STM32F4-Discovery ADC+DMA double buffer

I'm doing ADC + DMA on my STM32F4 Discovery. I have an array (arraySize = 20000) where the data from the ADC peripheral (PA7) is continuously sent to my RawADC array with a buffer size=arraySize=20000 (20000 * 16bit). The initialization and configuration codes are as below.

#define ADC1_DR ((uint32_t)0x4001244C) #arraySize 20000 __IO uint16_t RawADC[arraySize];

__IO uint16_t Voltage[arraySize];

In my main loop, I'd like to process data from the RawADC array such as converting to Voltage values or calculate RMS value from the array.

I'm currently using a for... loop to calculate instantaneous voltage values and put them in another array (Voltage[]). for (int i=0; i<arraySize; i++){ Voltage[i] = (RawADC[i]/0xFFF) * 3; } The problem is that when the for loop is being executed, the values of RawADC[] keeps changing since the DMA is constantly updating this array. I'd like to use another DMA stream to copy from RawADC[] array to a bufferArray[] and use the latter to do processing. My plan is to increase the RawADC array's size to hold more data and configure that array in FIFO mode. The bufferArray will have its size=arraySize=20000 and will take 20000 values from the RawADC array via DMA. I'll do the processing based on bufferArray[]. Any help to configure this is appreciated. #stm32f4-discovery #adc #dma

ADC_InitStruct.ADC_ExternalTrigConv = DISABLE; // This doesn't look correct

So configure the DMA to do twice the buffer size, and process alternating HALVES of the buffer under the HT (Half Transfer) and TC (Transfer Complete) interrupts. You get to process the currently inactive half, and you have the time it takes to fill the other active half to get your work done.I've posted dozens of examples demonstrating the use of HT/TC, review.

for (int i=0; i<arraySize; i++){
Voltage[i] = (RawADC[i]/0xFFF) * 3;
}

You might want to think about the ordering of the math there, or the use of floating point, and casting, so you don't lose precision.

Voltage[i] = (uint16_t)(((uint32_t)RawADC[i] * 3000) / 4096); // would give you millivolts

First of all, thanks for the reply, Clive.

I've removed ADC_ExternalTrigConv. And thanks for pointing out the precision in conversion of the voltage. May I ask where I can find the examples for using HT/TC interrupts?

I post them to the forum here, and they spread from there. The forum is heavily spidered by Google, and that's what I use to find my own posts.
