Description

If you do not know the PWM frequency you can determine the angle with PWM in the following way.

In one period there are 4351 bits (128 + 4095 + 128) These come typically in one pulse like

00001111111111111111111111111111111111100000000
    HEADER          DATA               POSTLOW

Step 1

Determine the duration of one cycle by measuring the time between two RISING edges. Lets call this time FULLSCALE == 4351 bits.

Then the time for one bit BITTIME = round(FULLSCALE / 4351.0);

Step 2

Measure the duration of the HIGHPERIOD == HEADER + DATA

We know the HEADER is 128 bits and FULLSCALE = 4351 bits.

DATAPERIOD = HIGHPERIOD - 128 * BITTIME

ANGLE = 360 * DATAPERIOD / (4095 * BITTIME)
