[SOLVED] A Variable Control of Timer Period

[uranyumx]

Hello,

I want to control a timer period with a variable. The variable value is correct because I monitored it in the watch window. But the variable was not working in the timer settings. Because when I write a digit in there, it works. Are there any suggestions about this issue?

Thank you,

volatile int AmpModFreqCalculation;
 
int main(void)
{
....
 while (1)
  {
        HAL_StatusTypeDef usart2_status;
    usart2_status = HAL_UART_Receive(&huart2, Rx_dmux_mux, 98, 200000); //receive 86 bytes (0-86) of data from MATLAB, 60 sec timeout
...
ModulationFreq = (Rx_dmux_mux[65]<<8) | Rx_dmux_mux[64];
...
AmpModFreqCalculation = round((1000000 / (ModulationFreq * 128)));
}}
