Illustrated Guide to Timer Principles and Operating Modes

Project description

【Preliminary Note】The original hardware example in this article was written based on the RP2040. The actual hardware used in this hands-on demonstration features the W55RP20 as the main controller chip. The circuit logic and UF2 flashing operation principles are universally applicable, with only the main controller model differing. The original chip model mentioned in the circuit descriptions below is provided for reference purposes only. Timer 1. Introduction to Timers Imagine a scenario where we need to send data via the UART peripheral every 1 second, sample an external signal at equal…
