Posted on September 10, 2014 at 08:54Hi All,
I have a quadrature encoder interfaced to my STM32F427 using TIM2.
In encoder mode, TIM2 counts up in one direction of the motor but does not count up/down in the other direction.
I am adding my init code below, which I think is enough to get the encoder running (After going through STM32F4xx_StdPeriph_Driver and the forum here).
Notes:
1) I have verified the A and B channels of the enocder going into STM32F4. They are proper 90 degree out of phase with leading or lagging for each direction respectively.
2) In one direction, TIM2 counts up from 0 and the count values are as expected.
3) In the other direction, TIM2 count just oscillates between 0x00000000 and 0xFFFFFFFF (And sometimes gives the value of 0x00000001).
4) In the properly counting direction (2 above), I could see that DIR bit in TIM2->CR1 is stable at 0.
5) In the non-counting direction (3 above), DIR bit is unstable and oscillates between 1 and 0.

Any inputs or pointers for understanding this behavior will be really appreciated. Expecting your co-operation.
Thanks
