void application_task ( void )
{
static int8_t duty_cnt = 1;
static int8_t duty_inc = 1;
float duty = duty_cnt / 10.0;
brushless24_set_duty_cycle ( &brushless24, duty );
log_printf( &logger, "> Duty: %d%%rn", ( uint16_t )( duty_cnt * 10 ) );
Delay_ms( 1000 );
if ( 10 == duty_cnt )
{
duty_inc = -1;
}
else if ( 0 == duty_cnt )
{
duty_inc = 1;
}
duty_cnt += duty_inc;
}
The full application code, and ready to use projects can be installed directly from NECTO Studio. The package Manager (recommended), downloaded from our LibStock™ or found on MikroE Github account.
Other MikroE Libraries used in the example:
