Introduction
This example uses the EQEP to measure frequency of a signal generated by ePWM.
The example does the below
- Configures EPWM to generate a signal and EQEP to measure frequency of this generated signal (a loopback connection is required).
- The application runs for the specified time and the frequency calculation is done using the EPWM ISR.
- After the specified time, the application checks if the measured frequency was within range of the generated frequency.
External Connections
AM263X-CC
- Connect eQEP0A to ePWM0A (simulates eQEP Phase A signal)
- Connect eQEP0B to ePWM0B (simulates eQEP Phase B signal)
- Connect eQEP0I to GPIO48 (simulates eQEP Index Signal)
When using AM263x-CC with TMDSHSECDOCK (HSEC180 controlCARD Baseboard Docking Station)
- Connect HSEC Pin 49 to HSEC Pin 102
- Connect HSEC Pin 51 to HSEC Pin 100
- Connect HSEC Pin 52 to HSEC Pin 106
