Timers editor in progress!

[dbuezas]

Each time I need to do something non-trivial with timers, I have to spend hours with the datasheets. Hopefully there will be another way soon! :)

Visually it is extremely basic still. I may also visualise the behaviour of the outputs and the timer counter.

Internally, it computes the values of all registers, how they translate to behaviour and how they depend on each other. It works as a massive join of all register tables. As you select options, the incompatible ones go disabled and the ones that have no more alternatives get fixed.

If I can grasp them, I'll also add the lgt extra twists like dead time and shut down registers.

It's taking shape!
The only in-progress part now is the plot (I just put the screen shot of an experimental gsheet where I tested the timer data generating algorithm)

Oh, and it doesn't have dead time support yet.
There are already 16 internal tables per timer that are used by the constraint solver to find out what can you combined with what, what everything means for each register, and how to plot it

I remember seeing something like that somewhere.
SMT32cube software can generate codes like this for STM32 microcontrollers.
But I found tools for AVR.

or CodeVisionAVR

darn 😅... well, this is a webpage, and for lgt

The tool is finished and you can find it here by the way:
