Library 48- Measure PWM input signal with STM32F4

First library in 2015 is here. With it, you will be able to measure PWM input signal from “other world”. STM32F4’s timers have capability to make an interrupt on edge, when signal is active on input pin for specific timer. This allows us, to measure signal in input. With a simple calculations, we can detect frequency of signal and duty cycle. Of course, this is not veery accurate, but with 168MHz F407 device, using 32bit TIM2 (high resolution) I got...

Library 42- Control RC servo with STM32F4

Library 42 allows you to simple connect and interface RC servo motors with STM32F4. They are small, cheap motors, commonly used for RC (Radio Control), small scale robotics and more. Servos are really simple to interface. They expect 50Hz signal on the input. According to the pulse length (duty cycle) they rotate between 0 and 180 degrees. If signal has 1ms pulse length, motor rotation will be 0 degrees and if signal has 2ms length, then it will have 180degrees rotation. Any pulse length...

Library 33- PWM for STM32F4

I had enough of each time configuring PWM for some reason, so I decided to make a library for it. This library allows you to use PWM signal on all possible timers on all possible pins for timer. I made it for controling servos, but it can be used for anything else. PWM works in FAST PWM mode. You just set your PWM frequency, timer you will use, channel on timer and you are ready to go. If you need...

All STM32F4 tutorials

Sometime I made a tutorial how to work with something on STM32F4xx device, because is hard and pointless to make library for it for any reason. Tutorials are set to work at least with STM32F4xx devices. Tutorials NR Name Description 1 FIRST TIME First time with STM32F429 Discovery.

All STM32F4 libraries

Because there is a lot of libraries I have done, I will make a table with all of my libraries at one place. When new library will be created, it will be posted here. These libraries work on both Discovery boards, if not, it will be specified. Actually, libraries should work on STM32F4xx series of microcontrollers if they have peripherals that are need for library. All STM32F4xx MCUs don’t have everything inside. 🙂 Libraries are tested on my 4 STM32F4...

STM32F4 PWM tutorial with TIMERs

In this tutorial, I will show you, how to implement PWM outputs on STM32F4xx devices. This is for a lot of people pretty hard work, but believe me, it’s quite quick and easy. I will go step by step on how to make a PWM output on specific timer. Update: I made a library for PWM, available here. STM32F4 timers They have up to 14 timers inside. Table below shows their description. You have to know, that let’s say F401 doesn’t...
