Can operate in counter mode
- As we’ve discussed in an earlier tutorial, the timer modules can operate in counter mode. Where the timer gets clocked from an external source (input pin) and it counts the number of pulses. However, STM32 timer modules do have multiple modes for the counting mode itself.

Configure the general-purpose timer (TIM2) to operate in counter mode. Set The Preload value to 20, so the counter overflows after 20 ticks and generates an interrupt. Set The Timer input GPIO pin. Configure the USART1 module to print the counter ticks value for monitoring it.
A timer module can also operate in a counter mode where the clock source is not known, it’s actually an external signal. Maybe from a push button, so the counter gets incremented every rising or falling edge from the button press.
You can use the Timer in Counter Mode to count the number of pulses generated by external devices or sensors. For instance, you can count the number of revolutions of a motor shaft, the number of pulses from an encoder, or the number of times a button is pressed.
When configuring the STM32 Blue Pill timer module in counter mode, an external source such as the timer input pin clocks the timer module. The timer can count up/down on every rising/falling edge of the timer input pin.
Timer is used to generate delay and counter is for counting external events. There is small line between timer and counter which differentiate them. T imer/Counter module has internal counter register, which plays an important role.

This academy introduces the basics of using the Timer_A module in counter mode to perform basic timer applications and is demonstrated on a MSP-EXP430FR2433 LaunchPad. In the tasks below, you will configure the MCU and setup the timer to use an interrupt service routine (ISR) triggered when the timer overflows as well as learn how to calculate ...
Aug 17, 2020 · A timer (sometimes referred to as a counter) is a special piece of hardware inside many microcontrollers. Their function is simple: they count (up or down, depending on the configuration--we'll assume up for now). For example, an 8-bit timer will count from 0 to 255. Most timers will “roll over” once they reach their max value.
