i have connected a potentiometer(via stm32f103 3.3 v) to stm32f103 adc channel 1 (ADC1_IN1), with continuous mode, sampling 1.5. i am getting the values in DR register, and want to change the values during run time by changing resistor values through potentiometer but somehow values are not swinging that much as wanted. i am getting all flags in SR register. am i doing something wrong in implementing this... plz help me

Make sure the ADC clock is less than 14 MHz, use a sample time significantly greater than 1.5, try 28.5, the range (right aligned) should be 0 .. 4095, for a single turn pot attached to the rails, measuring the center.

thanks clive1 for a reply..

i had done the same thing......

have look at my code...

RCC->APB2ENR=0x200;

 

RCC->CFGR=0x0000;

GPIOA->CRL=0x00;

 

ADC1->CR2=0x01;

ADC1->SMPR2=0x28;

//ADC1->CR2=0x400000;

ADC1->SQR1=0x000000;

ADC1->CR1=0x20;

//ADC1->CR2 =0x02;

//ADC1->CR2 |=0x400000;

//while(ADC1->CR2 & 0x5)

ADC1->CR2 |=0x04;

ADC1->CR2 |=0x02;

//while(ADC1->CR2 & 0x00)

//{}

ADC1->CR2 |=0x01;

while();

value comes in b/w 3C4-3D6 in DR... not changing to higher or lower value when changing the resistor value

I have a policy of not supporting register level code.

You might want to make sure you enable the GPIOA clock, and suitably configure the pin.

thanks for relpy clive1, is it not good to code in register level?

the code you had written is more like the same i posted except you have used calibration.

Does the calibration affecting my reading? How can i use calibration in loop like you did into register like coding.

''is it not good to code in register level?''

If you're going to program at the register level, then you  must have a solid understanding of the registers and their functions and how to sonfigure them.

If you want people to review your code for free, don't expect them to have to wade through the arcane details of register-level minutiae!

thanks neil , i am new to this stuff and now have understood...

but problem remains the same

It has it's place, but requires a much more thorough understanding of how the silicon behaves than the average beginner is likely to possess. If you want to waste hours on minutia and nuances, then have at it, but you own all that work.

the code you had written is more like the same i posted except you have used calibration. Does the calibration affecting my reading?

The F1 requires calibration, as I recall, your very quick conversion will also cause the result to vary quite a lot. A thorough review of the reference manual would be enlightening.
