Posted on May 03, 2018 at 13:37I have recently acquired an STM32F769I-Discovery board and am trying to drive a strip of 60 addressable leds (ws2813b).
Because I don't want to use the processor to bit-bang data to the leds (I want the processor free to process other data), I decided to use the SPI peripheral with DMA to create a waveform with the right timings for the ws2813b leds.
I have a working SPI output with the right timing, but the MOSI signal is always high after a transfer completes (I only use the MOSI signal, which connects to the data in of the first LED.
I did some research on the internet and found more people using SPI with DMA to drive these leds, and they fixed this problem by pre- and appending the data with a 0 byte.
I have replicated this pre- and appending of a 0 bytte, but MOSI continues to be pulled high after the last 0 byte (see attached image)
I am not that familiar with the hardware, or the SPI protocol, but am hoping some of you can shed some light on this
