To develop Command for Servo MOTOR (motion control)

Posted on July 29, 2016 at 17:25

Hi,

Could you precise which Firmware are you using ?

I recommend  you start with PWMOutput example within your firmware package (STM32CubeXX)

As example, this application in

 package:

STM32Cube_FW_F4_V1.12.0\Projects\STM32F412G-Discovery\Examples\TIM\TIM_PWMOutput

Hi,

Thanks for reply.

But i have already did the work with PWM using STM32F3 examples, and able to generate PWM from 1 Khz to 1 Mhz.

But want to have control on PWM, should stop after certain pulse to send. And make command as are in dspin, mentioned above.

Pankaj

You are likely to have to develop your own code.

For longer pulse trains I tend to prefer the Advanced Timers, and use the Repetition Counter (8-bit). PWM output can be turned off by setting the CCRx pulse width to zero. So you'd want to count off Update interrupts, decimate with the Repetition Counter, and then turn off the output when the desired number of pulses have occured.

Hi,

Thanks for reply.

I have understood the point, but problem is i am totally new to STM32. If you or anyone else can guide me more on it, with come example code, will be more helpfull.

Regards,

The DSP/SPL library, and STM32F3-DISCO library, both have examples of TIM PWM and TIM IRQ, you will need to review those and experiment. Specifically modulating the pulse width, or period, and counting cycles (updates). For speed control, you'd presumably want to define an envelope where it accelerates, holds, decelerates, etc. at rates and speeds desired.

I know I've posted dozens of useable examples here, use Google/Bing, and review those too.

There are some examples of using PWM with the repetition counter, and triggering with other timers.

All these should be view with respect to the timer documentation in the reference manual.

The processor is not going to be able to interrupt at MHz rates, so methods you choose need to decimate the loading, and do as much as possible in the hardware domain.

There is only so much guiding I'm willing to do, you'd need to carry some of your own weight when it comes to implementing your own code.
