For a super-aquarium project, I want to dim power leds and pumps via a pwm output. I'd like to have 6 mosfet-controlled voltages 9-12 VDC.
Here is what I assume:
1. pwm only useful pin output for this, hpwm not useful. (?)
2. 20m2 seems to have the most pwm's - 4 of 'em.
3. bit-banging a possibility, with just a loop and pauses?
Any advice on how to proceed to use the p'axe as a power controller on 6-8 channels of control?
I can envision a loop in which the individual pins are turned on for a certain time period:
hipause = 5
high 1
pause hipause
low 1
...etc.
Any other ideas to do this? multiple picaxe chips running one program?
Thanks
JB
