Ok, so I'm looking at testing pump speed control with Tim3 and got confused and lonely trying to understand how these parameters actually work.

- PWM Control
100 Tim3_Presc 1 72000 719 Only used if CP Spoof and GS450h Oil pump output is not used
101 Tim3_Period 1 100000 7200 Only used if CP Spoof and GS450h Oil pump output is not used
102 Tim3_1_OC 1 100000 3600 Only used if CP Spoof and GS450h Oil pump output is not used
103 Tim3_2_OC 1 100000 3600 Only used if CP Spoof and GS450h Oil pump output is not used
104 Tim3_3_OC 1 100000 3600 Only used if CP Spoof and GS450h Oil pump output is not used

Soo after some searching this was closest to an explanation I was able to find, but really left me wondering.

set Tim3_Presc to 8999, and Tim3_Period to 3999. Duty cycle is controlled with Tim3_x_OC, where x is 1 to 3. 1000 gives 25% duty cycle, 2000 gives 50%, 3000 75% etc.

Dug through some STM32 application notes (AN4019, AN4776) and stared at Zombieverter source code and maybe I got this

So If I understand it correctly, this royhen99 example is setting a 2Hz update period for Tesla pump, correct?

Looking at the application notes got me thinking about how to go through this so it would be understandable.

We want to have 2Hz PWM frequency, which can be used to calculate the needed params TIM3_Presc and Tim3_Period

Prescaler is used to set counter clock frequency, this is arbitrary, but you'll probably want the counter to run at kHz level say 100kHz.
System core clock for STM32 used in Zombieverter is 72MHz
Tim3_presc = (System core clock/counter frequency)-1 --> (72 000 000 / 100 000)-1 = 719

PWM Period can now be calculated
Tim3_Period = (Counter frequency / PWM period)-1 --> (100 000/ 2)-1 = 49999

Now we can decide the duty % and apply. Lets try 30%
Tim3_X_OC = duty % * PWM period --> 0,3* 50 000 = 15000

The the duty % adjustment for PWM outputs work if they aren't assigned for another use (i.e. CP spoof)
Tim3_1_OC = duty % on PWM 1
Tim3_2_OC = duty % on PWM 2
Tim3_3_OC = duty % on PWM 3

On royhen99 example counter clock is 8kHz, but otherwise the math works.

Did I get this right?

get a scope out and verify it

or even just an okay multimeter. I struggled to do the math until Roy suggested how to set it up and thats now how the Zombie is setup.

No, if any PWM output is used for a dedicated output the frequency (so divider and period) for all 3 are fixed. But yes you can adjust pwm duty

To get 1kHz it currently does:

Code: Select all

timer_set_period(TIM3, 3999);
        timer_set_oc_value(TIM3, TIM_OC1, 1);//No duty set here
        timer_set_oc_value(TIM3, TIM_OC2, 1);//No duty set here
        timer_set_oc_value(TIM3, TIM_OC3, 1);//No duty set here
        timer_set_prescaler(TIM3,17);

So duty is %x40 to set it.

I would like to run these pumps from zombie too. Where to start in the SW and how to integrate? Zombie IO (without temp set points) or hard coding temp logic like X °C / °F = 60% Duty Cycle ?

First try can be just to use the PWM outputs and its parameters to get the 2hz output and then tweak the duty cycle to see if it works.

No need for any code changes to run a fixed PWM duty and frequency, if you do not configure any PWM functions

Sounds good. I'll try that out and report if successful.
Shouldn't be a problem if 2Hz is possible.

What would be the "right" way (or position in code) to implement a temperature set point feature?

I know I asked a lot of those questions lately but I really want to learn about the OI environment so one day I can start to contribute code to it. Hope you don't mind ....

Write code for it, you can make it as interactive and configurable as you want. Have a look at functions/parameters that do something similar.

"easy example"
Param Output Function: CoolingFan
Param: FanTemp

So many options, for testing don't worry about it. just do it manually.

That's something I can work with. Thank you for the explanation.
