Programatically How to generate the Pulse output

[Karthikeyan_Mathiyalagan]

Hey Friends,,

I want to generate the Pulse using one digital out channel . I want to switch on and off for every 10ms for 5000 times.

can any one explain me with 1 example program .....

hi

please specify the device that you are using to generate the pulse ouput using digital output. Because not all devices support correlated digital I/O.

but you can do this very easily if you use counter output instead of digital output in any device. I've attached the example code.

thanks

Ravi.

Hii Ravi Actually i am having limited counter o/p module ... ya i know how to use the Counter module..

Actually i want to drive a stepper motor through a single digital output by switching on and off continously for every 10 ms on and off... for about 5000 pulse... so inorder to use a digital signal how can i access it... can u suggest an idea for that.......

Regards

Hi

Check out this code. I'm using software timing to control the on time and off time 🙂 and the counter will check if you have exceeded 5000ms. The code will stop after that time.

This will generate a PWM. But I'm skeptical if it will run the motor.

That is because the current output of the Digital Output is very less (mA). If you have a motor drive then it is not a problem.
