Hello,
I am making some modifications in my programm that had written by someone. it is about a flame machine and AC mains frequency is 50Hz. Now, the program is working for outputting a 20ms continuous flame that means it is quiet clear that it was working at 100% duty cyle(not sure!). I want to make modifications in program to get atleast a continuous flame for 1second or more. I think it is not possible because of it is already working at full duty cycle(not sure!) or am i missing soemthing? The signal that i am working with is PWM. Can i get any help here?

a picture would be worth a thousand words.

Program that puts out a flame? as in extinguish a flame or write to a USB blowtorch?

Not trying to be a wise guy here, just your question is not at all descriptive.

Can you slow down and help us understand what you have?

Seriously, i didnt mean to chase him away...

Our fossil plant had some flame detectors that measured fluctuatuions in UV region if i recall... i'd be wary of tinkering with those as they were protective equipment on a boiler.
