When I setup the RANK for the ADC I want to read TemperatureSensor, VRef, IN0, IN1. But the order appears IN1, TemperatureSensor, Vref, IN0

In the MX program I set up the rank. to scan 4 values.

TemperatureSensor, VRefint, IN0, IN1.

I Initially saw this in DMA mode, But see it also happens in Discontinuous Mode.

0693W00000NrLM9QAN.pngBut when read the order is off by 1 position.

It looks like it is reading IN1, TemperatureSensor, VRefint, IN0,

Here is the relevant code.

For a sanity check I converted the second one (adc_data[1]) to a temperature, and the third one )adc_data[2] to a voltage in mV, and they confirm they are in the wrong place.

The generated code looks right.

Why is the order wrong?

How do I fix it?

Thanks, in advance.

I did not change anything in the MX program. I did change the the oversample to 8 in the ADC_CFGR2 register and set OVSE to enable it.

Now the order is correct!

In this line are the values as read from the ADC_DR (x8) Temp, Vref, AN0, AN1

ADC Discontinuous 8 readings: 1D37 2F28 0007 0020 FFFF FFFF FFFF FFFF

Here I shifted right 3 positions each of the values. And converted the first to Temperature in C, Temperature in F * 10, and second The Reference Voltage in mV. They all look good and are in the right position.

ADC Discontinuous readings: 03A6 05E5 0000 0004 TempC:  27, TempF*10: 806, Vref mV: 3300

I tried to run the routine 10 times but only got values the first time. I am going to hunt that down next.

I also ran into this bug recently. My solution is adding a delay (1ms) after stopping the DMA. It is confusing.

Same/similar thing happened to me, i wasnt giving the DMA enough time to fill the ADC readings buffer, i fixed it by speeding up the ADC triggers

we dont need to firmware by ourselves, lets talk
