Hello all,

I've been working on this STM32 project with my STM32407 discovery board. In this project I want to trigger a triple simultaneous ADC conversion with an external pin (PD14), once the DMA2 buffer is full this should trigger the USART2 to transfer the data to my computer using DMA1. After quite a bit of tinkering I managed to get this working up until the USART data transfer. 
When debugging I get to see the Transfer Complete flag 6 bit being set, but the data does not show up in  my terminal program.

I am using this code in main.c:

Would anyone happen to know what I am doing wrong? I presume that since I am using the DMA streams, my while loop can remain empty...
