10 ADC DMA TIM HAL Lab

This document provides instructions for configuring an ADC, DMA, and TIM to collect temperature sensor data on an STM32 microcontroller using STM32CubeIDE. It describes setting up an ADC to trigger conversions from a timer every second using DMA to transfer results to a buffer, then stopping the timer and raising an interrupt when the buffer is full. Code examples are provided to initialize the peripherals, start data collection, and handle the conversion complete interrupt.

STM32CubeIDE basics

ADC lab: DMA + TIM configuration using HAL library


Lab: ADC+DMA+TIM configuration
Objective:

• Using ADC collect data from selected analog channel (i.e. internal
temperature sensor),

• Each conversion should be triggered by TIM2 each 1 second

• Data should be transferred via DMA to internal buffer (8 results long)

• When buffer is full, TIM2 should be stopped and interrupt should be raised
to allow ADC data postprocessing
Start a new workspace
• Run STM32CubeIDE

• Select a folder to store a workspace


Create a new project
• Click on “Create a new STM32 project”

Select “Create a new STM32 project” to open MCU selector

.. Click here to continue


Start a new project within workspace
• Go to File -> New -> STM32 Project

• As a result “target selection” window will be displayed


Select target MCU: STM32G071RBTx
• It is possible to
view on main MCU
features, download
its documentation

• To start a new
project we need to
double click on the
part number
Enter project name
• Specify project name, optionally its
location (if different from workspace
one)

• Additionally we can specify target


language (C or C++), binary type
(executable or static library) and
project type (generated by
STM32CubeMX or an empty one)
Enabling Serial Wire debug interface
• Select “Serial Wire” from System Core -> SYS peripheral group
• As a result PA13 and PA14 will be assigned to SWD interface
ADC channel selection
• Select ADC1 within Analog
peripherals group and enable
“Temperature Sensor Channel” within
Mode window
ADC+DMA configuration
• In ADC1 configuration, DMA
Settings tab, please Add a
new DMA request
• Select ADC1 from the list
• Set its configuration to:
• Normal Mode
• Increment on Memory side (data
buffer)
• Half Word data width on both
sides (as we will operate on 12bit
data)
ADC configuration
• In ADC1 configuration, Parameter
Settings tab configure:
• DMA Continuous Requests: Disabled (as we
are not using Circular DMA mode)
• SamplingTime Common1 to 79.5 cycles
• External Trigger Source: Timer2 Trigger Out
event (this event is programmed within
Timer2 configuration)
• External Trigger Edge: rising edge
• Sampling time common 1 as sampling time
for temperature sensor channel
Timer Parameters Calculation
• TIM2 will be used to trigger ADC1 conversions each 1second

• System is working on default clock settings (HSI 16MHz, no PLL) and we use
ADC clock as system clock / 2 => 8MHz

• We have Timer2 input clock 16 MHz (default system clock settings using HSI
without PLL)

• We can set prescaler (PSC) to 15999 (actual divide is PSC+1) to have 1kHz on
Timer2 counter input

• Then we need to set Timer2 period to 999 (as we are counting from 0) to have
overflow (update event) each 1 second
TIM2 configuration
• Select Timers->TIM2
• Set clock source to Internal Clock
• Configure:
• Prescaler to 15999
• Counter period to 999
• MSM bit: Enable
• TRGO selection: Update Event
Generate the code
• Save the design settings to trigger code generation
Coding time – defines and variables
main.c file

• Define data buffer size and ADC reference voltage (in mV) used for temperature calculation
/* USER CODE BEGIN PD */
#define ADC_BUF_SIZE 8
#define __VREFANALOG_VOLTAGE__ 3300//ADC reference voltage in mV

• Define data buffer for temperature measurements


/* USER CODE BEGIN PV */
uint16_t ADC_buffer[8];
Coding time – ADC calibration and start
main.c file

• Perform ADC calibration, start ADC and start TIM2 which would trigger ADC conversion each 1second
/* USER CODE BEGIN 2 */
if(HAL_ADCEx_Calibration_Start(&hadc1) != HAL_OK)
Error_Handler();

if(HAL_ADC_Start_DMA(&hadc1 , (uint32_t *)ADC_buffer, ADC_BUF_SIZE) != HAL_OK)


Error_Handler();

if(HAL_TIM_Base_Start(&htim2) != HAL_OK)
Error_Handler();

• In all cases we are monitoring proper function execution by checking return value
Coding time – ADC data collection and ADC stop
main.c file
• As we have configured DMA in Normal mode, it would be stopped once the buffer
will be filled with the data
• Additionally a DMA transfer complete interrupt will be triggered which could be used
to stop ADC or simply TIM2 which is triggering ADC.
• DMA transfer complete interrupt is linked with HAL_ADC_ConvCpltCallback(),
so we can use the same callback in case we are using ADC in IRQ or in DMA mode
/* USER CODE BEGIN 4 */
void HAL_ADC_ConvCpltCallback(ADC_HandleTypeDef* hadc)
{
if(HAL_ADC_Stop_DMA(&hadc1) != HAL_OK)
Error_Handler();
}
/* USER CODE END 4 */
… Let’s check it

• After all code processing we can build the project, start debug session and run the
application

• We can monitor ADC_buffer (while stopped on breakpoint or paused the debug


session) by:
• Clicking on its name (separate window with more details will be displayed)

• Adding it to watch (left mouse button click on its name and select Add Watch Expression and
then fill then name of the variable into “Add Watch Expression” window
Monitoring of variables in debug mode
• We can set a breakpoint within HAL_ADC_ConvCpltCallback() which would be
called once complete buffer is filled with data.

• Now we need to recalculate measured values into deg C values. We can use
macro __LL_ADC_CALC_TEMPERATURE()
