Not reading SPI WHO_AM_I register correctly

[JMart.5]

Hi everybody,

I hope someone there could help me. I am trying to read the WHO_I_AM register of the LIS3MDL magnetic sensor (reg 0x0F). I have a custom pcb with a STM32L151VET6 . I got largley inspired by the STEVAL-WESU-1. I am using STMCubeMx for the set up and STMCubeIDE. I debug with serial wire (STLink v2).

I have spent hours but I cannot find my error. I just get random values, the most common being 0xff out of RxData[0]. I don't think I have a Hardware error since I'm also unable to get a correct reading with the STEVAL-Wesu-1 that works completely fine. Its my first time with SPI and HAL.

These are my SPI parameters set in STMCubeMX :

• Motorola
• 8 Bits
• MSB First
• Prescaler 16 (since Im runing from a 24 Mhz crystal)
• CPOL high and CPHA 2 Edge since the LIS3MDL datasheet says : "Those lines are driven at the falling edge of SPC and should be captured at the rising edge of SPC. "

Unfurtunately I don't have an osciloscope or a logic analyser available at the moment.. working from home..

Thank you for your help and please tell me if you require more info.

Have a nice day =)

Jean

Look in HAL_SPI_MspInit in stm32f4x_hal_msp.c.

Hi everybody.

Thanks all for your help. I found a solution. Pretty easy actually.. I removed completely all my Cube softwares (STM32CubeMx, STM32IDE) and restarted a nuw project from zero. It worked... It was my last last idea after few day worth nothing.

Cheers

Okay, and what was the problem then?
