I am working with a Ping ultrasonic sensor from Parallaxthat requires an input pulse of 2 microseconds to trigger the sensor. It then sends back a high signal for a period of time that is directly proportional to the distance it is measuring.
The One Pulse Mode (OPM) that the STM324xx has seems perfect to send the 2 microsecond input pulse. It seems that the reference manual states that I should configure the output pin as a PWM out. It also states the Output Compare Mode (OCM) could be used in One Pulse Mode. Below, I wrote some code to configure pin PB4 as a PWM output. I cannot figure out how to configure it into a One Pulse however. I believe I need to configure the timer to TIM_OPMode_Single by calling the TIM_SelectOnePulseMode() function. Am I on the right track?
I am grateful of any help!
