how to make delta time in mcu ?

Questions » how to make delta time in mcu ?

9 years, 9 months ago.

now i still work for make IMU with MPU6050

and in my reference code use deltat or we can say " delta time "

and in mbed it can get with use this code

Now = t.read_us(); deltat = (float)((Now - lastUpdate)/1000000.0f) ; set integration time by time elapsed since last filter update lastUpdate = Now; sum += deltat; sumCount++;

sum = 0; sumCount = 0;

until now i dont understand how can get it deltat, because i want port this code to my stm32 not use mbed

pliss help me

Almost all Cortex parts have a Systick peripheral which is located at the same memory location as it is part of the ARM CPU.

I use it to count to 65 msec, between resets, which also increments a longer time intervals, code below--

for 48 MHz
  #define SYSTICK_RELOAD_VAL 0x300000	//  48 * 0x10000	4799999
  #define SYSTICK_DIV(x)	(((x>>4)*0x5555)>>16)

for 120 MHz
  #define SYSTICK_RELOAD_VAL 0x780000	//	120 * 0x10000	11999999		
  #define SYSTICK_DIV(x)	(((x>>3)*0x1111)>>16)


void SysTick_Handler(void) {
	ms65_count++;                        // increment counter
}

void systick_init( void ) {
	// SysTick counter, interrupt every 65 ms
	SysTick->LOAD = SYSTICK_RELOAD_VAL-1;
	SysTick->VAL  = 0;
	SysTick->CTRL  = 4 | 2 | 1; //CLKSOURCE=CPU clock | TICKINT | ENABLE
	ms65_count = 0;
}

unsigned int micros( void )
{
	unsigned int Tick;
	unsigned int count;

    do {
		count = ms65_count;
        Tick = SysTick->VAL;
    } while (SysTick->CTRL & SysTick_CTRL_COUNTFLAG_Msk);

//	divides take a long time in terms of microseconds
//  return (count * 100000 + (SYSTICK_RELOAD_VAL+1 - Tick) / ( (SYSTICK_RELOAD_VAL+1) / 100000 )) & 0xffffffff ;//LPC111x
    return (count << 16) + (0x10000 - SYSTICK_DIV(Tick));
}

Hei thanks for answer, i think this code configuration Time with systick._{i use systick for my delay}

but in above my code calculate spent Time for processing ... So we have to calculate the Time not set the Time .

Call the micros() routine before and after an event, subtract the 2 numbers for elapsed time.

thanks for always reply for my problem

this is my code for delay

void TimingDelay_Decrement(void) { if (TimingDelay != 0) { TimingDelay~~; } }~~

void SysTick_Handler(void) { TimingDelay_Decrement(); }

void Delay_Init() { SysTick_Config(21000); SysTick_CLKSourceConfig(SysTick_CLKSource_HCLK_Div8); Delay_Interrupt(); }

and i want ask again .. can you give me for 168 Mhz ... because i use stm32f407VG

thanks

For 168 MHz

define SYSTICK_RELOAD_VAL 0xA80000
define SYSTICK_DIV(x) ((x*0x0186)>>16)

For longer times, or for more accuracy just read the Systick->VAL, take the difference and divide by 168, adjust for rollover if needed.

thanks again...

how you get 65 ms for interrupt ?? sorry iam newbie :D

posted by Septian Gusonela 31 Jul 2014

Systick is a 24 bit down counter that when it reaches 0 it reloads with SYSTICK_RELOAD_VAL -1 and interrupts, which in your case is 168 * 65535. That interrupt calls Systick_Handler which increments the ms65_count.

These values are chosen so that it is easy to combine them get a 32 bit microsecond counter, which can time upto 71 minutes.

sorry i ask again.. iam very poor newbie

yes i little understood about systick.. can you give me example that code interrupt every 1 ms

and stil dont undertand

and whether your code i edit with Systick_Config(21000)

because i use it for make 1 ms ?

thankss
