Timer16 PWM Not Working

I am using an STM32F072B-DISCO. I am trying to get a PWM on pin A6 using timer 16. The timer seems to be counting as expected, but there is no output on A6.

Here is my code:

    RCC_AHBPeriphClockCmd(RCC_AHBPeriph_GPIOA, ENABLE);

    RCC_APB2PeriphClockCmd(RCC_APB2Periph_TIM16, ENABLE);

    GPIO_InitStruct.GPIO_Pin = GPIO_Pin_6;

    GPIO_InitStruct.GPIO_Mode = GPIO_Mode_AF;    GPIO_InitStruct.GPIO_OType = GPIO_OType_PP;    GPIO_InitStruct.GPIO_PuPd = GPIO_PuPd_NOPULL;    GPIO_InitStruct.GPIO_Speed = GPIO_Speed_50MHz;    GPIO_Init(GPIOA, &GPIO_InitStruct);        GPIO_PinAFConfig(GPIOA, GPIO_PinSource6, GPIO_AF_5);    TIM_TimeBaseStructInit(&TIM_TimeBaseInitStruct);    TIM_TimeBaseInitStruct.TIM_Period = 480;   //LED Intensity. Frequnecy (100kHz)    TIM_TimeBaseInitStruct.TIM_Prescaler = 0;    TIM_TimeBaseInit(TIM16, &TIM_TimeBaseInitStruct);      TIM_OCStructInit(&TIM_OCInit);    TIM_OCInit.TIM_OCMode = TIM_OCMode_PWM1;    TIM_OCInit.TIM_OutputState = TIM_OutputState_Enable;    TIM_OCInit.TIM_OCPolarity = TIM_OCPolarity_High;    TIM_OCInit.TIM_Pulse = 48;    TIM_OC1Init(TIM16, &TIM_OCInit);        TIM_Cmd(TIM16, ENABLE);

Can someone tell me why A6 does not have an output?

You have to set TIM16_BDTR.MOE.

Thanks for the reply, unfortunately, it didn't work.

I added the following line before TIM_Cmd():

TIM16->BDTR |= TIM_BDTR_MOE;

I also tried adding the following line after TIM_Cmd():

 TIM_CtrlPWMOutputs(TIM16, ENABLE);

Just like before, I can see the timer counting in the debugger, but there is no output on A6.

I can't find any sample code for timer 16. I have tried using cube to generate LL PWM code, but nothing it generates puts out anything on any timer (not even the ones I already have working).

Does anyone have any other ideas, or can someone provide an example?

Thanks Clive. The open SB29 was the problem. I need to pay closer attention to the schematics.

Check SB29
