Example Description

This example illustrates how to use the STM32F0xx new RTC's sub-seconds and Tamper feature (Filter, sampling) features. It simulates a precise chronometer with 2 record times possibilities stored in the Backup registers (2 registers for time (second, minutes and hours) and 2 registers for subsecond).

For this example an interactive human interface is developed using LCD and Push Buttons to allow user to use StopWatch with real time display.

After startup, a default 00:00:00:000 chronometer counter is displayed on the LCD, it corresponds to [Hours]:[minutes]:[seconds]:[milliseconds]. User can manipulate the chronometer features using Joystick LEFT, RIGHT and Tamper buttons:

• press Joystick LEFT button to start counter.
• press Joystick RIGHT button to save trials in the backup registers (max 5 actions).
• press and hold Tamper button for 1 sec to reset all the backup registers.

Note:

The "system_stm32f0xx.c" is generated by an automatic clock configuration tool and can be easily customized to meet user application requirements. To select different clock setup, use the "STM32F0xx_Clock_Configuration_VX.Y.Z.xls" provided with the AN4055 package available on ST Microcontrollers

Hardware and Software environment

• This example runs on STM32F0xx devices.

• This example has been tested with STMicroelectronics STM320518-EVAL and STM32072B-EVAL including respectively STM32F051R8T6 and STM32F072VBT6 devices and can be easily tailored to any other supported device and development board

• STM320518-EVAL Set-up
  • Use Joystick LEFT and RIGHT button
  • Use Tamper button

• STM32072B-EVAL Set-up
  • Use Joystick LEFT and RIGHT button
  • Use Tamper button

How to use it ?
