How To Install Using Arduino Library Manager
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 configurable and limited at 1000Hz, which is suitable for many real-life applications.
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.
Changelog
Initial Releases v1.0.0
1. Initial coding to support STM32F/L/H/G/WB/MP1 boards such as NUCLEO_H743ZI2, NUCLEO_L552ZE_Q, NUCLEO_F767ZI, BLUEPILL_F103CB, etc., using Arduino Core for STM32
2. The hybrid ISR-based PWM channels can generate from very low (much less than 1Hz) to highest PWM frequencies up to 1000Hz with acceptable accuracy.
