Updating timer capture registers

I will have a check what the maximum time delay is when using BLE by toggling a pin in main while(1) {}

Upon that I can probably make a workaround.

You may consider using the nRF52840, since that has 5 high frequency timers, but other than that I am not aware of any way to update the CC registers automatically, it need to be updated from the MCU.

Hello Kenneth,

I have considered using the PWM module but this does not have the functionality that I need. Two of the timer compares are connected to a GPIO using PPI and the other timer compares are used as triggers for software events.

As far as I can remember the PWM module does not have the flexibility with generating events as the timer does but I could be mistaken.

Kind regards,

T IJ

Hello,

There is no way to automatic update the timer compare/capture register no. Have you considered using the PWM instead?

Best regards,
Kenneth
