Dimming LED Program with RP HAL

rp-hal is an Embedded-HAL for RP series microcontrollers, and can be used as an alternative to the Embassy framework for pico.

This example code is taken from rp235x-hal repo (It also includes additional examples beyond just the blink examples):

“https://github.com/rp-rs/rp-hal/tree/main/rp235x-hal-examples”

The main code

#![no_std]
#![no_main]

use embedded_hal::delay::DelayNs;
use hal::block::ImageDef;
use rp235x_hal as hal;

// Traig for PWM
use embedded_hal::pwm::SetDutyCycle;

//Panic Handler
use panic_probe as _;
// Defmt Logging
use defmt_rtt as _;

/// Tell the Boot ROM about our application
#[unsafe(link_section = ".start_block")]
#[used]
pub static IMAGE_DEF: ImageDef = hal::block::ImageDef::secure_exe();
/// External high-speed crystal on the Raspberry Pi Pico 2 board is 12 MHz.
/// Adjust if your board has a different frequency
const XTAL_FREQ_HZ: u32 = 12_000_000u32;

/// The minimum PWM value (i.e. LED brightness) we want
const LOW: u16 = 0;

/// The maximum PWM value (i.e. LED brightness) we want
const HIGH: u16 = 25000;

#[hal::entry]
fn main() -> ! {
    // Grab our singleton objects
    let mut pac = hal::pac::Peripherals::take().unwrap();

    // Set up the watchdog driver - needed by the clock setup code
    let mut watchdog = hal::Watchdog::new(pac.WATCHDOG);

    // Configure the clocks
    //
    // The default is to generate a 125 MHz system clock

    let sio = hal::Sio::new(pac.SIO);

    // Set the pins up according to their function on this particular board
    let pins = hal::gpio::Pins::new(

    pwm.enable();

    // Output channel B on PWM4 to GPIO 25
    let channel = &mut pwm.channel_b;
    channel.output_to(pins.gpio25);

    let mut timer = hal::Timer::new_timer0(pac.TIMER0, &mut pac.RESETS, &clocks);

    loop {
        for i in LOW..=HIGH {
            timer.delay_us(8);
            let _ = channel.set_duty_cycle(i);
        }

Clone the existing project

You can clone the blinky project I created and navigate to the led-dimming folder to run this version of the blink program:

git clone https://github.com/ImplFerris/pico2-rp-projects
cd pico2-projects/led-dimming
