adc of a sine wave of 50 Hz from signal generator
Hi I have been trying to do ADC on a sine wave of 50 Hz from a signal generator for LPC 1768. the code used is given below. Unfortunately the adc doesnt give a sine when the values are copied to Matlab and plotted. Please let me know where the problem is. All i want is a sine signal of 50 Hz sampled at a rate 3200 so as to get 64 samples in one cycle.
- define SAMPLE_RATE 3200
- include "mbed.h"
- include "adc.h"
int main() { int i;
printf("Requested max sample rate is %u, actual max sample rate is %u.\n", SAMPLE_RATE, adc.actual_sample_rate()); while (1) {
Set up ADC on pin 20 adc.setup(p20,1); Set up ADC on pin 19 adc.setup(p19,1); wait(1/3200);
Measure pin 20 adc.select(p20); Start ADC conversion adc.start(); Wait for it to complete while(!adc.done(p20)); printf(" %04f ", adc.read(p20)*(3.3/4096)); }

Where does your adc.h come from, what lib are you using?
I think there are several issues with your code. The wait(1/3200) will end up as wait(0) because you use integers. Try wait(1.0/3200.0) or something like that. Also note that a printf() in your loop will take a lot of time and so it ruins your timing. Same applies to the ADC conversion itself. Accurate timing takes a timer that calls the ADC at the correct moment.
Thank you Wim. the printf statement was used on;y for a reconformation that the adc is happening properly. The algorithm following that failed to give me the desired output. Hence, i was forced to check if it had to do something with the ADC. I used two header files "mbed.h" and "adc.h". how are sample rate and the actual sample rate related to the clock divide value (which cn b 1,2,4 or 8).

can u please tell me how u calculated the samplw rate i am lil confused (1/50)=0.02,and 64/0.02=3200.. how exactly the concept is i have a signal of 1khz and what should be the value i need to fix and hw.....
