Arduino Nano PWM pin not functioning

Question 1

I am building a project using an Arduino Nano. In it, I am using pin 3 as PWM output. However, If I supply values lower than 255 to it, the pin does not output any voltage at all.

According to this diagram, pin 3 is PWM:

I have tested it on two boards, it doesn't function on either one. It's not my sketch, either (I tested it with a simpleanalogWrite();).

This is the code:

void setup() {  // put your setup code here, to run once:  #define E1 3  // Enable Pin for motor 1  #define E2 10  // Enable Pin for motor 2  #define I1 4  // Control pin 1 for motor 1  #define I2 2  // Control pin 2 for motor 1  #define I3 A1  // Control pin 1 for motor 2  #define I4 A0  // Control pin 2 for motor 2}void loop() {  // put your main code here, to run repeatedly:  // I use differential steering, speed is important  analogWrite(E1, 100); // Run in full speed  analogWrite(E2, 100); // Run in full speed  // always go forward  digitalWrite(I1, LOW);  digitalWrite(I2, HIGH);  digitalWrite(I3, LOW);  digitalWrite(I4, HIGH);}

What could be the reason of this?

Question 2

Request this to be moved to the arduino stackexchange

Question 3

@JorenVaes how do I do this?

Question 4

No code shown. What in the world are we supposed to speculate about then?

Question 5

@Bort sorry, added the code.

Question 6

Try to replace #define E1 3 with #define E1 PD3 and see if that helps.

Question 7

Try to replace#define E1 3 with#define E1 PD3 and see if that helps.

ThePBx,PCx andPDx designations are unambiguous, so using those are pretty much a safe bet.

Question 8

This is absolutely wrong advice. Arduino functions take Arduino pin numbers. In this case it just happened to work becausePD3 is#defined as 3 and the Arduino pin number is also 3. Try usingPB2 instead of the Arduino pin number 10 if you don't believe me. They are not even unambiguous. Those designators are just defined as the bit numbers (e.g.PB3 is also 3).

Question 9

The third pin (pin 3) is not a PWM pin, it is theRESET pin.

The PWM pins are 6, 8, 9, 12, 13 and 14 (for Arduino Nano).

Seethis image:

Question 10

Shortened URL redirects toimages.google.co.in/… so not much point to replacing it.

Question 11

@Carolene according to the schematic given by the OP, pin 3 means digital pin 3 = PORTD 3. The part of your answer "The PWM pins are 6, 8, 9, 12, 13 and 14 (for Arduino Nano)" is completely misleading.

Question 12

Replace digitalWrite with analogWrite(pin, value)

Question 13

I'm not sure why you think this would work. Did you read the accepted answer above or the comments under the question?

Question 14

UsepinMode(NNN, OUTPUT) atsetup()?

Question 15

Hi Denis, and welcome to Stack Exchange! Whilst you may be correct, please expand upon your answer, because as it stands it would be more suited as a comment. Please readHow do I write a good answer?

Question 16

This is a good answer, the PIN MODE is missing.
