 Do some efforts its not that hard just take help from STM32 library code

If still not get sucess ''ll put some code fot fast PWM with period 50 usec(yes usec not msec...) and with variable duty cycle output.

''''I''ll put some code for fast PWM''

But he didn't want PWM;  just a fixed-period, fixed duty cycle - and not very fast at that!

I got it working using TIMx as Toggle, here is my init and interrupt routine. I choosed a prescaler value and parametrized CC1 register to have different freq/duty cycle. In the service routine I select the counter toggle value in order to have the right duty cycle. Is that the better way to do this?

Would you explain to me what is the PWM? I'm just learning and I really get lost. Thanks and best regards.
