Question

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.

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.

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);
