Question

Hi, I am completely new to STM32 MCU programming. I am trying to make a simple variable frequency complementary square wave generator with my STM32F103C8T6 blue pill to drive an inductive load. I'd like to use a potentiometer to vary the frequency.

Frequency range I'm looking for is from 60 kHz to 200 Khz. Here's the code I generated with Cube IDE. It initializes the GPIOs, ADC, and PWMs but I don't know how to integrate a potentiometer in this code and be able to vary the frequency of the complementary square waves.

Hello Friend, I am also new to Microcontroller world. I don't know where to begin if have any ideas share with me if you like it or when you're available. I have STM32F407VET6 board. I never used other microcontrollers before. I am totally new.
