I have configured timer 4 for PWM with following code and connected LED to the configured pin. It is working.
TIM_TimeBaseInitTypeDef TIM_BaseStruct;
RCC_APB1PeriphClockCmd(RCC_APB1Periph_TIM4, ENABLE); // Enable bus clock
TIM_BaseStruct.TIM_Prescaler = 0; // Set prescaler (frequency divider)
TIM_BaseStruct.TIM_CounterMode = TIM_CounterMode_CenterAligned1; // Set counting mode (up, down, center-aligned) to center aligned for better motor control
TIM_BaseStruct.TIM_Period = 4000; // Set timer period (timer reset/change direction value)
TIM_BaseStruct.TIM_ClockDivision = TIM_CKD_DIV1;
TIM_BaseStruct.TIM_RepetitionCounter = 0;
TIM_TimeBaseInit(TIM4, &TIM_BaseStruct); // Initialize timer with chosen settings
TIM_Cmd(TIM4, ENABLE); // Start timer
GPIO_InitTypeDef GPIO_InitStruct;
/* Clock for GPIOD */
RCC_AHB1PeriphClockCmd(RCC_AHB1Periph_GPIOD, ENABLE);
/* Alternating functions for pins */
GPIO_PinAFConfig(GPIOD, GPIO_PinSource12, GPIO_AF_TIM4);
/* Set pins */
GPIO_InitStruct.GPIO_Pin = GPIO_Pin_12;
GPIO_InitStruct.GPIO_OType = GPIO_OType_PP;
GPIO_InitStruct.GPIO_PuPd = GPIO_PuPd_NOPULL;
GPIO_InitStruct.GPIO_Mode = GPIO_Mode_AF;
GPIO_InitStruct.GPIO_Speed = GPIO_Speed_100MHz;
GPIO_Init(GPIOD, &GPIO_InitStruct);
TIM_OCInitTypeDef TIM_OCStruct;
TIM_OCStruct.TIM_OCMode = TIM_OCMode_PWM2;
TIM_OCStruct.TIM_OutputState = TIM_OutputState_Enable;
TIM_OCStruct.TIM_OCIdleState = TIM_OCIdleState_Reset;
TIM_OCStruct.TIM_OCPolarity = TIM_OCPolarity_Low;
TIM_OCStruct.TIM_Pulse = 1999;
TIM_OC1Init(TIM4, &TIM_OCStruct);
TIM_OC1PreloadConfig(TIM4, TIM_OCPreload_Enable);
but when I configured TIM 1 and connected LED to its pin, nothing happened (I tested pin separately by toggling it as output to make sure I connected LED to the right pin and it lit up)
TIM_TimeBaseInitTypeDef TIM_BaseStruct;
RCC_APB2PeriphClockCmd(RCC_APB2Periph_TIM1, ENABLE); // Enable bus clock
TIM_BaseStruct.TIM_Prescaler = 1; // Set prescaler (frequency divider)
TIM_BaseStruct.TIM_CounterMode = TIM_CounterMode_CenterAligned1; // Set counting mode (up, down, center-aligned) to center aligned for better motor control
TIM_BaseStruct.TIM_Period = 4000; // Set timer period (timer reset/change direction value)
TIM_BaseStruct.TIM_ClockDivision = TIM_CKD_DIV1;
TIM_BaseStruct.TIM_RepetitionCounter = 0;
TIM_TimeBaseInit(TIM1, &TIM_BaseStruct); // Initialize timer with chosen settings
TIM_Cmd(TIM1, ENABLE); // Start timer
GPIO_InitTypeDef GPIO_InitStruct;
/* Clock for GPIOE */
RCC_AHB1PeriphClockCmd(RCC_AHB1Periph_GPIOE, ENABLE);
/* Alternating functions for pins */
GPIO_PinAFConfig(GPIOE, GPIO_PinSource9, GPIO_AF_TIM1);
/* Set pins */
GPIO_InitStruct.GPIO_Pin = GPIO_Pin_9;
GPIO_InitStruct.GPIO_OType = GPIO_OType_PP;
GPIO_InitStruct.GPIO_PuPd = GPIO_PuPd_NOPULL;
GPIO_InitStruct.GPIO_Mode = GPIO_Mode_AF;
GPIO_InitStruct.GPIO_Speed = GPIO_Speed_100MHz;
GPIO_Init(GPIOE, &GPIO_InitStruct);
TIM_OCInitTypeDef TIM_OCStruct;
TIM_OCStruct.TIM_OCMode = TIM_OCMode_PWM2;
TIM_OCStruct.TIM_OutputState = TIM_OutputState_Enable;
TIM_OCStruct.TIM_OCIdleState = TIM_OCIdleState_Reset;
TIM_OCStruct.TIM_OCPolarity = TIM_OCPolarity_Low;
TIM_OCStruct.TIM_Pulse = 1999;
TIM_OC1Init(TIM1, &TIM_OCStruct);
TIM_OC1PreloadConfig(TIM1, TIM_OCPreload_Enable);
Is there something different I have to do about advanced timers to make them work with pwm? I also achieved success with TIM3 and TIM12 (which are general purpose timers), but not with TIM8 (which is also an advanced timer).
