PWM generation TIM1 CH1N

I am trying to generate a regular PWM signal using TIM1 CH1N on the STM32-F411RE (pin PA7). I've seen a few posts on generating PWM using the advanced timers but nothing has seemed to work.

The code below is the automatically generated code called in the main, and afterwards I call HAL_TIM_PWM_Start(&htim1, TIM_CHANNEL_1).

I set the pulse to 0 expecting there to be a constant low output from the pin but the output seems to be constantly high. I have changed the pulse around but the output stays the same.

Help is Apreciated!

Thanks!

Read out and check/post the timer and relevant GPIO registers' content.

Hello !

The complementary output is a "advanced" feature, you must use the dedicated function to start it : HAL_TIMEx_PWMN_Start

best regards.

Hello,

You use these functions to start a complimentary function.

HAL_TIM_PWM_Start(&htim1, TIM_CHANNEL_1);

HAL_TIMEx_PWMN_Start(&htim1, TIM_CHANNEL_1);

Some people think that they are helping or that they are better than others but they actually should not spend their time in forums like this one.
