Trigger lpcomp sampling doesn´t work

[Kampino]

Hello,

I try to modify the lpcomp example from the Nordic SDK to trigger the sampling of the lpcomp manually. I have added the following code:

lpcomp_init();

NRF_LOG_INFO("LPCOMP driver usage example started.");

nrf_lpcomp_task_trigger(NRF_LPCOMP_TASK_START);
nrf_lpcomp_task_trigger(NRF_LPCOMP_TASK_SAMPLE);
while(!nrf_lpcomp_event_check(NRF_LPCOMP_EVENT_READY));
Result = NRF_LPCOMP->RESULT;

I use AIn3 (GPIO 5) as input for the lpcomp and the input voltage is 2.4 V. The limit is set to 4/8 Vcc, but the result is 0 and not 1 as expected.

What is the issue with this code?

Does the default lpcomp example from nRF5 SDK work as expected? Does using a different analog input work?

Hi,

the default example works without any issue (with the same input). Changing the input pin doesn´t change anything.

Is it possible that you have provided a callback handler in lpcomp_init() that is already doing this for you?

Hi,

I have set a breakpoint in the callback handler from the application code, but this breakpoint doesn´t get triggered. I will try to set the breakpoint in the ISR of the lpcomp driver and check it again.

Hi Kenneth,
there is no interrupt triggered.
