STM32F103C8T6 PWM Generation

Hello! I have a question: How to generate a PWM on STM32F103C8T6 in Keil uVision 5. I watched some tutorials but I couldn't make it work, I want to enable TIM1 on pin PA11 and PA12. PWM needs to run at 20kHz => period = 3600.

It will be used for motor control on a robot. This is what I managed to do:

&sharpinclude 'stm32f10x.h'

int main(void){

RCC-> APB2ENR |= RCC_APB2ENR_TIM1EN; 

RCC->APB2ENR |= RCC_APB2ENR_IOPAEN;

GPIOA->ODR |= GPIO_ODR_ODR11;

GPIOA->CRH |= GPIO_CRH_MODE11_1;

GPIOA->CRH &= ~(GPIO_CRH_MODE11_0);

TIM1->PSC = 0;

TIM1->ARR = 3600;

TIM1->CCR4 = 1800;

TIM1->CCMR2 |= TIM_CCMR2_OC4M_1 | TIM_CCMR2_OC4M_2 | TIM_CCMR2_OC4PE; 

TIM1->CCER |= TIM_CCER_CC4E; 

TIM1->BDTR |= TIM_BDTR_MOE;

TIM1->CR1 |= TIM_CR1_CEN; 

TIM1->EGR |= TIM_EGR_UG;

while(1)

{

//User code

}

}

I watched this tutorials:

Maybe if you have some more tutorials on PWM and encoder readings with timers I would be very glad!

Thank you in advance!

Any help would be appreciated!

a few suggestions:

1) I generally organize my pwm code into two pieces: 1) initialize the time base, like setting up the prescaler and period, set up the particular channels, 2) change the channel's duty cycle.

if I were to do your case, I would have written two pieces, t1pwm_init(1, 3600); and t1pwm4_setdc();

you have most of the code pieces there but if you want I can share mine with you.

2) '

TIM1->CCMR2 |= TIM_CCMR2_OC4M_1 | TIM_CCMR2_OC4M_2 | TIM_CCMR2_OC4PE; '

that's a very dangerous piece of code as it assume a certain state of CCMR2 prior to that line. I would have done a more explicit line.

hope it helps.

Thank you for a quick reply. I would be grateful for your code.

You need to set also the CNF11 bits in GPIO_CRH to Alternate function.

(Btw., there is no TIM4 functionality for PA12)

here is what I have, tested on a STM32F100 and should work across STMF0/1/2/3/4..., with minor modifications (mostly on the GPIO and RCC portion of the code)

The code was borrowed from LM3S/LM4F/TM4C so you will see some Luminary / TI terminology there.

I took out T1CCP2..4 to save you some space.

Setting duty cycle is done by a group of macros.

//set duty cycle
#define pwm1_setdc1(dc)TIM1->CCR1 = (dc)
//T1CCP2..4 not shown�?�?�?�?�?�?

The code is designed assuming that initializing the pwm module is done in-frequently, so that the changing of duty cycle is made to execute as fast as possible.

The code should be fairly easy to be parted to other parts.

Note that the AF framework used on those F1 parts isn't the greatest. later chips, like F0 and F3/4, have much more friendlier AF mechanisms and will make your life here much easier.

Ohh, I meant PA11 and PA For learning purposes I moved to PA8 (TIM1 CH1).Do you have any example code?

I did some research, but it still doesn't work(code below). I still don

't

know what

henry.****

meant with dangerous piece of code:

'

TIM1->CCMR2 |= TIM_CCMR2_OC4M_1 | TIM_CCMR2_OC4M_2 | TIM_CCMR2_OC4PE; '

I would be really grateful for some example code and more explanation becauseI am really new in stm32 and bit writing!

#include 'cmsis_boot/stm32f10x.h'

int main(void){

//clock enable

RCC->APB2ENR |= RCC_APB2ENR_IOPAEN;

RCC-> APB2ENR |= RCC_APB2ENR_AFIOEN;

RCC-> APB2ENR |= RCC_APB2ENR_TIM1EN;

//max Output speed:

GPIOA->CRH |= GPIO_CRH_MODE8;

//alternate function:

GPIOA->CRH |= GPIO_CRH_CNF8_1;

//Timer settings:

TIM1->CCMR1 |= TIM_CCMR1_OC1M_1 | TIM_CCMR1_OC1M_2 | TIM_CCMR1_OC1PE; //PWM mode 1

TIM1->PSC = 0;

TIM1->ARR = 3600;

TIM1->CCR1 = 1800;

TIM1->CCER |= TIM_CCER_CC1E; //enable TIM Output

TIM1->BDTR |= TIM_BDTR_MOE; //Main output enable

TIM1->CR1 |= TIM_CR1_CEN;

TIM1->EGR |= TIM_EGR_UG;

while(1)

{

//User code

}

}

These need to be written as N-1, ie divide by 1000 set as 999

TIM1->PSC = 0; // DIV1

TIM1->ARR = 3600; // DIV3601
