STM32U585: Generate two separate PWM signals

[ProNet36]

Hello,

 

I have a STM32U585CIUA and generate a PWM with 125Hz 2ms high and 6ms low phase on TIM1 on PA2.

I would like to start another PWM with TIM2 50Khz 1us high and 19us low on the falling edge of PA2, which is then stopped after 200 cycles.

In all my setting attempts, however, TIM2 starts before TIM no matter how it is configured and even if I set the HAL for TIM2 after TIM1 in the code...

Can anyone help me with this?

Dave

I don't see any code actually starting the timers.

You could set one timer as a slave that gets started when the first timer starts.

Hi,

attached function hows start the PWM's...

No matter what I do or set, Timer 2 always starts first... :(

 

void LEDDecay_CaptureAndAverage(void)
{
 // 1) Summen-Puffer löschen
 for (uint16_t i = 0; i < DECAY_POINTS; i++) {
 sumBuffer[i] = 0;
 }

 for (uint8_t rep = 0; rep < DECAY_REPEATS; rep++) {
 decayDone = false;

 // 2) LEDs via TIM1-PWM einschalten (erster OC1REF → TRGO2)
 HAL_GPIO_WritePin(GPIOA, GPIO_PIN_11, GPIO_PIN_SET);
 HAL_GPIO_WritePin(GPIOB, GPIO_PIN_0, GPIO_PIN_SET);
 HAL_TIM_PWM_Start(&htim1, TIM_CHANNEL_1);

 // 3) TIM2 als Slave-Reset & Sampling starten
 __HAL_TIM_SET_COUNTER(&htim2, 0);
 HAL_TIM_Base_Start(&htim2);
 HAL_TIM_PWM_Start(&htim2, TIM_CHANNEL_3); // Debug-Puls auf PA2

 // 4) ADC1 + DMA starten (200 Samples via TIM2_TRGO)
 HAL_ADC_Start_DMA(&hadc1, (uint32_t*)decayBuffer, DECAY_POINTS);

 // 5) Warten auf DMA-Complete
 while (!decayDone) {
 __WFI();
 }
 decayDone = false;

 // 6) Cleanup nach Messreihe
 HAL_ADC_Stop_DMA(&hadc1);
 HAL_TIM_PWM_Stop(&htim2, TIM_CHANNEL_3);
 HAL_TIM_Base_Stop(&htim2);
 HAL_TIM_PWM_Stop(&htim1, TIM_CHANNEL_1);
 HAL_GPIO_WritePin(GPIOA, GPIO_PIN_11, GPIO_PIN_RESET);
 HAL_GPIO_WritePin(GPIOB, GPIO_PIN_0, GPIO_PIN_RESET);

 // 7) Werte aufsummieren
 for (uint16_t i = 0; i < DECAY_POINTS; i++) {
 sumBuffer[i] += decayBuffer[i];
 }
 }

 // 8) Durchschnitt berechnen
 for (uint16_t i = 0; i < DECAY_POINTS; i++) {
 avgBuffer[i] = (uint16_t)(sumBuffer[i] / DECAY_REPEATS);
 }
 decayDone = true;
}

Hi 

[rcoleman99]

You need to call HAL_TIM_Base_Start(&htim1) before HAL_TIM_PWM_Start(&htim1, TIM_CHANNEL_1).
