How to set duty cycle of two pwm channel in opposite polarity inside gpio interrupt handler?

[RAM_MS]

I am quite new with nordic environment .

My application is to start 2 pwm instance in opposite polarity (i.e 1 high polarity and another is low polarity with same duty cycle) when got interrupt in gpio pin.

I am able to create the same by using PWM_Library example in SDK .

Here is my code 

#define    Period    20000 //20ms
#define    PIN_IN    22
#define    PWM_PIN  (11UL)

int duty_1= 20;

static volatile bool ready_flag;            
static int gpio_flag =0;

APP_PWM_INSTANCE(PWM1,1);                   
APP_PWM_INSTANCE(PWM2,2);

void pwm_ready_callback(uint32_t pwm_id)    // PWM callback function
{
    ready_flag = true;
}

void in_pin_handler(nrf_drv_gpiote_pin_t pin, nrf_gpiote_polarity_t action)
{
   gpio_flag =1;
}

static void gpio_init(void)
{
    ret_code_t err_code;

    err_code = nrf_drv_gpiote_init();
    APP_ERROR_CHECK(err_code);

    nrf_drv_gpiote_in_config_t in_config = GPIOTE_CONFIG_IN_SENSE_LOTOHI(true);
    in_config.pull = NRF_GPIO_PIN_PULLDOWN;

    err_code = nrf_drv_gpiote_in_init(PIN_IN, &in_config, in_pin_handler);
    APP_ERROR_CHECK(err_code);

    nrf_drv_gpiote_in_event_enable(PIN_IN, true);
}

static void pwm_pin_init(void)
{
 ret_code_t err_code;

    app_pwm_config_t pwm1_cfg = APP_PWM_DEFAULT_CONFIG_1CH(Period, BSP_LED_0);
    app_pwm_config_t pwm2_cfg = APP_PWM_DEFAULT_CONFIG_1CH(Period, BSP_LED_1);

    
    pwm1_cfg.pin_polarity [0]= APP_PWM_POLARITY_ACTIVE_HIGH;
    pwm2_cfg.pin_polarity [0]= APP_PWM_POLARITY_ACTIVE_LOW;


    
    err_code = app_pwm_init(&PWM1,&pwm1_cfg,pwm_ready_callback);

    APP_ERROR_CHECK(err_code);

    err_code = app_pwm_init(&PWM2,&pwm2_cfg,pwm_ready_callback);

    APP_ERROR_CHECK(err_code);
    app_pwm_enable(&PWM1);
    app_pwm_enable(&PWM2);

} 

int main(void)
{
 bsp_board_init(BSP_INIT_LEDS);

    gpio_init();

    pwm_pin_init();

    uint32_t value;

  while(true)
  {

    if(gpio_flag == 1)
    {
      value = duty_1;
      gpio_flag =0;

      ready_flag = false;
      /* Set the duty cycle - keep trying until PWM is ready... */
      
      
      while ((app_pwm_channel_duty_set(&PWM1, 0, value))&(app_pwm_channel_duty_set(&PWM2, 0, value)) == NRF_ERROR_BUSY);
 
      /* ... or wait for callback. */
      while (!ready_flag);
      APP_ERROR_CHECK(app_pwm_channel_duty_set(&PWM1, 0, value));
      APP_ERROR_CHECK(app_pwm_channel_duty_set(&PWM2, 0, value));
   
     // nrf_delay_ms(25);
    }

    else
    {
     app_pwm_channel_duty_set(&PWM1, 0, 0);
     app_pwm_channel_duty_set(&PWM2, 0, 0);
    }
  }
}

This code is working properly but I want to set duty cycle inside the interrupt function not in main function .

So how to do so because I tried but without any success.

So guide me .

Hi,

I notice you are using app_pwm, which is not actually the PWM hardware peripheral instance, but instead app_pwm is using several ppi, gpiote and timer to create a PWM signal:
https://infocenter.nordicsemi.com/topic/sdk_nrf5_v17.0.2/lib_pwm.html 

You may get into trouble updating the PWM in such case since it will depend on the interrupt priority of those peripherals.

I instead suggest that you use the PWM hardware peripheral, which have no such dependencies.

You can find an example here that show how you can setup the PWM peripheral:
https://devzone.nordicsemi.com/f/nordic-q-a/39314/pwm-update_function/152602#152602

You can find an example below where pwm channel 1 is inverted of pwm channel 0:

The above main.c is a modification of \nRF5_SDK_17.0.2_d674dde\examples\peripheral\pwm_driver

Hello, Kenneth

I tried using pwm hardware peripheral but It's not working can You please guide me where is the fault in my code??

        //if (gpio_flag == true)
        {
          gpio_flag = false;
          unsigned int val = duty;
          pwm_update_duty_cycle(val);
        }
    }
}

Mainly my zcd_init() function is not working . where I created an 50% duty cycle signal of 20 ms period and given to my gpio interrupt pin 22.

Please don't mix direct hardware access to the PWM peripheral and at the same time also use the driver to access the PWM peripheral. Then you very likely will end up in a bad state or configuration.

Hello ,Kenneth 

Please guide me to solve this problem .

My simple aim to control two pwm channel in opposite duty cycle from interrupt and interrupt signal is also an square wave signal with 50% duty cycle and 20ms period.

[RAM_MS]

Hello

Again by doing (duty | 0x8000) channel 1 output is opposite to channel 0 but with different duty cycle .

That is if duty cycle of  channel 0 is 40 then duty cycle become 60 .which is not required .

My question was about opposite polarity with same duty cycle.
