PWM doesn't work with my sketch

Question

I have a weird problem. again. This time it's the PWM. I have used PWM before and I used to work the way I am doing it now. But now it just wont work. The Fading sketch from example works. When I compile a code with the similar code it doesn't work. Everything with respect to compilation is same.

The code that works:

int ledPin = 3;    // LED connected to digital pin 9

void setup() {
  // nothing happens in setup
}

void loop() {
  for (int fadeValue = 0 ; fadeValue <= 255; fadeValue += 5) {
    analogWrite(ledPin, fadeValue);
    delay(30);
  }
  for (int fadeValue = 255 ; fadeValue >= 0; fadeValue -= 5) {
    analogWrite(ledPin, fadeValue);
    delay(30);
  }
}

The code that doesn't work.

#define FAN1 3
#define FAN2 5

void setup() {
  //EMPTY
}

void loop() {
  int speed1 = 25;
  int speed2 = 127;
  analogWrite(5, speed1);
  analogWrite(3, speed2);
  delay(10000);
}

Why doesn't the second code work?

EDIT 1:

By not working I meant No output on Second Code and Expected Output on First one. Currently I'm using ISIS for simulation and Oscilloscope to view the output along with a L239D with motors attached.

In the first code the motor starts and stops as expected, with the expected PWM Waveform.

In second code, nothing. No waveform, no motor movement.

Answer 1

One omission from your code which might be causing the problems is the fact that you haven't set the pinMode. You need to set the pins as OUTPUT in setup()

#efine FAN1 3
#define FAN2 5

void setup() {
    pinMode(FAN1, OUTPUT);
    pinMode(FAN2, OUTPUT);
}

void loop() {
  int speed1 = 127;
  int speed2 = 25;
  analogWrite(FAN1, speed1);
  analogWrite(FAN2, speed2);
  delay(10000);
}

I am curious to know why you declared FAN1 and FAN2, but didn't use them - I'd recommend changing the analogWrite statements to use them instead of referring to the pin numbers directly.

Also, the way you're using the pin and speed means that you're using speed2 for FAN1 and vice versa, I've switched these in my example so FAN1 and speed1 go together.
