Subject: Missing variable in Device::BCM2835 BCM2835_PWM
Date: Wed, 30 Jan 2013 21:01:51 +0100

Hi Start with saying thanks for a perfect library for Perl, I think this is a feature request and not a bug. I have used it a lot but run into problems with handling PWM for my Raspberry PI rev B. What I think I miss in the library is the BCM2835_PWM base variable for handling PWM functions. This became available in c lib BCM2835 in version 1.13 but I guess that the Perl library is older that that. According to my understanding I need the base address for handing the PWM registers on the Raspberry. My knowledge about Perl is too weak to attack the Perl lib myself and I kindly ask for help for adding the variable to the library. Please correct me if I'm wrong. Best regards Oskar Norin Sweden

Hello, Thanks for your report. New version 1.5 has been uploaded to CPAN that should fix this problem. Cheers. On Wednesday, January 30, 2013 03:02:06 PM Oskar Norin via RT wrote: Show quoted text

Hi I think you did a typo or I miss understood the variables that where available in earlier versions. In the new version variable BCM2835_GPIO_PWM exists two times in the new version, it existed one time in version 1.4, but I thought that it wasn't the same as bcm2835_pwm from the library. Best regards Oskar

Hi again, OK, duplicates of BCM2835_GPIO_PWM have now been removed in new upload 1.6. I see now that you are in fact referring to bcm2835_pwm, not BCM2835_GPIO_PWM In the past, I have not exposed those base registers, such as bcm2835_gpio bcm2835_spi0 and bcm2835_pwm Im not even sure its a good idea to expose them at the Perl level. What is it you are trying to achieve? Cheers. On Thursday, January 31, 2013 01:54:29 AM Oskar Norin via RT wrote: Show quoted text
