- You should see a change in LED brightness if a LED is connected to the SCTimer output pin, otherwise, you could see the change of the duty cycle using an oscilloscope.
- Terminate the debug session.
4.2 Use the Pin Tool
Now, let’s use the Pins tool that is part of the MCUXpresso Config Tool to show how to add a new GPIO pin to your project to blink an LED.
Use MCUXpresso IDE Pins Tool
To open pin tools in MCUXpresso IDE:
- Open the pins tool by right clicking on the “lpcxpresso55s28_sctimer_pwm_dutycycle_change” project, and selecting “MCUXpresso Config Tools” and then “Open Pins”
- The pins tool should now display the pin configuration for the pwm project
To open pin tools in MCUXpresso Config tools:
- Open the MCUXpresso Config Tool.
- In the wizard that comes up, select the “Open existing configuration” radio button, then select the project that you had clone and click on Next.
- Open the pins tool by selecting Tools → Pins from the toolbar.
- The pins tool should now display the pin configuration for the pwm project.
Use the pins tools to modify the SCT routed pin:
- We’ll use MCUXpresso IDE for the rest of the instructions, but the same steps can be done in MCUXpresso Config tools for third party IDEs. In the Pins view deselect the “Show not routed pins” checkbox to see only the routed pins, you also going to see the pins that are routed by default. Routed pins have a check in a green box next to the pin name. The functions selected for each routed pin are highlighted in green.
- In the current configuration, PIO0_15 is routed as a SCT0_OUT2. Let’s disable, PIO0_15, and change the mux setting of PIO1_4 to use its SCTimer functionality to drive the blue LED
- Disable, PIO0_15 as a SCTIMER by clicking the “SCT0_OUT2” field under the SCT column. The pin will then be disabled (pin will no longer have check in box) and thus disappear from the list.
- Now, route PIO1_4 as a SCTIMER. First, select the “Show not routed pins” so that all the pins are displayed again. Then, search PIO1_4 in the pins view. Finally, click the box under the SCTIMER column “SCT0_OUT0”. The box will highlight in green, and a check will appear next to the pin.
- Now it’s time to implement these changes into the project by exporting the new updated pin_mux.c and pin_mux.h files that are generated by the Pins tool. Click on Update Project in the menu bar.
- The screen that pops up will show the files that are changing and you can click on “diff” to see the difference between the current file and the new file generated by the Pins tool. Click on “OK” to overwrite the new files into your project.
- Now inside the IDE, open the
sctimer_update_dutycycle.cfile. - Note that when we change the sctimer routed pin in the tool the PIO0_15 use SCT_OUT4 while the PIO1_4 (blue led) use SCT_OUT0, we are going to change the “DEMO_SCTIMER_OUT” macro from “kSCTIMER_Out_2” to “kSCTIMER_Out_0”
- Build and download the project as done in the previous section.
- Run the application. You should now see the blue LED acts as a "breathing”
- Terminate the debug session
4.3 Use the Clocks Tool
Next use the Clocks tool that is part of the MCUXpresso Config Tool to change the clock settings and change the rate that the LED blinks.
Use MCUXpresso IDE Clock Tools
To open clock tools in MCUXpresso IDE:
- Open the Clock tool by right clicking on the “lpcxpresso55s28_sctimer_pwm_with_dutycycle_change” project and selecting “MCUXpresso Config Tools” and then “Open Clocks”.
- The clock tool should now display the pin configuration for the project.
To open clock tools in MCUXpresso Config tools:
- Open the MCUXpresso Config Tool.
- In the wizard that comes up, select the “Open existing configuration” radio button, then select the project that you had clone and click on Next.
- Open the clocks tool by selecting Tools → clocks from the toolbar.
- The pins tool should now display the pin configuration for the pwm project.
Use the clock tools to modify the system clock:
- We’ll use MCUXpresso IDE for the rest of the instructions, but the same steps can be done in MCUXpresso Config tools for third party IDEs. Switch to the Clocks Diagram view by clicking the tab in the upper left corner.
- Make sure that you are in the functional group called “BOARD_BootClockFROHF96M”.
- Change the core clock frequency by clicking in the Systems Clock field and typing “12”. You’ll see all the other clock values automatically change as well to adjust to this slower speed. It will look like this when done:
-
Now it’s time to implement these changes into the project by
exporting the new updated
clock_mux.candclock_mux.hfiles that are generated by the Pins tool. Click on Update Project in the menu bar. -
The screen that pops up will show the files that are changing and
you can click on “diff” to see the difference between the current
file and the new file generated by the Clock tool. Click on “OK”
to overwrite the new files into your project.
Note: The Pins files may also be tagged as being updated since the header has been changed.
- Build and download the project as done in the previous section.
- Run the application. You should now see the blue LED acts as “breathing” a much slower rate.
- Terminate the debug session
4.4 Success
With the application modified, you will see the LPCXpresso55S28 RGB blue LED acts as "breathing" slowly.
