By default the timer is clocked by the internal clock provided by the rcc.
Stm32 external clock source mode 1.
The external clock timer is divided in two categories.
The rcc register then defines the internal clock source for the timer.
Where the timer gets clocked from an external source input pin and it counts the number of pulses.
This document covers the general purpose ones.
This code makes my stm32 board sense two rising edges before invoking an interrupt and toggling a led connected to gpioc 6 pin.

3 the external clock mode 2.
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.
I m a little confused about how the clock souce is determined in mbed for the nucleo devices.
Here i connected a button to stimulate the external clock source.
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.
I know by default the st link on the same board as the nucleo s will provide a 8mhz mco output which is used as the hse clock.
In timer mode the timer module gets clocked from an internal clock source with a known frequency.
Mikroc pro for arm general.
Stm32 counter mode lab preface as we ve discussed in an earlier tutorial the timer modules can operate in counter mode.
Say you break off the st link part of the nucleo board.
Select the external input as the clock see block diagram.
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.
However stm32 timer modules do have multiple modes for the counting mode itself.
