STM32F103xC and LM35 wrong readings

[DSimp.1]

Hey, I'm trying to get some temperature readings from LM35 sensor and I'm using "blue pill" for this little project and of course ADC. The problem is that I am getting wrong readings, approximately half of the real value. I know that the sensor is good because I tested it with arduino nano and well it gave me right values.

void ADC()

{

 error= HAL_ADC_Start(&hadc1);

if(error!=HAL_OK)

{

i=1;

}

error=HAL_ADC_PollForConversion(&hadc1,1);

if(error!=HAL_OK)

{

i=2;

}

i=3;

Adc_Value = HAL_ADC_GetValue(&hadc1);

Reiksme=(Adc_Value*3.3)/(4096*0.01);

HAL_Delay(1000);

}

here is my little function to get those values. Any ideas why it doesn't work on this mcu?

I assume you get the supply voltage of the LM35 from VCC of the STM32F103, right?

The LM35 is a analoge centigrade temperature sensor requiring a supply voltage of 4...30V. It will work if you supply it with 5V like you did with Arduino.

Yeah, I'm using supply voltage from my STM32. I tried connecting different source of 5V but it still does not work properly. I tried measuring signal voltage with a multimeter and got correct voltages ( around 200 mV in 20 °C temperature) so I it's got to be mcu problem with converting.

Proposals:

• please check AN2834
• please check your ADC settings, e.g. clock, sampling time
• calibrate the ADC using a HAL_ADCEx_Calibration_Start
• test an increased timeout of e.g. 10ms by HAL_ADC_PollForConversion(&hadc1,10);

And please also check VCC, as you are referring to a fixed value of 3.3V when calculating, e.g. by measuring the internal reference voltage.
