I am using eval STPM34 for energy meter project. I am connecting ESP32 to STPM34 using UART. i.e. only Tx and Rx are used.

I am writing ESP32 code using Arduino IDE.

When I use Serial2.read() function to read any register data, I always get "160 0 0 4" i.e. "A0 00 00 04"... These are contents of 0x00 register..

I can not read any other register, evenif I give right address.

Code is given below for immediate reference :-

(Note: using SPI, i am able to read all register, but using UART, I failed)

#define RXD2 16

#define TXD2 17

#define SYN    5  // SYN pin

#define CS     18   // Chip select pin

#define READ_DELAY 500  // delay after reading. value in MS

byte tabByte[4];

static long total;

int cnt;

void ActiveSync() {

 /* digitalWrite(SYN, LOW);

 delayMicroseconds(4);           // waits for a 1 millisecond

 digitalWrite(SYN, HIGH);

 delay(1); */

}

//READING FROM STPM

void sendBufferContent(){

 //knowing that it returns the LSByte first

 Serial.println("Reading registers");

 if(Serial2.available())

 {

  // while(Serial2.available() > 0 ) {

       for (int i=0;i<4;i++){

         tabByte[i]=Serial2.read();

         Serial.println(tabByte[i]);

       }

        while(Serial2.available() > 0 ) {

         Serial2.read();

       }

    //}

    delay(READ_DELAY);

 }

 else{

    Serial.println("NOT READING");

 }

It is about to be 2 months over you asked the question. I don't know did you find an answer. I was looking for a solution to this situation because I am getting the same bytes from STPM.

But you are making some obvious mistakes:

1) You are not making a communication peripheral selection (SPI or UART). When first energizing the IC you must do the selection. Look to the STPMx Getting Started documentation.

2) You are not sending the CRC byte which is default enabled. Again look to the STPMx Getting Started documentation.

In the STPMx Getting Started document page 14 it says that:

"Note that even if CRC received from the host is wrong, the answer of the STMP3x is in any

case the default value of the 1st register (0x040000A0). Then, an interruption can be

enabled to activate a wrong CRC detection (see datasheet for details)."

I know all the above data but I am still getting (0x040000A0) bytes :) I am working on it.
