Yes… it is just pointing to the base address of the PWM. There are a bunch of registers that control it… you can look at them with the *

That is just a pointer… so make it a star… *PWM_1_HW

I think I understand- it’s just pointing the the base address specific for that PWM. Is that base address a control register for that counter.? In that case, it would be nice from a troubleshooting point of view to actually see its contents using printf().

Alan, If in the case statement for printf, I added “printf(“%p\n”,PWM_1_HW)” :
case ‘s’: // Stop the PWM
printf(“Stopped PWM\r\n”);
Cy_TCPWM_PWM_Disable(PWM_1_HW,PWM_1_CNT_NUM);
printf(“%p\n”,PWM_1_HW);
This prints out the address of PWM_1_HW, but how can I printf the value that is stored in that address? I want to see what is being passed to the Cy_TCPWM_PWM_Disable( ) function. For that matter I’d like to the same with PWM_1_CNT_NUM ….

In reply to JMECKSTROTH. My guess is that when you "paste" you didnt click on the Workspace. The problem is probably that you were still on the project that you were copying.

Problem with this lesson: After copy/paste of the first project, Creator will not permit renaming, giving the error message “Cannot rename “FirstDesign_Copy_01” to “FreeRTOS-UART”: (Failed to move C:\Users\nnnnn\Documents\PSoC Creator\PSoC6-Webinar-A\FirstDesign_Copy_01.cydsn to C:\Users\nnnnn\Documents\PSoC Creator\PSoC6-Webinar-A\FreeRTOS-UART.cydsn: Access to the path ‘C:\Users\nnnnn\Documents\PSoC Creator\PSoC6-Webinar-A\FirstDesign_Copy_01.cydsn’ is denied.).
