Thanks for the suggestions. I wound up just doing it in software with (as usual) a crude hack that works pretty well. It was way less painful than I thought it would be, actually! Is there a reason Microchip doesn't make this a little easier? It seems it would be a fairly common task at least. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Jinx" To: Sent: Thursday, April 22, 2004 4:30 PM Subject: Re: [PIC:] Slow PWM signal in hardware > > Are there any clever tricks that can slow it down to about a 17ms > > No, I don't think so, you'll probably have to use the timer(s) or s/w.
