I'm looking to measure 50/60Hz using TIM1 and pin PD7 as input has anyone an example of this?

Also I don't seem to be able to select the AFR4 in the STDV anyone have a clue why?

if you have a look on the datasheet

http://www.st.com/internet/com/TECHNICAL_RESOURCES/TECHNICAL_LITERATURE/DATASHEET/CD00197787.pdf

pag.32 note 5 you can see AFR4 is available only on 44-pin package devices. You can use TIM1_CH1 instead of TIM1_CH4 i.e. brazov2

Yes ment to say I'm using a 44pin device.

 Do I need to tell the programmer it's 44pin? Also when I'm using this pin as a input to the timer can I read it as a input?

yes, you must specify exact stm8s sales type in the programmer.

You can read pin status in GPIO_IDR register @5010h. brazov2

Thanks,

Any ideas on how to set up the timer just don't want to truge through the datasheet?

Thanks save me alot of time :)

It looked so simple but I tried it and it didn't work set the clock prescale to 8 max time out > 10ms.

I looked at the AFR4 but even though the programmer didnt let me see the alternative function I set it anyway but again nothing worked. I assume the SWIM doesn't over ride the option bytes after you use the programmer to program them? I assume the default setting for the other timer register dont need changing? I know the pin is changing as I set an external pin when it toggles but I don't know if the timer is seeing the change on the I/O.

example code below should be changed anyway to work..... Try to make it work with TIM1 IC1 (PC4 if i remember well) then rewrite it for TIM1 IC4 (PD7).In this case for IC1 on PC4 do the following port configuration. Also to debug it use break points in stvd

// *** GIO INIT ***

       GPIOD->CR1|= (u8)0x80;  // IC1 (PD.7) settings: Input pull-up

       GPIOD->DDR&=~(u8)0x80;
