How can I measure percentage of pulse signal

1 view (last 30 days)
I am working on a project. I need get pwm signal on raspberry pi then find the open interval which means percentage of the signal. I design a system but it does not work properly.
I can reach the correct value without delay but when I decrease the percentage it keeps max value.

You are probably better off filtering the PWM signal to find the interval percentage. See the attached example.

It works thank you but my period will be 20ms. When I change the period of the pwm, it does not work. How can adjust the filter for this period?

If you have the Signal Processing Toolbox, you can use the filterDesigner app to design a lowpass IIR filter. Otherwise, there are some online tools such as this one: Online Filter Designer
I've attached an example of a filter using a 0.020 s period with an arbitrary sampling rate.
