Any tutorial on Due PWM interrupt?

Is there any tutorial on PWM Interrupt?
In AVR, the timer corresponding to the PWM pin could generate an interrupt after its time period is elapsed. In timer ISR we used to some code to be executed. is there any option like that in Arduino Due?
Thanks and Regards,
Sourav.

Hey Sourav,

I'm looking for something similar. Did you find a solution?

Thanks

I know I talked with you a bit about this already but I think something bears mentioning (even though it is mentioned a lot in many places). It's going to sound kind of preachy but it's really for the best:

The key to life is being willing to figure things out yourself. When I was first setting up PWM I did look for examples and tried to find an example that would be very close to what I needed. I did find some code but I had to tweak it to do what I wanted and I couldn't find an example of how to set up PWM to trigger an ADC interrupt. I had to look at the data sheet and figure it out myself. Sometimes good examples just don't exist.

You will need to learn to read the processor's data sheet. It's well over a thousand pages but you're really only interested in perhaps 30-40 pages of it. Read the whole PWM section, read it again. Then, read the parts that really interest you. Pay special attention to the registers. Then, go look at the PWM library files from LIBSAM and see what functions you can use. They make it simpler. Now, here's the key: try something. Make a guess, take a stab at it. Did it work? Great! Not at all? Try again. Did it kind of work but like like you wanted? Tweak it until it works like you wanted.

The bottom line is that there are people willing to help but usually it pays to figure out as much as you can and then ask very specific questions. A lot of times people don't want to answer "How do I use PWM interrupts? I need examples!" but would be fine with "I've got this code (posts code) that I believe should set up PWM interrupts and do X, Y, and Z but when I run it Y doesn't happen and sometimes the program crashes. I've tried (A) and (B) but they didn't work. I've run out of ideas. Can anyone help?"

To answer your question, though, yes, you can trigger a PWM interrupt based on the time period elapsing. You can kind of see that with the code I posted where I'm triggering an ADC interrupt instead. It's the same basic idea except you want to trigger a PWM interrupt instead of a PWM event line like I did. You see, what you want to do is set up a PWM counter event (comparison unit) and then enable the interrupt for the channel you just set up a counter event for. Then it should interrupt when the PWM counter gets up to the value you requested. If you are in center aligned mode and you want to interrupt dead in the center then put in your max PWM duty number and it'll do what you want. You can see in my code I actually used a number a little less than the max so that I'd trigger the ADC event line just a little early and start ADC conversion right around when I get to the center. So, try still setting up the comparison unit for channel 0 and then enable channel 0's interrupt with

PWMC_ConfigureComparisonUnit(PWM_INTERFACE, 0, 1030, PWM_CMPM_CEN);
PWMC_EnableChannelIt(PWM_INTERFACE, 0);

I also had lots of problems to set the PWM and interrupt.
But here some code to do it ! Hope it can help you guys.

IMO, it's easier this way:

Are you sure about digitalRead() an output on DUE? AFAIK doesn't work, I wrote this function in my sketch to read the status of an output :

uint8_t read_output(uint8_t pin){
    uint32_t pbm = digitalPinToBitMask(pin);
    uint32_t ret = *portOutputRegister(digitalPinToPort(pin)) & pbm;
    if(ret > 0) return 1;
    else return 0;
}

Ciao, Ale.

Yes it works. remember, once you set:
pinMode(LED_BUILTIN, OUTPUT) , you power PIOB (LED_BUILTIN is PB27) and you enable output on that pin, BUT you can always read the status of a pin, since you have powered PIOB.

The sketch works nicely on my DUE.

Page 620, Sam3x datasheet:
Note that the Input Change Interrupt, Interrupt Modes on a programmable event and the read of the pin level require the clock to be validated.

Yeah, you are absolutely right, I just test myself and is working, now I would like to understand why this was not working before in my sketch. I just remember that I wrote that function 'cause I needed to read the state of an output, and digitalRead() was always return LOW.

Ciao, Ale.
