FILE: eqep_ex2_pos_speed.c
This example provides position and speed measurement using the capture unit and speed measurement using unit time out of the eQEP module. MCPWM1 and a GPIO are configured to generate simulated eQEP signals. The MCPWM module interrupts once every period and calls the position/speed calculation function. This example uses the IQMath library to simplify high-precision calculations.
In addition to the main example file, the following files must be included in this project:
The configuration for this example is as follows:
SPEEDRPM_FR: High Speed Measurement is obtained by counting the QEP input pulses for 10ms (unit timer set to 100Hz).
SPEEDRPM_FR = (Position Delta / 10ms) * 60 rpm
SPEEDRPM_PR: Low Speed Measurement is obtained by measuring time period of QEP edges. Time measurement is averaged over 64 edges for better results and the capture unit performs the time measurement using pre-scaled SYSCLK .
Note that the pre-scaler for capture unit clock is selected such that the capture timer does not overflow at the required minimum frequency. This example runs indefinitely until the user ends the program.
For more information about the position/speed calculation see the comments at the beginning of eqep_ex2_calculation.c and the XLS file provided with the project, eqep_ex2_calculation.xls.
