How to read two analog inputs using SAADC?

Question

I have developed an application that reads data from an analog sensor and transmits data with UART. This app is based off the SDK v14.x uart example, and SAADC example. While my application works fine for reading one analog input, I now need to read data from two different analog inputs and transmit their data in the same bluetooth packet.

The initialization call I use for the SAADC is

NRF_DRV_SAADC_DEFAULT_CHANNEL_CONFIG_SE(NRF_SAADC_INPUT_AIN1);

* followed by *

nrf_drv_saadc_init(NULL, saadc_callback);

and other relevant code (attached to this question below). With these functions, I can only specify one analog input and one callback function. I want to use two analog pins, and I also want my saadc_callback behavior to be different for each "done" event. I essentially want to read analog_input_1, then immediately afterwards read analog_input_2 (no/minimal delay between readings), and once both inputs are read I want to transmit a packet via BLE. Once I can read from two different pins, how can I create different different callback behaviors (I.E. store data from analog_input_1 until analog_input_2 is read, then send after input_2 is read)? I could potentially use a global boolean/counter and datastructure to store information from analog_input_1 until it's ready, then simply use an if statement within my callback, but there certainly has to be a more elegant solution.

I also use a timer event to read from the SAADC, and will need to make sure I can take both readings using the same timer still.

Code is attached. Relevant functions I need to edit to support multiple analog pins and callback behavior are saadc_sampling_event_init, saadc_sampling_event_enable, saadc_callback, and saadc_init. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Hi, 
 The SAADC peripheral will by default store samples directly in a buffer in RAM. I would recommend that you use scan mode (enabled automatically when more than one channel is enabled) with a buffer size of 2, and trigger a single sample to sample both channels. This will sample the channels successively with minimal delay, and you will get a done event once both channels have been samples. The callback will give a pointer to the buffer where the samples are stored. 
 You can easily add more channels to the SAADC example in the SD K by adding these lines in saadc_init(): 
 nrf_saadc_channel_config_t channel_config2 =
 NRF_DRV_SAADC_DEFAULT_CHANNEL_CONFIG_SE(NRF_SAADC_INPUT_AIN1);

err_code = nrf_drv_saadc_channel_init(1, &channel_config);
APP_ERROR_CHECK(err_code); 
 Best regards, Jørgen

Hi, 
 there are no doubt many ways to do this. In the following I am reading battery voltage and the presence of metal with a hall effect sensor. 
 #define HALL_PIN NRF_SAADC_INPUT_AIN0 /// analog pin 0

 /// gain of a half produced range of ~0x75 compared to ~0x35 for quarter
 ch_config_hall.gain = NRF_SAADC_GAIN1_2;

 // init the adc
 err_code = nrfx_saadc_init(&saadc_config, saadc_event_handler);
 // no point testing error.it is either success or complaining that it has been initialised

 // do a calibrate

 I have no idea why I used two different calls to do the channel init - guess I was having a bad day at the time. They should probably both be the nrfx versions since they are the latest and greatest.
