🚩 Let start

Create Application

Create Application

Use Device Configurator and set the button pin to have a falling edge interrupt.

Open Device Configurator

Enable LED Pin

Set up Peripherals

Coding

• Coding: Open the main.c file and add the following code to the main(void) function.

main.c

#include "cy_pdl.h"
#include "cybsp.h"

int main(void)
{
    cy_rslt_t result;

    /* Initialize the device and board peripherals */
    result = cybsp_init() ;
    if (result != CY_RSLT_SUCCESS)
    {
        CY_ASSERT(0);
    }

    /* Enable global interrupts */
    __enable_irq();

    // Initialize the TCPWM block
	Cy_TCPWM_PWM_Init(PWM_HW, PWM_NUM, &PWM_config);
	// Enable the TCPWM block
	Cy_TCPWM_PWM_Enable(PWM_HW, PWM_NUM);
	// Start the PWM
	Cy_TCPWM_TriggerReloadOrIndex(PWM_HW, PWM_MASK);

    for (;;)
    {
    	for(int i = 0; i < 500; i++){
    		Cy_TCPWM_PWM_SetCompare0(PWM_HW, PWM_NUM, i);
    		Cy_SysLib_Delay(10); // Delay 10 ms
    	}
    }
}

Build the Application

Launching the Application

Note: Before launching the program to the board, make sure that you have already connected the board to the computer through a USB cable.

set up USB cable

Result

LED will gradually change intensity (LED Brightness).

If you chose a period of 100, you can easily set the duty cycle from 0 to 100 by changing the compare value. Just be sure to use a clock that is fast enough so that even when divided by 100 it is faster than a human eye can see so that the LED appears dim instead of blinking

🎉 Congratulations! You can now complete Lab110
