ADE9000 COMMUNICATION PROBLEM WITH STM32F401

[Caan]

I have setup a base board of ADE9000 With only Basic Components connected, Like Bypass capacitors, Reset pullups and connected SPI Directly with the STM32F401 Blackpill board , Everything starts-up perfectly.
So I want to check the communication between the MCU and AE9000, So To read the Register value at 0x4FE (Version of ADE9000) I am sending 0x4FE8 (8 Is added so as to set bit 3 High For read Command) But I am only getting 0xfffc and 0xfff8 in random patterns.
SPI for STM32F4 is set to 16 bits with Mode 0 Configuration and I am checking the data using Logic Analyzer which check out that the data sent from the MCU is 0x4FE8 but receiving is 0xfffc and/or 0xfff8

You mean this: https://www.analog.com/en/products/ade9000.html ?
Is that a custom board you've made yourself, or something from ADI? or 3rd party?

Please post your code & schematics, and logic analyser traces - see:

https://community.st.com/t5/community-guidelines/how-to-write-your-question-to-maximize-your-chances-to-find-a/ta-p/575228

Some good, clear photos of your setup would also help.

Have you shown ADI the traces? It's their chip, so they'd be best to spot anything that's not right in your comms...

EDIT:

Have you tried the Software Driver which ADI provide?

It seems there's an Arduino library available:

I have made a custom board for ADE9000

Problem Solved.

For the benefit of future readers, it would be helpful if you described what the problem was, how you found it, and how you fixed it.

now the ADE9000 is communicating happily.
