[Solved] Use timer for precise interrupt

[Step73]

Code: Select all

timerBase->setMode(2, TIMER_OUTPUT_COMPARE);

as the first timerBase line.

So why this line was removed in the example?

It is required for v1.8.0 of the core.
It will not be needed for higher version.
I guess you use the STM32Examples master not the last official release which does not contains this update.
In a general way you have to use the release version of the archive.
Else if you have to use the repo master, you have to use it for all (core, libraries,...)

You're right, but I see nothing but the master branch on STM32Example repo.
Anyway, even adding this line it still does not work.

Here the updated code:

Code: Select all

#define LED_RED 1 // was already defined elsewhere

void setup()
{

  pinMode(LED_RED, OUTPUT); 
  digitalWrite(LED_RED, HIGH);

  TIM_TypeDef *Instance = TIM1;
  //TIM_TypeDef *Instance = TIM2;
  //TIM_TypeDef *Instance = TIM3;
  HardwareTimer *timerBase = new HardwareTimer(Instance);   
  timerBase->setMode(1, TIMER_OUTPUT_COMPARE, NC);
  //timerBase->setMode(1, TIMER_OUTPUT_COMPARE);
  //timerBase->setMode(2, TIMER_OUTPUT_COMPARE);
  timerBase->setOverflow(5, HERTZ_FORMAT);
  timerBase->attachInterrupt(timer_callback);
  timerBase->resume();
}

void loop()
{
}

void timer_callback(HardwareTimer *)
{
  digitalWrite(LED_RED, !digitalRead(LED_RED));
}

I would not give up and using the 1 ms interrupt. I need to control some steppers and I want to interrupt the main code only when necessary. Of course I'm toggling a pin just to be sure the callback is fired (now it isn't). Once fixed, I will put other code there.

FIXED!!!

I don't know why, but I had to delete the build directory and rebuild all.
Now it works... thanks a lot guys.

If you just help me how to find the 1.8.0 branch of the examples repo I will try to follow them precisely next time

1.8.0 is the version of the core. This is not the same than the STM32Examples library version.
