Why do we need this STM32_Slow_PWM library
This library enables you to use Hardware Timers on STM32F/L/H/G/WB/MP1 boards such as NUCLEO_H743ZI2, NUCLEO_L552ZE_Q, NUCLEO_F767ZI, BLUEPILL_F103CB, etc., to create and output PWM to pins. Because this library doesn't use the powerful hardware-controlled PWM with limitations, the maximum PWM frequency is currently limited at 1000Hz, which is suitable for many real-life applications. Now you can also modify PWM settings on-the-fly.
This library enables you to use Interrupt from Hardware Timers on STM32F/L/H/G/WB/MP1 boards to create and output PWM to pins. It now supports 16 ISR-based synchronized PWM channels, while consuming only 1 Hardware Timer. PWM interval can be very long (uint32_t millisecs). The most important feature is they're ISR-based PWM channels. Therefore, their executions are not blocked by bad-behaving functions or tasks. This important feature is absolutely necessary for mission-critical tasks. These hardware PWM channels, using interrupt, still work even if other functions are blocking. Moreover, they are much more precise (certainly depending on clock frequency accuracy) than other software PWM using millis() or micros(). That's necessary if you need to measure some data requiring better accuracy.
As Hardware Timers are rare, and very precious assets of any board, this library now enables you to use up to 16 ISR-based synchronized PWM channels, while consuming only 1 Hardware Timer. Timers' interval is very long (ulong millisecs).
Now with these new 16 ISR-based PWM-channels, the maximum interval is practically unlimited (limited only by unsigned long miliseconds) while the accuracy is nearly perfect compared to software timers.
The most important feature is they're ISR-based PWM channels. Therefore, their executions are not blocked by bad-behaving functions / tasks. This important feature is absolutely necessary for mission-critical tasks.
The PWMs_Array_Complex example will demonstrate the nearly perfect accuracy, compared to software PWM, by printing the actual period / duty-cycle in microsecs of each of PWM-channels.
Being ISR-based PWM, their executions are not blocked by bad-behaving functions / tasks, such as connecting to WiFi, Internet or Blynk services. You can also have many (up to 16) timers to use.
This non-being-blocked important feature is absolutely necessary for mission-critical tasks.
You'll see software-based SimpleTimer is blocked while system is connecting to WiFi / Internet / Blynk, as well as by blocking task
in loop(), using delay() function as an example. The elapsed time then is very unaccurate
Imagine you have a system with a mission-critical function, measuring water level and control the sump pump or doing something much more important. You normally use a software timer to poll, or even place the function in loop(). But what if another function is blocking the loop() or setup().
So your function might not be executed, and the result would be disastrous.
You'd prefer to have your function called, no matter what happening with other functions (busy loop, bug, etc.).
The correct choice is to use a Hardware Timer with Interrupt to call your function.
These hardware timers, using interrupt, still work even if other functions are blocking. Moreover, they are much more precise (certainly depending on clock frequency accuracy) than other software timers using millis() or micros(). That's necessary if you need to measure some data requiring better accuracy.
Functions using normal software timers, relying on loop() and calling millis(), won't work if the loop() or setup() is blocked by certain operation. For example, certain function is blocking while it's connecting to WiFi or some services.
The catch is your function is now part of an ISR (Interrupt Service Routine), and must be lean / mean, and follow certain rules. More to read on:
- STM32F/L/H/G/WB/MP1 boards such as NUCLEO_H743ZI2, NUCLEO_L552ZE_Q, NUCLEO_F767ZI, BLUEPILL_F103CB, etc., using
Arduino Core for STM32
-
Inside the attached function, delay() won’t work and the value returned by millis() will not increment. Serial data received while in the function may be lost. You should declare as volatile any variables that you modify within the attached function.
-
Typically global variables are used to pass data between an ISR and the main program. To make sure variables shared between an ISR and the main program are updated correctly, declare them as volatile.

To use with certain example
The best and easiest way is to use Arduino Library Manager. Search for STM32_Slow_PWM, then select / install the latest version.
You can also use this link
Another way to install is to:
- Navigate to STM32_Slow_PWM page.
- Download the latest release
STM32_Slow_PWM-master.zip. - Extract the zip file to
STM32_Slow_PWM-masterdirectory - Copy whole
STM32_Slow_PWM-masterfolder to Arduino libraries' directory such as~/Arduino/libraries/.
- Install VS Code
- Install PlatformIO
- Install STM32_Slow_PWM library by using Library Manager. Search for STM32_Slow_PWM in Platform.io Author's Libraries
- Use included platformio.ini file from examples to ensure that all dependent libraries will installed automatically. Please visit documentation for the other options and examples at Project Configuration File
The Timers of STM32s are numerous, yet very sophisticated and powerful.
In general, across the STM32 microcontrollers families, the timer peripherals that have the same name also have the same features set, but there are a few exceptions.
For example, the TIM1 timer peripheral is shared across the STM32F1 Series, STM32F2 Series and STM32F4 Series, but for the specific case of STM32F30x microcontrollers family, the TIM1 timer peripheral features a bit richer features set than the TIM1 present in the other families.
The general purpose timers embedded by the STM32 microcontrollers share the same backbone structure; they differ only on the level of features embedded by a given timer peripheral.
The level of features integration for a given timer peripheral is decided based on the applications field that it targets.
The timer peripherals can be classified as: • Advanced-configuration timers like TIM1 and TIM8 among others. • General-purpose configuration timers like TIM2 and TIM3 among others • Lite-configuration timers like TIM9, TIM10, TIM12 and TIM16 among others • Basic-configuration timers like TIM6 and TIM7 among others.
For example, STM32F103C8T6 has one advance timer, while STM32F103VET6 has two advanced timers. Nucleo-144 STM32F767ZI boards have 14 Timers, TIM1-TIM14.
More information can be found at Embedded-Lab STM32 TIMERS
To be sure which Timer is available for the board you're using, check the Core Package's related files. For example, for Nucleo-144 STM32F767ZI, check these files:
~/.arduino15/packages/STM32/hardware/stm32/1.9.0/system/Drivers/CMSIS/Device/ST/STM32F7xx/Include/stm32f7xx.h~/.arduino15/packages/STM32/hardware/stm32/1.9.0/system/Drivers/CMSIS/Device/ST/STM32F7xx/Include/stm32f767xx.h

Because STM32 boards and Timers are numerous, changing and so complex, there can never be a complete and correct list of available Timers to use.
This is the temporary list for STM32F/L/H/G/WB/MP1 Timers which can possibly be used. The available Timers certainly depends on whether they are being used for other purpose (core, application, libraries, etc.) or not. You have to exhausively test, research, verify by yourself to be sure.
If exists, otherwise, compiler error will happen
TIM1, TIM4, TIM7, TIM8, TIM12, TIM13, TIM14, TIM15, TIM16, TIM17
TIM9, TIM10, TIM11. Only for STM32F2, STM32F4 or STM32L1
TIM18, TIM19, TIM20, TIM21, TIM22
TIM2, TIM3, TIM5, TIM6
Before using any Timer for a PWM channel, you have to make sure the Timer has not been used by any other purpose.
// Depending on the board, you can select STM32H7 Hardware Timer from TIM1-TIM22
// If you select a Timer not correctly, you'll get a message from compiler

Debug is enabled by default on Serial.
You can also change the debugging level _PWM_LOGLEVEL_ from 0 to 4
// Don't define _PWM_LOGLEVEL_ > 0. Only for special ISR debugging only. Can hang the system.
#define _PWM_LOGLEVEL_ 0If you get compilation errors, more often than not, you may need to install a newer version of the core for Arduino boards.
Sometimes, the library will only work if you update the board core to the latest version because I am using newly added functions.
