Ok, but... Let's pretend for a moment that i come from a technical institute in high s= chool, i studied Electrotechnics (i hope i spelled it right), but thanks to= our public school minister, if i was born five years ago i wouldn't have t= his problem. I have NOT studied power supply system, so I don't know WHY t= his happens. I know that a lot of hum comes from switching power supplies (= and since i come from italy, i think it has 220V hum ;) )... Because it wor= ks basically like a pwm module. Now what i can't understand is WHY only the pwm module doesn't work.... If = it's so obvious that it's not written anywhere, i am sorry ;) > From: bobblick@ftml.net > To: piclist@mit.edu > Subject: RE: [PIC]PIC18F2550A, Pwm doesn't work when using on external po= wer supply > Date: Tue, 27 Sep 2011 08:48:19 -0700 >=20 >=20 >=20 > On Tuesday, September 27, 2011 5:16 PM, "Jacopo Monegato" wrote: > >=20 > > Yes, i was thinking about that. the 12 VDC is from a switching laptop > > power supply.
