STM32F103 PWM 带定时器和 DMA 用于 WS2812 中断功能不断调用

Question

I am trying to make my own driver for WS2812 LEDs with a timer generated PWM and a circular DMA buffer for conserving memory. I managed to get the right timings, however, looking at the signal with a logic analyzer, I notice that two main things go wrong:

• When, for example, 72 bits are supposed to be sent, only 27 bits are sent.
• Wrong data is sent and not in appropriate order even in the limited 27 bits.

Whether this is actually related to interrupts being constantly called I am not entirely sure. I am guessing this is the issue because not the full amount of bits is sent and I also tried to toggle a GPIO pin on either one of the interrupts and the result was that the pin always stayed off, possibly indicating that the interrupt is continuously called and so the pin does not have enough time to switch on. I am not sure if there are any other ways to test when and in what time intervals the interrupts occur.

If this is indeed the case of continuously called interrupts, what could be the issue? As far as I can tell I am using appropriate callback functions and my initializations are in order. However, the weird part that I found was that whenever I comment out the DMA PWM stop function, it starts sending out bits correctly, that is, right amount and right order. If the interrupts were called continuosly, I don't think this would work, because the DMA buffer would keep getting changed by the interrupt routines, which should cause erroneous output. I would be thankful for any tips or advice! Here's the code:

Literally forgot to simply reset the byte counting variable indby . Take this as a lesson to very carefully check your code!
