Single phase induction motor VFD - code

Hello!
I need help with the source code for Arduino uno R3, I want to build a program that generate 4 pins output SPWM for driving two H-bridge power circuits which generate two sine wave with variable frequency and phase angle 90deg between them.
I asking your help because I don't have all the information about timers and interrupts
The code below I founded on internet and I adjust the phase angle ( the value of i=157 that should be 90deg of 180 which represent 313 pulses )
Another concern is about this line : " OCR1A=509;// compare match value" instead of 509 should I put there 157, I'm not sure about this line.

In this stage the code it's only for fixe frequency of 50Hz, I would be very grateful if can you suggest me what should be do to transform this inverter in one whit variable frequency adjusted by a potentiometer from 10-100Hz (if it's possible)
I don't need any feedback loop from motor
For driving the power circuits I will use opto-coupler drivers (like HCPL3120) between arduino and power switches.

Thank you !

Could You try to get in contact with the guy who wrote the code?

Here is what the outputs look like on an oscilloscope:

  • Channel 1 - yellow trace - pin 3
  • Channel 2 - red trace - pin 5
  • Channel 3 - blue trace - pin 6
  • Channel 4 - green trace - pin 11

Zooming in on any of those 10ms wide blocks of pulses, shows the duty cycle rising up from 0% going up to 100% and then going back down to 0%.

Is that what you want?

From the oscilloscope sreen things looks very good for me!

Thank you very much!!

Soon I hope to finish the power side and makeing some tests.
