STM32 Nucleo Continuous ADC mode only converts once
Hello Forum,
I have an issue performing continuous conversions with the ADC on my STM Nucleo board. I want to continuously convert once the ADC is initialized and started and do something with the data afterwards (what is irrelevant to the problem). However, for some reason, if I place the HAL_ADC_Start_IT function call outside the while loop the HAL_ADC_ConvCpltCallback function is only called once. I would expect that in continuous mode I don't need to Start the ADC every time I want to make a conversion.
Board: STM32 Nucleo F446RE
STM32 IDE version: 1.14.0
The main:
ADC_HandleTypeDef hadc2;
UART_HandleTypeDef huart2;
/* USER CODE BEGIN PV */
uint16_t adc_val;
uint16_t counter = 0;
/* USER CODE END PV */
/* Private function prototypes -----------------------------------------------*/
void SystemClock_Config(void);
static void MX_GPIO_Init(void);
static void MX_USART2_UART_Init(void);
static void MX_ADC2_Init(void);
/* USER CODE BEGIN PFP */
/* USER CODE END PFP */
/* Private user code ---------------------------------------------------------*/
/* USER CODE BEGIN 0 */
/* USER CODE END 0 */
/**
* @brief The application entry point.
* @retval int
*/
int main(void)
{
/* USER CODE BEGIN 1 */
/* USER CODE END 1 */
/* MCU Configuration--------------------------------------------------------*/
/* Reset of all peripherals, Initializes the Flash interface and the Systick. */
HAL_Init();
/* USER CODE BEGIN Init */
/* USER CODE END Init */
/* Configure the system clock */
SystemClock_Config();
/* USER CODE BEGIN SysInit */
/* USER CODE END SysInit */
/* Initialize all configured peripherals */
MX_GPIO_Init();
MX_USART2_UART_Init();
MX_ADC2_Init();
/* USER CODE BEGIN 2 */
HAL_ADC_Start_IT(&hadc2);
/* USER CODE END 2 */
/* Infinite loop */
/* USER CODE BEGIN WHILE */
while (1)
{
/* USER CODE END WHILE */
/* USER CODE BEGIN 3 */
}
/* USER CODE END 3 */
}The ADC conversion complete callback:
void HAL_ADC_ConvCpltCallback(ADC_HandleTypeDef* hadc)
{
adc_val = HAL_ADC_GetValue(&hadc2);
counter++;
}
The ADC init function (generated by CubeMX):
static void MX_ADC2_Init(void)
{
/* USER CODE BEGIN ADC2_Init 0 */
/* USER CODE END ADC2_Init 0 */
ADC_ChannelConfTypeDef sConfig = {0};
/* USER CODE BEGIN ADC2_Init 1 */
/* USER CODE END ADC2_Init 1 */
/** Configure the global features of the ADC (Clock, Resolution, Data Alignment and number of conversion)
*/
hadc2.Instance = ADC2;
hadc2.Init.ClockPrescaler = ADC_CLOCK_SYNC_PCLK_DIV4;
hadc2.Init.Resolution = ADC_RESOLUTION_12B;
hadc2.Init.ScanConvMode = DISABLE;
hadc2.Init.ContinuousConvMode = ENABLE;
hadc2.Init.DiscontinuousConvMode = DISABLE;
hadc2.Init.ExternalTrigConvEdge = ADC_EXTERNALTRIGCONVEDGE_NONE;
hadc2.Init.ExternalTrigConv = ADC_SOFTWARE_START;
hadc2.Init.DataAlign = ADC_DATAALIGN_RIGHT;
hadc2.Init.NbrOfConversion = 1;
hadc2.Init.DMAContinuousRequests = DISABLE;
hadc2.Init.EOCSelection = ADC_EOC_SINGLE_CONV;
if (HAL_ADC_Init(&hadc2) != HAL_OK)
{
Error_Handler();
}
/** Configure for the selected ADC regular channel its corresponding rank in the sequencer and its sample time.
*/
sConfig.Channel = ADC_CHANNEL_1;
sConfig.Rank = 1;
sConfig.SamplingTime = ADC_SAMPLETIME_3CYCLES;
if (HAL_ADC_ConfigChannel(&hadc2, &sConfig) != HAL_OK)
{
Error_Handler();
