PWM inputs and debugging

1

Hi folks,

I’m trying to use a PWM input for something slightly different than what’s in the documentation. I have an encoder that doesn’t have ABI output, but it does have PWM.

It’s 0-100% style, not 1ms-2ms (as mentioned in this thread). So I made the following modifications to the firmware:

ODrive/Firmware$ git diff MotorControl/low_level.cpp
diff --git a/Firmware/MotorControl/low_level.cpp b/Firmware/MotorControl/low_level.cpp
index b40b327..f81da23 100644

Then I configured the pin as follows:

odrv0.config.gpio4_pwm_mapping.min = 0
odrv0.config.gpio4_pwm_mapping.max = 3000
odrv0.config.gpio4_pwm_mapping.endpoing = odrv0.axis0.encoder._remote_attributes['count_in_cpr']

However… nothing happens. count_in_cpr is never updated (I also tried _remote_attributes['pos_estimate']). And further, I don’t seem to have any way to debug. Besides setting the endpoint, is there any way to get the current measured value from a PWM pin, to see if the measurement is working?
