Electronic – ADC on STM32, Nucleo-F722ZE

adcnucleostm32

I am trying to read ADC values on the Nucleo-F722ZE board.

  • I have 3V from a power supply connected to pin PA3 on the Nucleo. Verified that the pin on the processor reads 3V.
  • Grounds from the power supply and the Nucleo are connected.
  • I checked the voltages on AVDD/VREF, they are correct at ~3.3V

However, when I read the ADC value, it shows up as ~600. 3V should give me ~3700. I have tried varying power supply voltage so that the voltage at the pin is 1V to 3V, however the values from the ADC remain constant at ~630.

I have tried the other two pins initialized in my code, PC0 and PC3, and they behave the same way.

I have a suspicion that the ADC is not configured properly. Is there something wrong with my code?

Best Answer

  • I have not checked if all fields in local structs are initialized. It's good practice to explicitly initialize all local structs, e.g.

    ADC_ChannelConfTypeDef sConfig = {};
    GPIO_InitTypeDef GPIO_InitStruct = {};
    
  • Are the values from the internal channels, VREFINT and temperature, plausible? When yes, then ADC and DMA work, and GPIO setup is probably wrong.

  • Are the GPIO and DMA clocks enabled? Can't find __HAL_RCC_GPIOA_CLK_ENABLE(), __HAL_RCC_GPIOC_CLK_ENABLE(), or __HAL_RCC_DMA2_CLK_ENABLE() in your code.

  • This expression is wrong

    GPIO_InitStruct.Pin = GPIO_PIN_0||GPIO_PIN_3;
    

    there should be a single vertical bar |, meaning bitwise OR, instead of a double one ||, which is a logical OR.

  • Make sure that other peripherals that you are using, e.g. TIM1, don't take DMA2 Stream0 away from the ADC.

UPDATE:

ADC channel numbers are all wrong.

PA3 is ADC_CHANNEL_3

PC0 is ADC_CHANNEL_10

PC3 is ADC_CHANNEL_13

You can get the channel numbers from the last column of Table 10 in the datasheet, or by just clicking on the pin in CubeMX.
