nRF52832 ADC

[Fiske]

I try to combine SPI master and ADC sample code, I add below code to my spi master example, the saadc_init() is called in the main function. However I found that the saadc_callback is not called after a while. Please comment!

I am using nRF5_15.2.0 SDK

void saadc_callback(nrf_drv_saadc_evt_t const * p_event)
{
    if (p_event->type == NRF_DRV_SAADC_EVT_DONE)
    {
        ret_code_t err_code;

        err_code = nrf_drv_saadc_buffer_convert(p_event->data.done.p_buffer, SAMPLES_IN_BUFFER);
        APP_ERROR_CHECK(err_code);

  //      int i;
   //     NRF_LOG_INFO("ADC event number: %d", (int)m_adc_evt_counter);
/*
        for (i = 0; i < SAMPLES_IN_BUFFER; i++)
        {
            NRF_LOG_INFO("%d", p_event->data.done.p_buffer[i]);
        }
        m_adc_evt_counter++;
*/
    }
}

void saadc_init(void)
{
    ret_code_t err_code;
    nrf_saadc_channel_config_t channel_config =
        NRF_DRV_SAADC_DEFAULT_CHANNEL_CONFIG_SE(NRF_SAADC_INPUT_AIN0);

    err_code = nrf_drv_saadc_init(NULL, saadc_callback);
    APP_ERROR_CHECK(err_code);

    err_code = nrf_drv_saadc_channel_init(0, &channel_config);
    APP_ERROR_CHECK(err_code);

    err_code = nrf_drv_saadc_buffer_convert(m_buffer_pool[0], SAMPLES_IN_BUFFER);
    APP_ERROR_CHECK(err_code);

    err_code = nrf_drv_saadc_buffer_convert(m_buffer_pool[1], SAMPLES_IN_BUFFER);
    APP_ERROR_CHECK(err_code);

}

Hello,

Where do you trigger your saadc samples from? Where is nrf_drv_saadc_sample() called? Can I see your entire main.c file?

BR,

Edvin

Dear Edvin,
Below is my code. nrf_drv_saadc_buffer_convert() is called at saadc_init(). Therefore, I expect that  saadc_callback will be called after the conversion is completed. Right?

void saadc_callback(nrf_drv_saadc_evt_t const * p_event)
{
    if (p_event->type == NRF_DRV_SAADC_EVT_DONE)
    {
        ret_code_t err_code;

        err_code = nrf_drv_saadc_buffer_convert(p_event->data.done.p_buffer, SAMPLES_IN_BUFFER);
        APP_ERROR_CHECK(err_code);

  //      int i;
   //     NRF_LOG_INFO("ADC event number: %d", (int)m_adc_evt_counter);
/*
        for (i = 0; i < SAMPLES_IN_BUFFER; i++)
        {
            NRF_LOG_INFO("%d", p_event->data.done.p_buffer[i]);
        }
        m_adc_evt_counter++;
*/
    }
}

void saadc_init(void)
{
    ret_code_t err_code;
    nrf_saadc_channel_config_t channel_config =
        NRF_DRV_SAADC_DEFAULT_CHANNEL_CONFIG_SE(NRF_SAADC_INPUT_AIN0);

    err_code = nrf_drv_saadc_init(NULL, saadc_callback);
    APP_ERROR_CHECK(err_code);

    err_code = nrf_drv_saadc_channel_init(0, &channel_config);
    APP_ERROR_CHECK(err_code);

    err_code = nrf_drv_saadc_buffer_convert(m_buffer_pool[0], SAMPLES_IN_BUFFER);
    APP_ERROR_CHECK(err_code);

    err_code = nrf_drv_saadc_buffer_convert(m_buffer_pool[1], SAMPLES_IN_BUFFER);
    APP_ERROR_CHECK(err_code);

}

int main(void)
{
//   signed int temperature;
    bsp_board_init(BSP_INIT_LEDS);

    APP_ERROR_CHECK(NRF_LOG_INIT(NULL));
    NRF_LOG_DEFAULT_BACKENDS_INIT();

    saadc_init();

//………  followed by the SPI code
 }

Hello,

No. the buffer_convert will not trigger the sampling task for the saadc. 

If you look in the saadc example there are two functions, saadc_sampling_event_init() and saadc_sampling_event_enable(). It is not trivial, but what these functions do is to connect the sampling function to a timeout callback of a timer using the PPI (which is done in saadc_sampling_event_enable()) and then enable this link (which is done in saadc_sampling_event_enable()).

You can either use this approach to trigger the samples. Each time a sample is trigged, one sample is taken (one sample per channel, if several saadc_channels are enabled, but it looks like you only have one). Note that you have to do n samples before the saadc callback is called, where n = SAMPLES_IN_BUFFER.

To play around with the sampling event, I made a project that triggers one sample by a button press. The main.c and sdk_config.h file for this project is included here. It should work if you replace main.c and sdk_config.h from the saadc example from SDK15.2.0 with these. Note that it does not use saadc_sampling_event_enable() and saadc_sampling_event_enable(), but the button_handler to trigger the saadc_sampling.

Edvin said:

Each time a sample is trigged, one sample is taken (one sample per channel, if several saadc_channels are enabled, but it looks like you only have one). Note that you have to do n samples before the saadc callback is called, where n = SAMPLES_IN_BUFFER.

 You need to do several samples to trigger the event. As of now, you start with adc_complete=true, and you trigger one sample, and then you wait for the event before setting adc_complete to true again. But this will not happen before you do 4 more samples, because your SAMPLES_IN_BUFFER = 5, and you need to fill this buffer with samples before you get the saadc callback event.

Also, you don't process your logging, so even if you would get the ADC events, you wouldn't see it in your log, because NRF_LOG_FLUSH() is commented out. 

Have you tried the saadc example from SDK\examples\peripheral\saadc ?

Try to copy all of the functions from this example. saadc_init(), saadc_sampling_event_init() and saadc_sampling_event_enable(), and for good measure, include NRF_LOG_FLUSH() and nrf_pwr_mgmt_run() as well.
