Timer Counter mode I Event Counter | Timer as a Counter | Timer vs Counter
In this video, we’ll explore how to use timers in counter mode using Embedded C programming on a microcontroller. You’ll learn how to configure the timer to count external events instead of generating delays — a key concept in real-time embedded applications like frequency measurement, pulse counting, and digital tachometers.
📘 What You’ll Learn:
✅ Difference between Timer Mode and Counter Mode
✅ Step-by-step configuration of Timer registers
✅ Embedded C code to implement Counter Mode
✅ How to count external pulses accurately
✅ Practical demonstration with explanation
🧠 Why It Matters:
Counter Mode is essential when you need to measure external signals, events, or frequency inputs in embedded systems. Mastering this helps in designing precise measurement and control systems.
📂 Topics Covered:
Timer/Counter basics
Register settings in Counter mode
External clock source configuration
Counting pulses using Embedded C
