Hello,
I need to understand the implementation of using output compare with timers as a basis to tackle a more advanced project. My start point/goal is a timer with a period of 3 seconds and it toggles when CNT equals 800ms(CCR1). Clock is running at 32MHz. I started with CubeMX using timer 1 and the behavior is not as expected. It just toggles every 3 seconds. When CNT = CCR1 nothing happens.
I then ditched CubeMX and the HAL altogether and wrote the code in bare-metal. Same result. I have tried using the debugger to monitor the registers but something is amiss. Any help to understand what I may be missing is appreciated.
Attached are CubeMX screenshots and the code(bare-metal commented out)...
I commented out Auto generated functions when using bare-metal

Toggle mode means, that the output changes polarity when Compare event happens. And it happens once per period, regardless of the value of TIMx_CCRx, so you have always only one polarity change per period.
Use one of the two PWM modes instead of Toggle mode.

i have a doubt if i'm updating the output compare register will it count from the updating value again

Don't hijack others threads. Start your own, stating the STM32 and hardware you are using, and the problem you came across. You can link to this thread if you think it's relevant.
