HAL_ADC_ConvCpltCallback only called once

[nollstead]

I have a custom board with an STM32WB55CEU6 that I'm programming using the STM32CubeIDE.  I'm struggling with getting the ADC to work in DMA mode.  I can connect via SWD and the while loop runs fine but HAL_ADC_ConvCpltCallback is only triggered once (as confirmed by a breakpoint in that function).

• Continuous Conversion Mode = Enabled
• DMA Continuous Requests = Enabled
• Resolution is 8-bit.  What's connected is a joystick and I just need 0-255
• DMA set to Circular with data width set to Word

Here is the code.  Nearly all of this was auto-generated by STM32CubeIDE (I removed most of the comment blocks to make it easier to read) - all I really changed was adding in the HAL_ADC_ConvCpltCallback function, a variable to store the results, a call to HAL_ADC_Start_DMA and an LED toggle.  

Any help would be greatly appreciated.  I feel as if I have to be missing something simple but hours into it I can't find it.

> DMA set to Circular with data width set to Word

For 8 bit ADC values, you should use byte width, not word width.

> sConfig.SamplingTime = ADC_SAMPLETIME_2CYCLES_5

May want to increase that, at least during debugging. You may be stressing the DMA bandwidth available at that rate.

Calling DMA for 2 values is pretty inefficient, especially if it's continuously converting. It will call the half-complete callback on the first value and the full-complete callback on the second. That's 1 callback per conversion. Not going to be able to keep up with callbacks at that rate, especially not with the lowest sampling time.

Thank you for the reply.  My full application will have 7 ADC conversions and send those out via BLE.  Instead of troubleshooting a full app I put together this simple one (with just two analog conversions) to simply things and eliminate other areas of possible conflict.  

I changed to byte - something I was planning anyway, though one of my analog values (voltage monitor) may force me to half-word - and a sampling time of 6.5 but, while probably more efficient (and appreciated) I still have the same problem with the callback only getting fired once.  

[Karl Yamashita · Accepted solution]

You've set the ADC to do conversion on software start. You should instead set the ADC conversion to trigger off a timer at an interval. When the conversion is done then HAL_ADC_ConvCpltCallback will be called and then repeat

[nollstead]

Ooh I like that Idea. I had planned to look into timers, and wondered if i needed them here) but hadn't gotten there yet - then I could configure a prescaler to control how often it runs, etc.

How would I implement the timer part though?  I see "Capture Compare 1 event", Capture Compare 2 event", "Trigger out event", etc.  Any push in the right direction (or resource to read) would be helpful.

Forgive the newbie questions as I'm a long-time Arduino developer who is just getting into STM32

[nollstead]

OK, I think I figured it out (with the push in the right direction you gave me).  Here is what I did so far:

• Set external trigger conversion source to "Timer 2 Trigger Out event"
• Updated settings as follows:
  • TIM Prescaler:  255
  • TIM Counter period:  49999
  • TIM auto-reload preload:  Enable
  • TIM Trigger Event Selection:  Update Event
  • ADC Continuous Conversion Mode:  Disabled
  • DMA Continuous Requests:  Enabled
  • End of Conversion Selection:  End of sequence of conversion 
  • Added a call to HAL_TIM_Base_Start(&htim2) prior to the call to HAL_ADC_Start_DMA

So with that it's now firing every 200ms, which is about what I'm looking for for now.  Very appreciative of the push in the right direction.

If you see anything in the above that seems off feel free to let me know but from what I can tell the problem appears to be solved.

[Karl Yamashita]

You're welcome. Glad you got it all working. All the settings look like how I'd set them.
