[SOLVED] Having Trouble with Tim1

[SOLVED]

Hi

I'm Pretty new to stm and i want to communicate to 4 ESC's.

I have the STM32F446VET and am using TIM1-4 each with channel 1.

  /* USER CODE BEGIN TIM4_Init 2 */
 
  /* USER CODE END TIM4_Init 2 */
  HAL_TIM_MspPostInit(&htim4);
 
}

this is the configuration by CubeMx.

My method for Setting the pulse value:

void MSetValue(TIM_HandleTypeDef* htim, uint16_t value)
{
    TIM_OC_InitTypeDef sConfigOC = {0};
 
    sConfigOC.OCMode = TIM_OCMODE_PWM1;
    sConfigOC.Pulse = value;
    sConfigOC.OCPolarity = TIM_OCPOLARITY_HIGH;
    sConfigOC.OCFastMode = TIM_OCFAST_DISABLE;
    HAL_TIM_PWM_ConfigChannel(htim, &sConfigOC, TIM_CHANNEL_1);
    HAL_TIM_PWM_Start(htim, TIM_CHANNEL_1);
}

It works for TIM2-4 but not on TIM1. I am trying to do a 20ms cycle with 1060us to 1860us on time(according to the datasheet of the ESC) according to the param value and repeat this indefinitely

since TIM1 is an advanced timer it has a lot more configuration possible.

Thanks and yours

Marco

EDIT: @Community member​ made changes

EDIT 2: i hooked up an oscilliscope and found out, that somehow Tim2-4 and the Tim 1 use different Clocks. When I used a prescaler of 150 (double the one of Tim2-4) it worked.

Well I do not own an oscilloscope and then went to a hackerspace to take a look at it.
