Hi all !!!!!

I want to implement a PID motor position controller in PIC18F4431. I read the motor position using a quadrature encoder and use the built in QEI to get the motor position. The PID loop is calculated every 0.52S inside the TIMER1 overflow ISR. This is my code (all variables are global).

How do I now convert this to PWM to drive the motor ?

Rich (BB code):
void interrupt(){
	if(PIR1.TMR1IF==1){                   // every 0.52 seconds the PID O/P is calculated
          
        	  ERR_P1 = ERR_P2;            // get previous position error
	          ERR_P2 = SET_P - POS;       // calculate present position error
        	  ERR_AC = ERR_AC + ERR_P2;   // calculate accumilated error
	          PID_P  = (float)Kp*ERR_P2 + (float)Ki*ERR_AC*0.52 + (float)Kd*(ERR_P2-ERR_P1)/(0.52);
                    
        	  PIR1.TMR1IF = 0;
	}
}
BTW I am using a 360 pulses per revolution quadrature encoder and operating in the X4 mode of the QEI module i.e. when the shaft rotates 1 round (360°) the motor max value of "POS" will be 360×4-1=1439
