Re: Weird ESP32 timing issue

So you think coding in assembler is .. refreshing. Yes, well, maybe it will be again for me. Increasingly though, I find it tedious. Guess I'm turning into a crotchety old man.

(In the background, I can hear my wife calling out "Turning? TURNED honey, already turned.)

But I still have a wealth of ...

Re: Weird ESP32 timing issue


could you use the ESP32S2 RMT (Remote Control Transceiver)


Thanks for this!

I've actually gone a different route, as my brilliant idea hit a real world (near) showstopper.

Annoyingly, the non-workable plan used a motor and controller I already had. The new plan had me buy a new motor and a ...

Re: Weird ESP32 timing issue

Thanks to all for the PWM suggestion!

I clearly didn't didn't research the capabilities of this chip thoroughly enough. I started with an Arduino and found that an 8MHz processor was not quite fast enough to bit-bang and the PWM was not nearly fast enough.

So I looked for the fastest processor in ...

Weird ESP32 timing issue

I have a servo motor .. DC motor with quadrature encoder .. connected to a servo controller. The controller gets fed a short pulse and applies enough power to the motor to move it one quadrature count. Give it a steady stream of pulses and the motor rotates as if it were a conventional motor.

I ...
