino('/dev/cu.usbserial-A9007LCD')

%specify pin modes

a.pinMode(3,'output');


t = [0:0.01:10];

ch = chirp(t,0.0001,10,10);

for i = 0:numel(ch)
   
    a.analogWrite(3,ch(i,:))
    pause(0.01)
   
end


Thanks very much

Thanks very much will have a go!

Sorry I realise this has got confused. Obviously I didn't word my question correctly to begin with.
I know the pwm output is a square form signal. I need to generate sinusoids within the Arduino software which are then output as equivalent pwm signals, that I can record.

I understand that creating a low pass filter is relatively simple however my tutor would like me construct a model to determin the RC values , so I don't really have a choice.

Thanks very much.
Once i have created a repeating square wave how do I record it to a file on a computer? Do I need any special kit?
Thanks again

Hi all,
I am completely new to arduino.
For a 3rd year Mechanical Engineering project I have been asked to create an arduino control system for a single axis shaking table.

I want to use a low pass filter to convert the PWM output of the arduino board to an analogue signal to then input into the analogue to PWM converter inbuilt in the pre-existing actuator (the rig itself is many years old). Removing the analogue to PWM converter from the actuator for the shaking table doesn’t seem feasible at this point.

What I would like to know is how I can get the arduino to implement a sine wave in PWM and record it to a file I can open in Matlab/Simulink. This I hope would allow me to run simulations and determine the best RC values for the filter.

Thanks in advance
