I haven't experienced any issues like this with the latest firmware. Can you post a simple code sample and I will try to reproduce it?

I actually wrote a new code fragment to test it out and it seems to be working now. I am using this piece:

public class Program
{
	public static void Main()
	{
		PWM pwm = new PWM(PWMChannels.PWM_PIN_D5, 1000, 500, PWM.ScaleFactor.Microseconds, false);

		OutputPort led = new OutputPort(Pins.ONBOARD_LED, false);
		Boolean ledState = false;
		while (true)
		{
			led.Write(ledState);
			ledState ^= true;
			Thread.Sleep(500);
		}
	}
}

In retrospect I think I made two mistakes:

1. I used the wrong pin. Wanted to use D5 but started with Cpu.PWMChannel.PWM_5 which Intellisense suggests so very helpfully. I still find it confusing that instead I have to use the wrappers (PWMChannels.PWM_PIN_D5, also for the normal pins)
2. I set the ScaleFactor to Milliseconds and used the values above for period and duration.

So, sorry for the smoke, it seems to work now!

Thank you so much,

Hi, I recently flashed the newest Firmware (4.2.0.1) and want to use PWM to control some motors. Whenever I create a PWM instance though the whole device freezes and stops being recognized by windows (immediately when the new object is created it seems). I have to then erase it (with the gold pad) and reflash the complete firmware to fix it. I am using the correct SDK (MicroFrameworkSDK_NETMF42_QFE2.msi) and SDK as specified in the firmware upgrade post. Has anyone else experienced this and is there a solution? Am I missing something? Thank you for help and hints! Jens

Hi, I just updated to this version (4.2.0.1) following all the steps and the Netduino works perfectly...until I try to use the PWM classes. Whenever I create a pwm output the whole Netduino freezes and is not recognized by windows anymore. I have to do a complete erase and flash the firmware again to revive it. Am I missing something important or is there a bug that nobody else seems to have seen so far? Googling didn't bring up any answers for me. Thanks for your help! Jens
