how to count the 12 bit ADC count

and sending it to Hyperterminal (or any other application) is a matter of using the USART - again, see examples provided with the library...

Unfortunately ''count'' is not a very helpful term. When the ADC converts an input analog channel, it returns an unsigned integer value. For zero or negative input volts, it returns a value of zero. For 3.3 or higher volts, it returns a value of 4095. (Don't go too negative or too high to avoid damaging the ADC). In between zero and 3.3 volts, the ADC returns a corresponding ratioed value.

No ''counting'' is required, just a simple read.

Look at the examples in the Library for further information on how to convert and read a channel.

If I have misunderstood your question, please restate.

Cheers, Hal

''i didnt see the count value in hyperterminal''

Nothing in the code you've shown writes anything to the USART!

Remember: to the STM32, Hyperterminal is irrelevant!

All the STM32 knows is that it transmits bytes through the USART - where those bytes go from there is entirely immaterial to the STM32.

See:

Thanx for replying ...

actualy in my application my data (Analog temperature value ) i want read this so i am confg here   

RCC_Configuration();           

 SYSTICKS_Configuration();

  GPIO_Config();

    TIM2_Configuration();

    NVIC_Configuration();

    USART_Configuration(DBG_USART,115200);

   ADC_Config();

for read this channel....

u16 readADC1(u8 channel)

{

  ADC_RegularChannelConfig(ADC1, channel, 1, ADC_SampleTime_55Cycles5);

  // Start the conversion

  ADC_SoftwareStartConvCmd(ADC1, ENABLE);

  // Wait until conversion completion

  while(ADC_GetFlagStatus(ADC1, ADC_FLAG_EOC) == RESET);

  // Get the conversion value

  return ADC_GetConversionValue(ADC1);

}

but i didnt see the count value in hyperterminal so plz tel me what is the thing is wrong

thanx

How have you verified that your WriteSerial() routine actually works?

eg, have you tried it with a simple ''Hello, world'' program?

Remember that serial comms is very, very slow relative the CPU execution - how do you ensure that the USART is ready before you call WriteSerial() again...?

thanx andrew  in main ()

while(1)

       {

      //u16 readADC1(u8 channel);

        ADC_val=ADC_GetConversionValue(ADC1);

        WriteSerial(DBG_USART,''count '');

       Second_Delay(3);

        WriteSerial(DBG_USART,ADC_val);

        WriteSerial(DBG_USART,''\r\n'');

You still haven't showed the code of your WriteSerial() function!

And you still haven't said how you know that it actually works at all!

But this doesn't look right:

Here, you are passing a string to it: 

    WriteSerial( DBG_USART, '' hello \r\n'' );

 

But here, you are passing a u16 integer value:

       

WriteSerial( DBG_USART, ADC_val );

That can't be right, surely??!

Dear Andrew….Thanx for reply…

Actually I want to disply the ADC count on USART

 

and this my code

int main(void)

{

u16 ADC_val;

 

   

RCC_Configuration();

                                 

   

SYSTICKS_Configuration();

   

GPIO_Config();

   

Delay_Ms(500);

   

TIM2_Configuration();

   

NVIC_Configuration();

   

USART_Configuration(DBG_USART,115200);

   

Delay_Ms(500);

   

WriteSerial(DBG_USART,'' hello \r\n'');

 

   

Delay_Ms(500);

   

ADC_Config();

   

u16 readADC1(u8 channel);

 

while(1)

      

{

     

//u16 readADC1(u8 channel);

       

ADC_val=ADC1ConvertedValue;

       

//strcat(ADC_val,'':'');

       

//sprif(ADC_val,ADC_val);

       

WriteSerial(DBG_USART,''SJA '');

      

Second_Delay(3);

       

WriteSerial(DBG_USART,ADC_val);

       

WriteSerial(DBG_USART,''\r\n'');

      

//WriteSerial(DBG_USART,''ADC_val'');

       

}

       

}

And ADC config

void ADC_Config(void)

{

  

ADC_InitTypeDef ADC_InitStructure;

ADC_InitStructure.ADC_Mode = ADC_Mode_Independent;

 

ADC_InitStructure.ADC_ScanConvMode = ENABLE;

 

ADC_InitStructure.ADC_ContinuousConvMode = ENABLE;

 

ADC_InitStructure.ADC_ExternalTrigConv = ADC_ExternalTrigConv_None;

 

ADC_InitStructure.ADC_DataAlign = ADC_DataAlign_Right;

 

ADC_InitStructure.ADC_NbrOfChannel = 1;

 

ADC_Init(ADC1, &ADC_InitStructure);

 

/* ADC1 regular channel5configuration */

 

ADC_RegularChannelConfig(ADC1, ADC_Channel_5, 1, ADC_SampleTime_55Cycles5);

 

/* Enable ADC1 DMA */

 

//ADC_DMACmd(ADC1, ENABLE);

 

/* Enable ADC1 */

 

ADC_Cmd(ADC1, ENABLE);

 

/* Enable ADC1 reset calibaration register */

  

 

ADC_ResetCalibration(ADC1);

 

/* Check the end of ADC1 reset calibration register */

 

while(ADC_GetResetCalibrationStatus(ADC1));

 

/* Start ADC1 calibaration */

 

ADC_StartCalibration(ADC1);

 

/* Check the end of ADC1 calibration */

 

while(ADC_GetCalibrationStatus(ADC1));

    

 

/* Start ADC1 Software Conversion */

 

ADC_SoftwareStartConvCmd(ADC1, ENABLE);

 

while (1)

 

{

 

}

 

}

 

u16 readADC1(u8 channel)

{

 

ADC_RegularChannelConfig(ADC1, 5, 1, ADC_SampleTime_55Cycles5);

 

// Start the conversion

 

ADC_SoftwareStartConvCmd(ADC1, ENABLE);

 

// Wait until conversion completion

 

while(ADC_GetFlagStatus(ADC1, ADC_FLAG_EOC) == RESET);

 

// Get the conversion value

 

//return ADC_GetConversionValue(ADC1);

 

ADC1ConvertedValue = ADC_GetConversionValue(ADC1);

}

// -------------- The ADC IRQ handler

 

--------------

/*

void ADC1_2_IRQHandler(void)

{

   

// Clear ADC1 EOC pending interrupt bit

     

ADC_ClearITPendingBit(ADC1, ADC_IT_EOC);

   

// Get converted value of Channelxx converted by ADC1

     

ADC1ConvertedValue = ADC_GetConversionValue(ADC1);

   

cADC1_BUF1[cnt++]=ADC1ConvertedValue;

   

WriteSerial(DBG_USART,cADC1_BUF1);

   

if(cnt==128)

       

{

       

cnt=0;

       

}*/

How have you verified that your WriteSerial() routine actually works?

In hyper

only hello is displayed nt ADC_val

Y it is not displayed? Iam confusing plz help me.:-).

Sorry - stupid forum playing up again!

''Perhaps you should convert the number into ASCII before pushing it out to the serial port?''

 

Indeed!

The commented-out lines suggest that she might have been trying to do that:

       //strcat(ADC_val,'':'');

       

//sprif(ADC_val,ADC_val);

But there seem to be some basic problems there with (lack of) understanding how strings work in the 'C' programming language...?
