ADC in conjustion with DMA

[Pejwaak]

Hi

I am facing an odd problem with ADC in conjunction with DMA on STM32L151V8T-A. 

I can see that it measures all three channels. However, the result of each channel is stored in the first element of my results array (Result[3]). 

Every time that the callback function is called the results of one out of three channels is stored in Result[0] element. It is as if the memory address is not increasing.

Can somebody help?

Hello @Pejwaak,

Please, make sure in your DMA settings you have correctly enable the incrementing address of "Destination Address".

Feel free to share your settings :)

Kind Regards,

Hi

Thanks for getting to me. I am not writing the low level code. I am using HAL library and I assumed as long as I follow the working examples. It should do the same thing although this is a different STM32 microcontroller.

Here is the part of the code that runs it. I also use the call back function to sent the ADCFlag.

HAL_ADC_Start_DMA(&hadc, ADCArray, 3);
  HAL_TIM_Base_Start_IT(&htim2);
  /* USER CODE END 2 */

  /* Infinite loop */
  /* USER CODE BEGIN WHILE */
  while (1)
  {
    /* USER CODE END WHILE */

    /* USER CODE BEGIN 3 */
  if(ADCFlag){
  ADCStat = HAL_ADC_GetState(&hadc);
  if(ADCStat == 0){
    ADCFlag = 0;
    HAL_ADC_Start_DMA(&hadc, ADCArray, 3);
  }

Hello,

Did you enable Scan mode?

Did you enable Memory incrementation in DMA config as stated by @GwenoleB ?

Hi

Yes, I have taken every standard step according to the examples. Like I said all channels are being sampled but at the end of the sequence only one channel is written to ACDArray[0] and the rest remain zero. then at then end of next sequence the values for another channel is written two ACDArray[0] and the rest remain zero. It is really odd.

You need to share your project for an efficient help.

Hi

Thanks it is a lo of line. I am going to put the relevant bits here. Hopefully it will work.

static void MX_ADC_Init(void)
{

/* USER CODE BEGIN ADC_Init 0 */

/* USER CODE END ADC_Init 0 */

ADC_ChannelConfTypeDef sConfig = {0};

/* USER CODE BEGIN ADC_Init 1 */

/* USER CODE END ADC_Init 1 */
/** Configure the global features of the ADC (Clock, Resolution, Data Alignment and number of conversion)
*/
hadc.Instance = ADC1;
hadc.Init.ClockPrescaler = ADC_CLOCK_ASYNC_DIV4;
hadc.Init.Resolution = ADC_RESOLUTION_10B;
hadc.Init.DataAlign = ADC_DATAALIGN_RIGHT;
hadc.Init.ScanConvMode = ADC_SCAN_ENABLE;
hadc.Init.EOCSelection = ADC_EOC_SEQ_CONV;
hadc.Init.LowPowerAutoWait = ADC_AUTOWAIT_DISABLE;
hadc.Init.LowPowerAutoPowerOff = ADC_AUTOPOWEROFF_DISABLE;
hadc.Init.ChannelsBank = ADC_CHANNELS_BANK_A;
hadc.Init.ContinuousConvMode = ENABLE;
hadc.Init.NbrOfConversion = 3;
hadc.Init.DiscontinuousConvMode = DISABLE;
hadc.Init.ExternalTrigConv = ADC_SOFTWARE_START;
hadc.Init.ExternalTrigConvEdge = ADC_EXTERNALTRIGCONVEDGE_NONE;
hadc.Init.DMAContinuousRequests = ENABLE;
if (HAL_ADC_Init(&hadc) != HAL_OK)
{
Error_Handler();
}
/** Configure for the selected ADC regular channel its corresponding rank in the sequencer and its sample time.
*/
sConfig.Channel = ADC_CHANNEL_0;
sConfig.Rank = ADC_REGULAR_RANK_1;
sConfig.SamplingTime = ADC_SAMPLETIME_16CYCLES;
if (HAL_ADC_ConfigChannel(&hadc, &sConfig) != HAL_OK)
{
Error_Handler();
}
/** Configure for the selected ADC regular channel its corresponding rank in the sequencer and its sample time.
*/
sConfig.Channel = ADC_CHANNEL_2;
sConfig.Rank = ADC_REGULAR_RANK_2;
if (HAL_ADC_ConfigChannel(&hadc, &sConfig) != HAL_OK)
{
Error_Handler();
}
/** Configure for the selected ADC regular channel its corresponding rank in the sequencer and its sample time.
*/
sConfig.Channel = ADC_CHANNEL_6;
sConfig.Rank = ADC_REGULAR_RANK_3;
if (HAL_ADC_ConfigChannel(&hadc, &sConfig) != HAL_OK)
{
Error_Handler();
}
/* USER CODE BEGIN ADC_Init 2 */

/* USER CODE END ADC_Init 2 */

}

This is the configuration of ADC. The rest of the code is presented above. It is very simple. Start with DMA, set the flag by callback function, reset the flag and restart the ADC with DMA again.
