DOUBT IN SAADC EXAMPLE FROM SDK V 14.2.0

HI,

       We are developing a 2d -3d  mouse with nRF5_SDK_14.2.0_17b948a  "ble_app_hids_mouse"  application.

  • For knowing the battery discharge rate of our product we are trying to implement adc into our code "modified ble_app_hids_mouse ".  
  • We are using p0.02(AIN0) for measuring  the battery status.
  • Actually our requirement is ,we want to check battery level(i.e adc value) at regular interval of time (may be 1m) and if the battery level is less than 20% we will turn on yellow led and if the battery level is less than 5% the red led will turn on.

For configuring the ADC , I look yours saadc code but i have some doubt in your code .

  • I think  in your saadc code they configured ADC ,TIMER AND PPI.

I will explain the flow of code execution what i understood from your saadc below if there is any mistake please correct me

  • TIMER will generate an event every 400ms .
  • By the help of PPI a task was occurring in SAADC peripheral   due to TIMER event . and its repeating at regular intervals (400 ms)
  1. "saadc_callback" function will execute when there is a TIMER event occur , is it right?
  2. During the initialization part(saadc_init) "nrf_drv_saadc_buffer_convert" function is calling and also inside the  "saadc_callback" function   is "nrf_drv_saadc_buffer_convert" function is calling . I known these function is for  issuing conversion of data to buffer. Then why its calling on both "saadc_init"  and  "saadc_callback" function.
  3. From which buffer we can read the converted analog to digital data ?

please answer to my 1,2 and 3

 if you need any clarification in my question please ask me .

  • HI ,

       Thanks 

    My next doubts.

    1. why Nordic using 2D array as buffer instead of normal array .                                                                   "static nrf_saadc_value_t     m_buffer_pool[2][SAMPLES_IN_BUFFER];"
    2. why Nordic assigning the buffer 2 times in  "saadc_init " function ? Is the first time assigning is enough?
