STM32 Development Log 6 : ADC sampling

ADC 1 and 2 pins for spi 3 (board) SPI2 in the MCU:

Supply is from AN_5V, requires 12V in power supply.

ADC1 reset

ADC1 conv start = J1 2= PE3

ADC CS 1 = J2 12 = PI0

SPI3 clock

ADC1 busy = J1 10 = PI10

SPI3 MISO = J2 8 = SPI2 MISO of MCU  = PI2

 

ADC2 reset

ADC2 conv start= J1 4= PI8

ADC CS 2 = J2 6 = actually SPI3 board MOSI pin  = PI3

SPI3 clock

ADC2 busy = J1 12 =PI11

SPI3 MISO

Base board side:

 

Controller side

 

Original SPI2 config from SPI-ADC-DAC demo:

 

 PI1 PI2 as clock and MISO for SPI2

ADC	IC	Channels
ADC1	ADS7606 (U9)	AN0–AN7
ADC2	ADS7606 (U10)	AN8–AN15

All 8 channels on each ADS7606 are sampled simultaneously   Low pass filter at the input line of each adc channel: R = 100 Ω C = 0.1 µF 16 kHz low-pass anti-alias filter

Pin	Purpose
PI8	ADC1 conversion trigger (CONVST)
PI11	ADC1 BUSY signal
PI9	ADC2 conversion trigger (CONVST)
PI10	ADC2 BUSY signal
PI0	ADC1 SPI chip select
PI3	ADC2 SPI chip select

STM32 Development Log: Timer settings

Always backup main.c before generating code. 

 HCLK = 200 MHz

1. D2PPRE1 = /2, again multiplied by 2 for APB1 Timer Clock , APB1 Timer Clock alone is back to 200
2. APB1 Peripheral Clock = 100 MHz, APB1 Peripheral Clock is not multiplied by 2, it is 100 only
3. APB1 Timer Clock = 200 MHz
4. Prescaler = 199, Counter Clock = 1 MHz, Auto Reload (Period) = 199
5. 200e6/200 prescaler = 1e6, 1e6/200 prescaler = 5000 Hz
6. control loop Period = 200 µs, update Frequency = 5000 Hz

STM32 Development Log 5: Current consumption

When running the  Switches_LED_Demo program,]

Current consumption increase by 100mA when SW3 is pressed. 

1. When only heart beat LED is running, 0.179 Ampere @12V
2. SW1:With LD5 on 0.187 Ampere = 8 mA increase over case 1
3. SW2:With LD4 on 0.195 Ampere = 8 mA increase over case 2
   
4. SW3:With LD3 on 0.305 Ampere =  110 mA increase over case 3 Why? SW3 switches PI14 and PI15. PI14 is LD3. PI15 is J3 connector, pin 38, switching relay  1. However this cannot add 100mA to the current consumption. 

 

After disable PI15 relay output in software, the current consumption is correct:

When only green heart beat LED is running, 0.175 Ampere @12V

SW1:With LD5 red on 0.184 Ampere = 9 mA increase over case 1

SW2:With LD4 red on 0.192 Ampere = 8 mA increase over case 2

SW3:With LD3 red on 0.193 Ampere = 1 mA increase over case 3 

SW4:With LD2 green on 0.195 Ampere = 2 mA increase over case 4

SW5:With LD1 green on 0.197 Ampere = 2 mA increase over case 5

SW6:With SW_LED green on 0.198 Ampere = 2 mA increase over case 6, in the control module.

// This code is for testing only

}

}

 

Comments

1. LD2 , triggered by SW4, PA0 , needs long press for the LED to switch states, it is not interrupt driven, it is polled.
2.  LD1, triggered by SW5, increases current consumption by only 3mA
3. SW_LD10, triggered by SW6,  increases current consumption by only 4mA, SW_LD10 is physically located on the compute module, not on the base board.

STM32 Development Log 4: Heart beat LED

STM32 Development Log 1: Internet required 4 times= CubeIDE + CubeMX + Firmware H7 download + STLink upgrage

1.  For STM32 cube IDE version 2.1.1, the stm32cubeMX has to be downloaded separately
2.  stm32cubeMX is required to open ioc file.
3. With  stm32cubeMX and ioc file of the board, the stm32halxx.c and stm32halxx.h files have to be generated.
4. STM32 cube IDE version 2.1.1 will also ask to upgrade the firmware of STLINKV2 . This requires internet.
