ADC Read Two Separate Channels

[daviddawe1982]

Hello,
What I am trying to do is read two adc channels IN11 and IN15.
I want to read them separately.
Each one reads in its own thread and so far I am using ADCD1 and ADCD2.
My problem is when using the two ADCD's it appears to be resource hungry as my code stops when trying to read the two at the same time but when I only use one ADCD for both (While testing) my code works fine.
Can I read IN11 and IN12 both separately on ADCD1 and save resources?
Or should I not be using threads?
My board is a stm32f4 discovery.
Thank You.
I get this during debug
0x080018ae in chSysHalt (reason=0x8009700 <__func__.7418> "adcStartConversionI") at ../os/rt/src/chsys.c:164
164 ch.dbg.panic_msg = reason;

You should be able to use both ADCs.

Please post the whole stack trace and the string pointed by ch.dbg.panic_msg, most likely you have a call violation (function called out of proper context).

Well I tried to simplify my code a bit and now i get this..
trace..
Thread [1] <main> (Suspended : Signal : SIGTRAP:Trace/breakpoint trap)

and this..


The target endianness is set automatically (currently little endian)

This Is my code.

//Battery Level ADC

  ADC_SQR1_NUM_CH(ADC_GRP2_NUM_CHANNELS),
  0,
  ADC_SQR3_SQ1_N(ADC_CHANNEL_IN15)
};

then starting the adc's

Code: Select all

adcStart(&ADCD1, NULL);
adcStart(&ADCD2, NULL);
adcStartConversion(&ADCD1, &adcgrpcfg1, samples1, ADC_GRP1_BUF_DEPTH);
adcStartConversion(&ADCD2, &adcgrpcfg2, samples2, ADC_GRP2_BUF_DEPTH);

then I am using two threads to process each of the samples.

Please proceed as follow:

1) Make sure that debug options are enabled in chconf.h: assertions, checks and state checker.
2) The application should halt if something is caught.
3) Retrieve the message pointed by ch.dbg.panic_msg in memory after the halt, it is a string terminated by zero.
4) Get the stack trace from the halted position.

The message will tell you the nature of the problem, the stack trace will tell you where the problem is.

Well it turned out to not be the ADC's causing the problem.
I was using the GPT with polled delay as I need a 10us delay in one of the threads and this was causing the problem.
I did try the halPolledDelay but I get a "Undefined reference" error.
I am using chibios 3.0 has it been implemented yet?

[Giovanni]

Hi,

halPolledDelay () is no more part of 3.0, now the functionality is in the kernel and is called chSysPolledDelayX().
