Ports: PWM Input

The VEKTOR Core has 6 PWM input ports, numbered from 1 to 6. These ports can be selectively assigned one of two working modes:

  1. PWM Input Mode: To capture signals from receivers.
  2. RPM Input Mode: To capture High-Low levels from Hall sensors and magnets.

As PWM Inputs​

The INPUT_CHx_MODE registers set the operation mode of the PWM input port to either pulse width modulation with a 20ms duty cycle (common RC receiver output) or as an input for RPM sensors. Set to 1 for PWM In, and 2 for RPM In.

When set as PWM Input, the INPUT_CHx_VALUE register will contain a value between 1000 µs and 2000 µs, according to the physical input. As RPM Meters

As RPM Inputs​

To get accurate readings, connect our Hall RPM meters to the port with the same polarity as the PWM wires.

When set as RPM meter, the INPUT_CHx_VALUE registers will contain the actual RPM count.

The RPM meters can detect rotations from 100 RPM up to 6000 RPM.
