PmodAD5 and Pmod SD

[Jrlin]

Hello

Is there any example on hoe to use the MX3kck with Pmod Ad5 and saving data to Pmod SD?

I got them both working individually but having trouble getting them to work together. I pretty sure its something to do with the SPI or DSPI setups or calls.

After I run this command  which makes the SD selected          "   SD.begin(chipSelect_SD)  "    I can no longer get PmodAD5 data. 

 

How would I turn the Pmodad5 back on make it the active one?

 

Whats an good way to get data from PmodAd5 and save it to Pmod SD at fast rates.

Thanks for all the help

 

Code below if you want to look at it

PmodAD5 on  JE connector

Pmod SD on  JC connector

Using Mx3ck board.

Hi Jrlin,

I'm looking into this now. I keep getting a timeout error when I try to download the AD7193 library from Analog Devices so I can't look at that just yet, but I'm looking at the standard SD library and board files for the MX3 as well to see if anything jumps out at me from there.

Thanks,

After looking into the SD library, when you call the begin() function for it (and do some digging in the folders) there is a line that resets all of the SPI settings to default.

I personally don't know if the initialization of the PmodAD5 changes any of the SPI settings (which would then be all reset when you called SD.begin), but it may be worth a try to have the SD.begin() line be placed before all of the initialization of the A/D occurs. 

Let me know if this helps.

Thanks,
JColvin

JColvin,

I dont have hardware right now but I'll give it a try once I have it.

Using the SPI or DSPI I would first have the microcontroller signal which device I want to talk to for exmaple

Something like this?

Thanks for all the help

 

While Loop{

begin PmodAD5

Give me Data PmodAD5

Stop PmodAD5

begin Pmod SD

Save data PmodSD

Stop Pmod SD

}

If that is inside of your void loop function, then yes, that should (at least as far as I can tell) work out for you. Again, I haven't gotten to verify this myself, but I believe it should work out in principle.

Thanks,
