Megasquirt 3 - Generic PWM outputs |
Introduction
The Generic PWM system allows up to six independent open-loop PWM (pulse width modulated) or on/off outputs. The duties are programmed through an 6x6 table of rpm vs. Y-axis. For the Y-axis you can choose from MAP, %baro, TPS, MAFMAP, CLT, MAT. The output is typically used to drive a solenoid valve (PWM mode) or relay (on/off.) PWM is a method that pulses an output on and off, the on-time percentage (duty) is variable, this is often used for idle valves and allows a valve to "float" in-between closed and open for variable flow rates.
Settings

Enable generic PWM - Turns this PWM channel on or off
Output port/pin - Selects the output pin to use
On-off or variable - On/off or variable PWM output
On above duty - For on/off mode, duties in the table above this value turn the output on.
Off below duty - For on/off mode, duties in the table below this value turn the output off. (Leave a gap to prevent chatter.)
Frequency - For variable outputs this sets the frequency.
Load Y axis - Choose from MAP, %baro, TPS, MAFMAP, CLT, MAT for the Y-axis of the table.
CLT/MAT units - This settings chooses the temperature scale in use. It can only be set through the "Generic Sensors" menu.
