ADC not working on STM32H753. It keeps reading 0.

[Askia]

I used this sample code I took somewhere to try out but the ADC is not working on STM32H753.

It keeps reading 0. Can anyone help?

You have: #define ADCx_CLK_ENABLE() __HAL_RCC_ADC12_CLK_ENABLE()

but do you ever actually use it?

[Askia]

Not really. In fact, I tried multiple times and couldn't get it to work, so I resolved to trying out an already working code on PA0 for testing and guidance. 

[Chris21]

The ADC will definitely not work if its clock has not been enabled.

[Askia]

I enabled it and tested it but it's still not working. Only reading 0

You don't check HAL status so how do you know if it returned HAL_OK, HAL_ERROR, or HAL_TIMEOUT?

HAL_ADC_PollForConversion(&AdcHandle, 1000);

A better approach would be

	if(HAL_ADC_PollForConversion(&AdcHandle, 100) == HAL_OK)
	{
		/* ADC conversion completed */
		/*##-5- Get the converted value of regular channel  ########################*/
		uhADCxConvertedValue = HAL_ADC_GetValue(&AdcHandle);
		printf("Starting ....  %d \r\n", uhADCxConvertedValue);
	}
	else 
	{
		// handle error or timeout
	}
