STM32 External Interrupts and Timer Basics
Interrupt Fundamentals
An interrupt is a mechanism that temporarily suspends the main program execution when a specific interrupt condition is triggered. The CPU pauses the current task, executes an interrupt service routine (ISR), and then returns to continue the main program from where it left off.
Interrupt Priority
When multiple interrupt s ...

Understanding SG90 Servo Motors and PWM Control Implementation
Introduction to SG90 Servo Motors
The SG90 is a compact positional servo motor designed for applications requiring precise angular positioning and holding capabilities. Servo mechanisms, derived from the Greek word for "slave," are systems that follow external commands to achieve desired motion parameters including position, velocity, ...

Implementing Non-blocking Button Input Management on STM32
Developing responsive user interfaces on embedded systems requires decoupling hardware interaction from the main execution loop. In an STM32 environment, specifically using an STM32F103C8T6, direct register manipulation allows for lightweight input handling without the overhead of heavy abstraction layers. The following approach demonstrates ho ...

STM32 Timer Operations: PWM Generation and Input Capture
Pulse Width Modulation (PWM) Overview
PWM is a technique used to simulate analog signal levels by modulating the width of digital pulses. In control applications, such as motor speed regulation, the duty cycle dictates the average power delivered to the load. By rapidly swithcing the output state, the system effectively manages the average volt ...

Understanding GPIO, LED, and Buzzer Control in Microcontrollers
GPIO (General Purpose Input/Output)
GPIO pins are versatile pins on microcontrollers that can be configured as either inputs or outputs to interface with various electronic components.
GPIO Configuration Modes
Floating Input: The pin is left unconnected, which can lead to unpredictable states due to noise. Not recommended for practical applica ...

Voltage Tracking, UART Control and Temperature-Based PWM Regulation Implementation for STM32
Periodic Voltage Sampling
ADC voltage sampling is triggered every 100ms via timer interrutp:
void HAL_TIM_PeriodElapsedCallback(TIM_HandleTypeDef *htim)
{
if(htim->Instance == TIM1)
{
read_adc_voltage();
}
}
ADC configuration is omitted here, the sampling function witth averaging filtering is implemented as follows:
