This document covers the general purpose ones.
Stm32 external clock source mode 1.
By default the timer is clocked by the internal clock provided by the rcc.
Stm32 counter mode lab preface as we ve discussed in an earlier tutorial the timer modules can operate in counter mode.

This code makes my stm32 board sense two rising edges before invoking an interrupt and toggling a led connected to gpioc 6 pin.
However stm32 timer modules do have multiple modes for the counting mode itself.
Mikroc pro for arm general.
The external clock timer is divided in two categories.
Hello all i ve been fighting for 2 days with a stm32f4 discovery board to get the timer 3 counting properly in external counting mode 2 but i can t figure out what s wrong in my code or in the mcu config.
As can be seen from fig etr can be directly used as the clock input can also trigger input trgi as a clock input the clock mode 1 trigger source is selected as the etr two effects are the same it looks like this external clock mode useless in fact is.
Here i connected a button to stimulate the external clock source.
Where the timer gets clocked from an external source input pin and it counts the number of pulses.
Note gpioa 0 pin is used as the input of the external clock source.
In timer mode the timer module gets clocked from an internal clock source with a known frequency.
Hence the clocking frequency is known the overflow time can also be calculated and controlled by the preload register to get any arbitrarily chosen time interval.
Say you break off the st link part of the nucleo board.
To select this clock source the timx smcr sms if present bits should be reset.
An4776 basic operating modes of stm32 general purpose timers 71 1 basic operating modes of stm32 general purpose timers 1 1 introduction all of the stm32 microcontroller embeds at least one timer peripheral and some of them embed more than one type of timer peripherals.
Select the external input as the clock see block diagram.
The rcc register then defines the internal clock source for the timer.
