Re: [Paparazzi-devel] Digital servo frequency on fixedwing

[Felix Ruess]

Hi Joseph,

the Umarim Lite v2 uses the 4017 decade counter to generate the servo pulses. The actuators_pwm driver is only for directly driving gpio pins as servo inputs.

Cheers, Felix

Hi all,

I have gotten digital servo on my fixedwing. Those servos have a 270 Hz frequency.

I want to increase the PWM actuator frequency to match the servo frequency. I have Umarim Lite v2 and I think I need to change the timing of the servo period #define SERVOS_PERIOD SERVOS_TICS_OF_USEC(25000) in sw/airborne/arch/lpc21/subsystems/actuators/actuators_pwm_arch.c

I have the folowing questions:

- Has anyone tried to increase actuators' frequency to match those of the servos? Have you noticed any improvements?

- Does it make sense to increase actuators' frequency when AHRS PERIODIC FREQUENCY is set to 50 Hz for Umarim? I'm guessing yes since the servo will receive a new signal faster (3.7 ms) after the AHRS output

Best,

Joseph
