Chapter 13. Advanced PWM Tricks
To create audio that’s more interesting than square waves, we’re going to use PWM to create rapidly changing intermediate voltages that’ll trace out arbitrary waveforms. For now, we’ll content ourselves with a few of the traditional synthesizer-type waveforms (sine, sawtooth, and triangle waves), but this project also lays the groundwork for playing back sampled speech. (When we have enough memory at our disposal, in Chapter 18, we’ll use the same techniques to make a talking voltmeter.) We’ll also be able to change the volume of the sounds and mix multiple sounds together. If you like making spacey, droney sounds or just something more musical than the square wave sounds we’ve been making ...
