Regarding Delay

[saiteja]

Hi..... i am a masters student from india. I have developed a code for RGBW now i want to include strobe effect for that i have give a hal_delay it is working fine now i want to change the PWM of RGBW when it is in strobe effect both has to work simultaneously but it is getting hanged i think this is due to Hal_delay i think this problem will be reduced if i give timer delay or i want to do something if it will solved with timer how to give timer delay in STM Controller.. I am using STM32F407VG controller.. Can someone help me out in this....... Thanks in Advance

The HAL_Delay is rather course you could use a 32-bit timer like TIM2 or TIM5 to count microseconds or faster, and delta the TIM->CNT as it advances or use the cores DWT_CYCCNT

​

The HAL method is also dependent on a interrupt so can be a problem if interrupt priorities are wrong and used in callback routines.​

I am giving interrupt priority to 0. could you please give me a sample code for better understanding

[saiteja]

i think timer handler will work out but iam didn't understand how to give it

first you would have to initialise the timer... are you using the cube ?

void start_Timer4(void) {
		HAL_TIMEx_OCN_Start(&htim4,TIM_CHANNEL_1);
		HAL_TIM_Base_Start(&htim4);
}

void resetTim2ChannelCounter(TIM_HandleTypeDef *htim, uint32_t channel) {
 uint32_t tmp;
 
 tmp = htim->Instance->CNT;
 
	htim->Instance->CCR1 = tmp;
	htim->Instance->SR = ! TIM_SR_CC1IF; // clear the flag				
}

void waitTim2ChannelComplete(TIM_HandleTypeDef *htim) {
 
 uint32_t tmp;
		
 tmp = 0;
 while( ! tmp ){
 checkBackgroundServices(); // OS services
 tmp = htim->Instance->SR & TIM_SR_CC1IF;
 }
 htim->Instance->SR = ! TIM_SR_CC1IF; // clear the flag				
}

is this is what you are asking me to do or some thing else... if any mistake just correct me

[T J]

at some stage you have started your timer...

start_Timer5();
while(1){ ....... }

can you add these functions ?
 
extern "C" void wait_us(int uS) {
 resetTimChanneluSCounter(&htim5, 1, uS);
 waitTimChannelComplete(&htim5, 1);
}
 
void resetTimChanneluSCounter(TIM_HandleTypeDef *htim, uint32_t channel, int16_t uS) { // tuned to F767 
 uint32_t uS_Counts; 
 if (uS < 8)
 uS_Counts = ((int32_t) 13480 *8) / 1000;
 else
 uS_Counts = ((int32_t) 13480 *(uS-4)) / 1000;
 
 switch (channel) { // used to have &=
 case 1: {
 htim->Instance->CCR1 = htim->Instance->CNT + uS_Counts;
 htim->Instance->SR = !TIM_SR_CC1IF; // clear the flag 
 break;
 }
 case 2: {
 htim->Instance->CCR2 = htim->Instance->CNT + uS_Counts;
 htim->Instance->SR = !TIM_SR_CC2IF; // clear the flag
 break;
 }
 case 3: {
 htim->Instance->CCR3 = htim->Instance->CNT + uS_Counts;
 htim->Instance->SR = !TIM_SR_CC3IF; // clear the flag
 break;
 }
 case 4: {
 htim->Instance->CCR4 = htim->Instance->CNT + uS_Counts;
 htim->Instance->SR = !TIM_SR_CC4IF; // clear the flag
 break;
 }
 } 
}
 
void waitTimChannelComplete(TIM_HandleTypeDef *htim, uint32_t channel) {
 
 uint32_t tmp;
 
 tmp = 0;
 while( ! tmp ){
 
 checkBackgroundServices(); // OS services
 
 switch (channel){
 case 1: 
 tmp = htim->Instance->SR & TIM_SR_CC1IF;
 break;
 case 2:
 tmp = htim->Instance->SR & TIM_SR_CC2IF;
 break;
 case 3:
 tmp = htim->Instance->SR & TIM_SR_CC3IF;
 break;
 case 4:
 tmp = htim->Instance->SR & TIM_SR_CC4IF;
 break; 
 } 
 }
 switch (channel){ // used to have &=
 case 1:{
 htim->Instance->SR = ! TIM_SR_CC1IF; // clear the flag 
 break;
 }

 htim->Instance->SR = ! TIM_SR_CC4IF; // clear the flag
 break;
 }
 }
}
//******************
 
 
start_Timer5();
while(1){ ....... }
 
 
in your code:
SetPWM(x,dutycycle);
SetPWM(y,dutycycle);
SetPWM(z,dutycycle);
wait_us(10); // blocking code
SetPWM(x,dutycycle);
SetPWM(y,dutycycle);
SetPWM(z,dutycycle);
 
 
 
// non blocking code:
if ( htim->Instance->SR & TIM_SR_CC1IF){ process next PWM }

[saiteja]

is really CCR1,2,3,4 are required i think ccr1 is enough.... ok i'll try this method and get back to you...

Thank You :)

[saiteja]

checkBackgroundServices();?

What the above line indicates

[T J]

that's for my OS,

I check if DMAs are done, reissue commands in there...

you don't need it when you use blocking code.
