Blackpill ILX 501 Part 1 Timer setup

Details about using the timer peripherals on a STM32F411 mcu to generate the signals needed to drive a SONY ILX-501 linear ccd device.
This video was inspired by the many that demonstrate how to drive a Toshiba TCD 1304 device such as those posted ‪@CuriousScientist‬ and others. Since there are many interesting linear ccd parts out there that are not a tcd 1304, I thought I would show how to go about turning datasheet info into a working driver. I used a 'Blackpill' STM32F411ceu6 as my mcu, but the information presented is fairly generic and should be applicable even if using a 'Bluepill' STM32F103, a nucleo board or others.

Thanks for mentioning my content! It will be interesting to see how your project unfolds. Cheers!

To get exactly 1 MHz and exactly 50% you need to set Pulse without subtracting 1. In PSC and ARR you need to subtract 1, but in Pulse you don’t need to subtract.
