Arduino Zero Timer / PWM Direct Access Notes

If you want to access the timer or PWM outputs more direct style here are some helpful links:

Link to google docs explaining the PWM pins and their associated timers used on V1.0 of our microbot PCB 

 

Arduino forum example library code to set PWM values manually – Includes TC3 code which most examples dont

Arduino forum post showing what the different timers are used for

Timer	Channels	Outputs	Note
TCC0	4	8	Fully used for PWM (outputs 0..3 are replicated on 4..7)
TCC1	2	4	Fully used for PWM (outputs 0..1 are replicated on 2..3)
TCC2	2	2	Fully used for PWM
TC3	2	2	Fully used for PWM
TC4	2	2	Used by Servo
TC5	2	2	Used by Tone
