# PWM GPIO
This code example demonstrates the configuration of pulse width modulation (PWM) to control the brightness of an LED, and configuration of GPIO to toggle an LED ON and OFF using the Eclipse IDE for ModusToolbox™ software. This application also demonstrates how to invert the PWM signals which would be helpful for applications such as motor speed and direction control.

## Hardware setup
This example uses the board's default configuration. See the kit user guide to ensure that the board is configured correctly.
## Software setup
Install a terminal emulator if you don't have one. Instructions in this document use [Tera Term](https://ttssh2.osdn.jp/index.html.en).
This example requires no additional software or tools.
## Using the code example
Create the project and open it using one of the following:
<details><summary><b>In Eclipse IDE for ModusToolbox&trade; software</b></summary>
1. Click the **New Application** link in the **Quick Panel** (or, use **File** > **New** > **ModusToolbox&trade; Application**). This launches the [Project Creator](https://www.cypress.com/ModusToolboxProjectCreator) tool.
2. Pick a kit supported by the code example from the list shown in the **Project Creator - Choose Board Support Package (BSP)** dialog.
When you select a supported kit, the example is reconfigured automatically to work with the kit. To work with a different supported kit later, use the [Library Manager](https://www.cypress.com/ModusToolboxLibraryManager) to choose the BSP for the supported kit. You can use the Library Manager to select or update the BSP and firmware libraries used in this application. To access the Library Manager, click the link from the **Quick Panel**.
You can also just start the application creation process again and select a different kit.
If you want to use the application for a kit not listed here, you may need to update the source files. If the kit does not have the required resources, the application may not work.
3. In the **Project Creator - Select Application** dialog, choose the example by enabling the checkbox.
4. (Optional) Change the suggested **New Application Name**.
5. The **Application(s) Root Path** defaults to the Eclipse workspace which is usually the desired location for the application. If you want to store the application in a different location, you can change the *Application(s) Root Path* value. Applications that share libraries should be in the same root path.
6. Click **Create** to complete the application creation process.
For more details, see the [Eclipse IDE for ModusToolbox&trade; software user guide](https://www.cypress.com/MTBEclipseIDEUserGuide) (locally available at *{ModusToolbox&trade; software install directory}/ide_{version}/docs/mt_ide_user_guide.pdf*).
</details>
<details><summary><b>In command-line interface (CLI)</b></summary>
ModusToolbox&trade; software provides the Project Creator as both a GUI tool and the command line tool, "project-creator-cli". The CLI tool can be used to create applications from a CLI terminal or from within batch files or shell scripts. This tool is available in the *{ModusToolbox&trade; software install directory}/tools_{version}/project-creator/* directory.
Use a CLI terminal to invoke the "project-creator-cli" tool. On Windows, use the command line "modus-shell" program provided in the ModusToolbox&trade; software installation instead of a standard Windows command-line application. This shell provides access to all ModusToolbox&trade; software tools. You can access it by typing `modus-shell` in the search box in the Windows menu. In Linux and macOS, you can use any terminal application.
This tool has the following arguments:
Argument | Description | Required/optional
---------|-------------|-----------
`--board-id` | Defined in the `<id>` field of the [BSP](https://github.com/Infineon?q=bsp-manifest&type=&language=&sort=) manifest | Required
`--app-id` | Defined in the `<id>` field of the [CE](https://github.com/Infineon?q=ce-manifest&type=&language=&sort=) manifest | Required
`--target-dir`| Specify the directory in which the application is to be created if you prefer not to use the default current working directory | Optional
`--user-app-name`| Specify the name of the application if you prefer to have a name other than the example's default name | Optional
<br>
The following example will clone the "[PWM GPIO](https://github.com/Infineon/mtb-example-btsdk-pwm-gpio)" application with the desired name "PwmGpio" configured for the *CYW920819EVB-02* BSP into the specified working directory, *C:/mtb_projects*:
```
project-creator-cli --board-id CYW920819EVB-02 --app-id mtb-example-btsdk-pwm-gpio --user-app-name PwmGpio --target-dir "C:/mtb_projects"
```
**Note:** The project-creator-cli tool uses the `git clone` and `make getlibs` commands to fetch the repository and import the required libraries. For details, see the "Project creator tools" section of the [ModusToolbox&trade; software user guide](https://www.cypress.com/ModusToolboxUserGuide) (locally available at *{ModusToolbox&trade; software install directory}/docs_{version}/mtb_user_guide.pdf*).

## Operation
### Using two Bluetooth&reg; SoC boards:
1. Connect the two boards to your PC using the provided USB cable through the USB connector.
2. Open a terminal program and select the **WICED PUART COM** port. Set the serial port parameters to 8N1 and 115200 baud. You need two windows of the terminal application to view messages from the GATT Server device and the GATT Client device.
3. Program one board with the 'PWM GPIO' application.
<details><summary><b>Using Eclipse IDE for ModusToolbox&trade; software</b></summary>
1. Select the application project in the Project Explorer.
2. In the **Quick Panel**, scroll down, and click **\<Application Name> Program (KitProg3_MiniProg4)**.
</details>
<details><summary><b>Using CLI</b></summary>
From the terminal, execute the `make program` command to build and program the application using the default toolchain to the default target. The default toolchain and target are specified in the application's Makefile but you can override those values manually:
```
make program TARGET=<BSP> TOOLCHAIN=<toolchain>
```
Example:
```
make program TARGET=CYW920819EVB-02 TOOLCHAIN=GCC_ARM
```
</details>
4. After programming, the application boots up automatically. Initially the PWM duty cycle is configured as 0, and LED1 is ON. The device trace on the PUART will show basic configurations of the PWM.
**Figure 1. PUART terminal output after booting up**
![](images/bootup-log.png)
5. Press the user button (SW3) to vary the PWM duty cycle between 0% and 100%. When SW3 is pressed initially, the PWM duty cycle on LED2, pin D6, and pin D7 will start changing. This results in the brightness change in a ramping fashion on LED2. In addition, LED1 toggles from ON to OFF.
6. Press the user button SW3 again. LED2 will hold its brightness level at which the button was pressed. LED1 toggles from OFF to ON. The UART terminal shows the duty cycle at which the PWM is stopped. Pin D6 and D7 will also hold the same duty cycle.
**Note:** The PWM output on D6 and D7 will be inverted with respect to each other.
**Figure 2. PUART terminal output**
![](images/working-log.png)
## Debugging
You can debug the example to step through the code. In the IDE, use the **PWM_GPIO Debug_JLink** configuration in the **Quick Panel**. For more details, see the "Program and debug" section in the Eclipse IDE for ModusToolbox&trade; software user guide: *{ModusToolbox&trade; software install directory}/ide_{version}/docs/mt_ide_user_guide.pdf*.
## Design and implementation
The PWM GPIO application demonstrates how PWMs and GPIOs can be configured in an application using Eclipse IDE for ModusToolbox&trade; software. It also shows how the PWM signal and GPIO toggling are controlled using an on-board button. When the device is powered ON, it boots up, initializes the PUART, and initializes the Bluetooth&reg; stack. The Bluetooth&reg; stack callback function (`bt_cback`) does the device configuration; configures the GPIO, registers interrupts, and starts a thread to control the PWM signal.
The `application_start()` function is the entry point to this application. It initializes the PUART and routes all debug traces to the PUART. By default, the PUART baud rate is configured as 115,200 bps. You can change this by using the `wiced_hal_puart_configuration()` function. The `application_start` function also initializes the Bluetooth&reg; stack (`wiced_bt_stack_init()`). The Bluetooth&reg; stack callback function (`bt_cback()`) performs the following operations when it detects the `BTM_ENABLED_EVT` event:
1. Configures GPIOs (pins D6 and D7) and LED2 for PWM output.
2. Configures LED1 and sets its output to '0' by default. (**Note:** Pins are active LOW.)
3. Configures the on-board button (SW3) and the register for button interrupt.
4. Creates a thread to control the PWM signal.
Whenever SW3 is pressed and released, the application detects a button interrupt and calls the interrupt callback function (`button_cb()`). The app toggles values of LED1 and the PWM flag. The button is configured to detect the falling edge of the interrupt signal (for example, `GPIO_EN_INT_FALLING_EDGE`). If the PWM flag is TRUE, the duty cycle of the PWM signal will start changing between 0% to 100% back and forth in the `PWM_control` thread function. This continuous change in the PWM signal will create a ramping effect on the LED2 brightness. The `duty_cycle` is incremented or decremented with a step size which is set in the application (`DUTY_STEP_SIZE`).
When the PWM flag is FALSE, LED2 will hold its brightness level at which the button was pressed; LED1 toggles from OFF to ON.
The PWM output on pins D6 and D7 are set inverted with respect to each other as shown in [Figure 3](#figure-3-inverted-pwm-in-pins-D6-and-D7).
**Figure 3. Inverted PWM in pins D6 and D7**
![](images/inverted-pwm.png)
This inverted PWM is achieved by setting the initial states of pins D6 and D7 as follows, and configuring them for the PWM signal:
```c
wiced_hal_gpio_configure_pin(CYBSP_D6, GPIO_OUTPUT_ENABLE, GPIO_PIN_OUTPUT_HIGH);
wiced_hal_gpio_configure_pin(CYBSP_D7, GPIO_OUTPUT_ENABLE, GPIO_PIN_OUTPUT_LOW);
```
The initial states (immediately after programming) of LED1, LED2, and pin D6 and D7 are as follows:
**Table 1. Initial states of LEDs and pins**
|Pin |State |
|-------|---------------|
|LED1 |ON |
|LED2 |OFF |
|pin D6 |LOGIC_HIGH |
|pin D7 |LOGIC_LOW |
**Note:** The initial value of `pwm_flag` is 0.
This application also provides an option to use the auxiliary clock for generating a PWM signal which uses the 24-MHz base frequency. Note that the desired GPIO pin must have already been configured to output for `aclk`. See *wiced_hal_aclk.h* for more details.
To enable the auxiliary clock, set `ENABLE_PMU_CLK` to TRUE in *pwm_gpio.c*.
```c
#if ENABLE_PMU_CLK
clk=PMU_CLK;
wiced_hal_aclk_enable(PWM_INP_CLK_IN_HZ, WICED_ACLK1, WICED_ACLK_FREQ_24_MHZ);
#endif
```
**Note:** By default, `ENABLE_PMU_CLK` is set to FALSE and the app uses `LHL_CLK`.
## Resources and settings
This section explains the ModusToolbox&trade; software resources and their configuration as used in this code example. Note that all the configuration explained in this section has already been done in the code example. Eclipse IDE for ModusToolbox&trade; software stores the configuration settings of the application in the *design.modus* file. This file is used by the graphical configurators, which generate the configuration firmware. This firmware is stored in the application’s *GeneratedSource* folder.
