MORE CODE EXAMPLES FOR THE MAX32630FTHR ADC

After reading through the MAX32630 datasheet, it is clear that the 10-bit ADC can be configured to do a lot more than the simplistic mbed AnalogIn class permits. Are there any code examples that show how to directly address the ADC registers? I would like to write my own library for this section of the device. Has anyone attempted this yet?

Maxim has an ADC library that is included in the mbed library behind the mbed APIs. You can use that library by adding:

#include "adc.h"

You need to use the mbed-dev library to get the source code.

The Maxim libraries are in the mxc folder under the MAX32630 target: https://developer.mbed.org/users/mbed_official/code/mbed-dev/file/612c381a210f/targets/TARGET_Maxim/TARGET_MAX32630/mxc

Here is an example program:

Import programMAX_ADC

Thank you Greg!

This was very helpful. Where is the adc.h file stored? I could not find it within the mbed class files section, so I have been trying to understand the details of your code example.

</CODE> ADC_StartConvert(ADC_CH_0_DIV_5, 0, 1); AIN0 div 5 overflow = (ADC_GetData(&adc_value) == E_OVERFLOW ? 1 : 0); </END CODE>

The ADC statement starts a conversion, passing three parameters, channel, ?, and ?What are the second and third parameters? What is the purpose of the overflow statement, a "call back" function?

Best Regards,

Bill

I updated my answer with links to the source files. Let me know if I missed anything else. Thanks.
