Reading two PWM signals using only two channels.

[EmbeddedPepe]

Hi!

Library used: Standard Peripheral Library (Yea, I must use this one)

Hardware:

• Test bench that can generate two pwm signals ( A and B )
• Cable that connects the test bench to the other board
• Other board that should read the signal, delivered by the cable, and detect the pwm duty cycle and frequency (one for A and one for B).

PORT D PIN 12 Tim4 Channel 1 PORT D PIN 13 Tim4 Channel 2

The test bench frequency/PWM generation is working properly so nothing to debug.

The hardware and cable connections are correct (we already triple-checked them )

The problem arises on the other board: The duty cycle calculated seems to point to only one signal, so if I disconnect the cable of the other signal I still manage to calculate the two duty cycles, meanwhile should go to zero.

Capture/Compare Interrupt code:

void TIM4_IRQHandler( void )
{
    if (TIM_GetITStatus(TIM4, TIM_IT_CC1) != RESET) {
        tmyPWMInput *pPWM4_1 = &myCTRL.myHW.myPortDCfg.myPWM4_1; //PIN12
                          // Clear TIM8 Capture Compare1 interrupt pending bit
        TIM_ClearITPendingBit(TIM4, TIM_IT_CC1);

        pPWM4_1->HighPeriod = TIM_GetCapture1(TIM4);       // length of high-portion
        pPWM4_1->FullPeriod = TIM_GetCapture2(TIM4);                 // total period
        myPWMCalc(pPWM4_1); //Calculate the frequency and duty cycle
    }

    if (TIM_GetITStatus(TIM4, TIM_IT_CC2) != RESET) {
        tmyPWMInput *pPWM4_2 = &myCTRL.myHW.myPortDCfg.myPWM4_2; //PIN13
                          // Clear TIM8 Capture Compare1 interrupt pending bit
        TIM_ClearITPendingBit(TIM4, TIM_IT_CC2);

        pPWM4_2->HighPeriod = TIM_GetCapture1(TIM4);       // length of high-portion
        pPWM4_2->FullPeriod = TIM_GetCapture2(TIM4);                 // total period
        myPWMCalc(pPWM4_2); //Calculate the frequency and duty cycle
    }
}

How do I read the two different PWM Signals Duty Cycle I receive from the test bench using only two channels of the same timer? ( the frequency get measured correctly)

Output I get: The two duty cycle i calculate are equal because they point to the same frequency signal, so If I disconnect the cable of the other signal I still read two PWM duty cycles.

What I'm supposed to see: duty cycles similar-ish and when i disconnect one signal the duty cycle of the disconnected signal should go to zero.
