PPMEncoder

This library generates a Pule-Position-Signal using interrupts, so you don't have to care about timings in your software! For more details what an PPM signal is, please consult the english or the german wikipedia article. Take a look at the examples how to use this library - I hope you find it easy to use :)

Introduction

Your value range is from 0,5ms to 1.5ms. This results in timer1 overflow values from 500 to 2500 - which is your range you can use.

Setup

By default, there are 8 Channels use can use. You can set this value using the template parameter.

PPMEncoder<> ppmEncoder{}; // default 8 channels
PPMEncoder<4> ppmEncoder{}; // 4 channels

For more than 8 channels, the frame length has to increase - which you can set manually with the following constructor.

PPMEncoder(const uint16_t minValue, const uint16_t maxValue, const uint16_t frameLength, const uint16_t pulseLength)

You also need to define the timer ISR function as following:

ISR(TIMER1_COMPA_vect) {
    ppmEncoder.interrupt();
}
