Syncing Timers with MCPWM (v.4.3)

Postby moveoverwrover » Thu Jan 11, 2024 8:02 pm

I'm trying to generate 6 synchronized PWM signals. The code below generates the 6 signals at the correct frequency and duty cycle (which I can verify on a scope) but each signal is only synchronized with its pair within the same timer. For instance, MCPWM0A and MCPWM0B on MCPWM_TIMER_0 are synced, but they are not synced to the two signals on timer 1 or timer 2. I'm using the legacy MCPWM library with v4.3, but I'm willing to switch to any version that works. I'm attempting to use sync_enable on lines 38 and 39, but I know that the third parameter (sync_sig) is not set up. I would like to use an internal sync to sync all 3 timers (such as syncing Timer 1 and Timer 2 to Timer 0). I've attached images from a scope comparing MCPWM0A and MCPWM2B.
