i want to get the message from the uart every 5s. how can i configure timer based on that

[soundarya_h_s]

clock frequency 170MHz

This is the code i have generated using TIM2 CH1

could you please set the prescalar, period,pulse to get output every 5s

Error_Handler();

Hello @soundarya_h_s, 

Check the block diagram in your product datasheet, to know which bus the TIM2 is connected to (in your case it's APB1)

Here are the formulas you're going to need : 

To calculate the TIM clock frequency: TIM Clock = APB TIM clock/ (PSC+1)

PSC = 170MHz/1MHz) - 1 = 169

To have an event every 5 seconds, you should set the ARR to (5s/1us) - 1 = 4,999,999

pulse value is not relevant since you're not using the timer in PWM mode 

You also need to configure the timer to generate an interrupt on update event 

[soundarya_h_s]

Hello @Sarra.S 
can you provide the code for interrupt on update event 
should i add callback function or what should i add in the interrupt 
is the switch case should be present in the TIM2 init itself
