I am using PWM on a BLE Nano using Nordic SDK. I was having problems with the PWM and decided I would set the duty cycle to 0 to see if the program was working right:
#include <stdbool.h>
#include <stdint.h>
#include "nrf.h"
#include "app_error.h"
#include "bsp.h"
#include "nrf_delay.h"
#include "app_pwm.h"
#define TIMER1_INSTANCE_INDEX (TIMER0_ENABLED)
APP_PWM_INSTANCE(PWM1,1); // Create the instance "PWM1" using TIMER1.
static volatile bool ready_flag; // A flag indicating PWM status.
void pwm_ready_callback(uint32_t pwm_id) // PWM callback function
{
ready_flag = true;
}
int main(void)
{
ret_code_t err_code;
app_pwm_config_t pwm1_cfg = APP_PWM_DEFAULT_CONFIG_1CH(5000L, BSP_LED_0);
int dutyCycle = 0;
app_pwm_channel_duty_set(&PWM1, 0, dutyCycle);
pwm1_cfg.pin_polarity[1] = APP_PWM_POLARITY_ACTIVE_HIGH;
/* Initialize and enable PWM. */
err_code = app_pwm_init(&PWM1,&pwm1_cfg,pwm_ready_callback);
APP_ERROR_CHECK(err_code);
app_pwm_enable(&PWM1);
}```
After doing this I hooked an LED up to BSP_LED_0 and was surprised to find that it lit up. What could cause an LED to light up when the duty cycle is 0? Am I doing something wrong?
