Hello, I'm using PWM_DynamicFreq.ino for generating 2 different frequency

[Ori1]

Hello, I'm using PWM_DynamicFreq.ino for generating 2 different frequency, What I'm trying to do is changing the delay between them around 1 to 10 ms.
I tried to do it with simple delay but it's not working for me. Can someone give any example for it?

Buy the way I'm using Teensy4.1
"
void loop()
{
delay(1000);
frequency = 20000.0f;
Serial.print(F("Change PWM Freq to "));
Serial.println(frequency);
PWM_Instance->setPWM(pinToUse, frequency, 20.0f);
printPWMInfo(PWM_Instance);
delay(1000);
frequency = 1000.0f;
Serial.print(F("Change PWM Freq to "));
Serial.println(frequency);
PWM_Instance->setPWM(pinToUse, frequency, 50.0f);
printPWMInfo(PWM_Instance);
}"

If it works okay with a 1-second delay, but not with 10-ms delay, have you tried gradually reducing the value to see where it stops working? There is probably some limit, and you probably can't get too close to a 1-ms delay if you are using 1000 Hz.

I will try to explain better. The delay I need is between the 2 signals, to get a "0", for 1 to 10 milliseconds.
Its not working with 1 second delay between.
Please see the result that show that first frequency is ended and the second one begin immediately.

Do you mean you are setting duty cycle = 0 for 1-10 ms between frequency changes? Please show your code.

I atached it before,

View attachment 33920 1. frequency (A), 2. delay (B), 3. frequency (C) I meant to delay between 2 different frequency and not duty cycle.

The delay I need is between the 2 signals, to get a "0", for 1 to 10 milliseconds.

If "0" means "no signal" for 1 to 10 ms, here is an example that seems to work. It repeats this cycle:

• for 10 ms, frequency=1000(Hz) and duty cycle=50(%)
• for 5 ms, frequency=1000 and duty cycle=0 (no signal)
• for 10 ms, frequency=500 and duty cycle=50

#include "Teensy_PWM.h"

#define pinToUse              5

Teensy_PWM* PWM_Instance;
float frequency;
float duty_cycle;

void setup()
{
  Serial.begin(115200);
  while (!Serial && millis() < 5000);
  frequency = 10000.0f;
  duty_cycle = 50;
  PWM_Instance = new Teensy_PWM(pinToUse, frequency, duty_cycle);
}

void loop()
{
  frequency = 1000;
  duty_cycle = 50;
  PWM_Instance->setPWM(pinToUse, frequency, duty_cycle);
  delay(10);
 
  duty_cycle = 0;
  PWM_Instance->setPWM(pinToUse, frequency, duty_cycle);
  delay(5);

  frequency = 500;
  duty_cycle = 50;
  PWM_Instance->setPWM(pinToUse, frequency, duty_cycle);
  delay(10);
}

Thanks, I thought that I tried it before and for some reason got an error , But now it work when I set Duty Cycle to 0.
I have another question regarding it, How I can get the delay time and also the time when there is frequency more accurate in nano seconds?

Not sure exactly what you mean, but you can use delayMicroseconds() or delayNanoseconds()
