Hi! I modified the following program to get a pulse of 5V and 40kHz of frequency. I tried it in an oscilloscope and I get a 4V pulse and 12,8kHz frequency. What is wrong in the code??
#include ''stm32f4xx.h''
#include ''stm32f4xx_rcc.h''
#include ''stm32f4xx_gpio.h''

/*
Set timer prescaler
Timer count frequency is set with
timer_tick_frequency = Timer_default_frequency / (prescaller_set + 1)
In our case, we want a max frequency for timer, so we set prescaller to 0

timer_tick_frequency = 84000000 / (0 + 1) = 84000000
*/
TIM_BaseStruct.TIM_Prescaler = 0;

TIM_BaseStruct.TIM_CounterMode = TIM_CounterMode_Up;
/*
Set timer period when it have reset
First you have to know max value for timer
In our case it is 16bit = 65535
To get your frequency for PWM, equation is simple
PWM_frequency = timer_tick_frequency / (TIM_Period + 1)
If you know your PWM frequency you want to have timer period set correct
TIM_Period = timer_tick_frequency / PWM_frequency - 1
In our case, for 40Khz PWM_frequency, set Period to
TIM_Period = 84000000 / 40000 - 1 = 2099
If you get TIM_Period larger than max timer value (in our case 65535),
you have to choose larger prescaler and slow down timer tick frequency

TIM_OCStruct.TIM_OCMode = TIM_OCMode_PWM2;
TIM_OCStruct.TIM_OutputState = TIM_OutputState_Enable;
TIM_OCStruct.TIM_OCPolarity = TIM_OCPolarity_Low;
/*
To get proper duty cycle, you have simple equation
pulse_length = ((TIM_Period + 1) * DutyCycle) / 100 - 1

12.8 KHz because you haven't set the HSE_VALUE and PLL settings correctly for your board. Looks to be assuming you have a 25 MHz source, but you really have an 8 MHz one.
4V would probably do with loading, and how aggressively you're pulling up the output. Think potential divider.2015-03-20 03:45 AM
So how do I have to configure the HSE_VALUE and PLL settings?
Thank you for response2015-03-20 05:26 AM
HSE_VALUE is often defined in stm32f4xx_conf.h for the project, and the PLL settings in system_stm32f4xx.c
For examples of these files/settings review the examples in thehttp://www.st.com/web/en/catalog/tools/PF257904
. The red download button at the bottom....
/* Define to prevent recursive inclusion -------------------------------------*/
#ifndef __STM32F4xx_CONF_H
#define __STM32F4xx_CONF_H
#if defined (HSE_VALUE)
/* Redefine the HSE value; it's equal to 8 MHz on the STM32F4-DISCOVERY Kit */
#undef HSE_VALUE
#define HSE_VALUE ((uint32_t)8000000)
#endif /* HSE_VALUE */
...
/* PLL_VCO = (HSE_VALUE or HSI_VALUE / PLL_M) * PLL_N */
#define PLL_M 8
#define PLL_N 336

Thank you very much! I made it.

Hi Clive, one more question. Now that I have a timer making a pulse indefinitely I would like to configure another timer that control the first timer. The idea is that the new timer let me to do for example, pulses for 1 sec and then stop for 10 sec and then again pulses for 1 sec.....
Can you help me please? Thanky you very much2015-03-23 09:35 AM
Quick blind example, using a single timer, with modulating output.

That looks good! But actually the pulses need to be very precise. I'm using this to create an ultrasonic sensor and calculate some distances, so I should configure the ''hardware'' not ''software'' (code). I read in some posts that maybe the solution is the slave mode, buy I don't know how that works.
Thank you very much
