Hi mehmet,

Is the RCC and GPIO well configured for TIM4 ? Can you give us your configuration so perhaps I can help you.Herzlich, MCU Lüfter

Hi mehmet,

Your config looks fine. Check that the encoder interface signals are toggling and well connected to PB6 and PB7. Good luck.Herzlich, MCU Lüfter

hello thank you , here are the routines I wrote

--------------------------- void TIM4init(void) {   TIM_TimeBaseStructure.TIM_Period = 0xffff;   TIM_TimeBaseStructure.TIM_Prescaler = 0;   TIM_TimeBaseStructure.TIM_ClockDivision = 0;   TIM_TimeBaseStructure.TIM_CounterMode = TIM_CounterMode_Up;

  TIM_TimeBaseInit(TIM4, &TIM_TimeBaseStructure);

  TIM_EncoderInterfaceConfig(TIM4,TIM_EncoderMode_TI1,TIM_ICPolarity_Rising,TIM_ICPolarity_Rising );

  TIM_Cmd(TIM4, ENABLE);

    TIM4->CNT=0; } ------------------------------   GPIO_InitStructure.GPIO_Pin = GPIO_Pin_9|GPIO_Pin_8|GPIO_Pin_7|                                 GPIO_Pin_6|GPIO_Pin_5;   GPIO_InitStructure.GPIO_Mode = GPIO_Mode_IN_FLOATING;   GPIO_Init(GPIOB, &GPIO_InitStructure); ------------------------------ RCC_APB1PeriphClockCmd(RCC_APB1Periph_TIM4, ENABLE); ------------------------------ and in the main loop {   int16_t *RAMptr=&RAM[DATAWORDS+500*2];     *RAMptr= TIM4->CNT; } I can watch the *RAMptr in the PC with my comunication program, no problem there I tried to give pulse PB6 , direction PB7 and vice versa - no counting ( they are TIM4_CH1 & CH2 ) ( btw I have STM32F103RC )

Hello MCU Lüfter , I think I discovered a bug in STM32  🙂

I checked the signals, everything is fine with my circuit the problem is no matter what encoder mode is selected the Timer counts only phase shifted A B encoder mode I mean I selected TIM_EncoderMode_TI1 and TIM_EncoderMode_TI2 the timer counted only when I simulated phase shifted A B signals on the CH1 and CH2 inputs
