L432KC - Encoder not counting?

HMorg.1 · ‎2023-03-10

I am trying to use a Nucleo L432KC board's hardware timers with a rotary encoder. Specifically I am trying to use TIM1, pins PA8 (D9) and PA9 (D1). I was originally hoping to use PlatformIO and the gianni-carbone/STM32encoder library, but when I couldn't get that working I jumped over to STM32CubeIDE. But even in CubeIDE I still cannot get this working.

I have verified my encoder is giving 3.3V pulses using a scope. My code from main.c in CubeIDE is below... Can anyone help out? The CNT register just sits at 0 all the time.

Sometimes when i get into my car and wonder why doesn't the car doesn't go? Then i realized i forgot to start the car.:grinning_face:

if(HAL_TIM_Encoder_Start(&htim1, TIM_CHANNEL_1  |  TIM_CHANNEL_2) != HAL_OK)
	{
		Error_Handler();
	}

Also change your sizeof to strlen

HAL_UART_Transmit(&huart2, (uint8_t*)message, strlen(message), 100);

I was told that if a devices starts to smoke, put the smoke back in. I guess I never got all the smoke because the device never worked afterwards.
Don't worry, I won't byte.

Thank you so much! I don't know how I missed that, but that fixed it. Good catch on the strlen as well.

Now I have a working example so I can try to debug the Arduino library I was initially going to use...
