Operation palReadPad ()

[GianlucaLaManna]

Hello.

This is my code:

Code: Select all

static WORKING_AREA(waThread1, 128);
static msg_t Thread1(void *arg) {

  (void)arg;
  chRegSetThreadName("detection");

  int count=0;
  while (TRUE) {
   //  uint32_t duration, distanceCm;
          palClearPad(PORT_A, TRIG_PIN); // low
          osalThreadSleepMicroseconds(2);
          palSetPad(PORT_A, TRIG_PIN); //high
          osalThreadSleepMicroseconds(10);
          palClearPad(PORT_A, TRIG_PIN); // low
          osalThreadSleepMilliseconds(2000);
          palSetPad(PORT_A, ECHO_PIN);
         // count++;
        chprintf((BaseSequentialStream *)&SD1,"Firts Count: %u\r\n", palReadPad(PORT_A,ECHO_PIN));

Why the function palReadPad return always 0?

I use an ultrasonic sensor HY-SRF05 and my echo pin is mapped with pinmap wizard on pin 84 (A2).
Thanks.

Gianluca.

Hi,

It depends on the pin configuration, if the pin is not programmed as output, push-pull WITH read-back then it cannot be read. See the SIUL chapter in the reference manual.
