Sending variable information via SPI
Hello, I want to send variable values via SPI communication and i wanted to know how to do this. In my programm, i already have a part where the integer (0-65535) is converted into hexadecimal. But the adress has to be modifiable to, and i really don't know how to write it, as i need to seperate instructions into 4 x 8 bits .
Here is the code:, hoping you can help me. Yann :)

I'm not sure exactly what your question is but your code that does this...
.....
scanf("%d",®istre);
if (registre == 1) { //Affichage dans le premier registre
cs = 0;
spi.write(0x01);
spi.write(0x0F);
spi.write(0xFF);
spi.write(0xF0);
cs= 1;
pc.printf("DAC A mis a jour \n");
} else if (registre ==2) { //Affichage dans le deuxieme registre
cs = 0;
spi.write(0x01);
spi.write(0x1F);
spi.write(0xFF);
spi.write(0xF0);
cs=1;
pc.printf("DAC B mis a jour \n");
} else if (registre ==3) { //Affichage dans le troisieme registre
.....
Would be far neater as:
void writeReg(char address) {
cs = 0;
spi.write(0x01);
spi.write(address);
spi.write(0xFF);
spi.write(0xF0);
cs=1;
}
....
if (registre == 1) { //Affichage dans le premier registre
writeReg(0x0f);
pc.printf("DAC A mis a jour \n");
} else if (registre ==2) { //Affichage dans le deuxieme registre
writeReg(0x1f);
pc.printf("DAC B mis a jour \n");
} else if (registre ==3) { //Affichage dans le troisieme registre
....
or if you don't mind dropping the printf lines then all 9 possible values can be covered in a few lines...
....
if (registre >= 1) && (registre <= 8) { //Affichage dans le premier registre
writeReg(0x0f + (registre -1)*16);
} else if (registre == 9) { //Affichage dans le deuxieme registre
writeReg(0xff);
}
....
Are you thinking that values have to be specified in hex for some reason? That is not the case.
spi.write(0x10); spi.write(16); spi.write(1<<4); x=4; spi.write(4*x);
will all do exactly the same. You can use whichever way of specifying the value is most convenient.When setting registers hex is normally easiest but it is up to you how you do it.
You could even do spi.write('0'); to write 48 (the ascii value of '0') on the SPI bus if you really wanted to.
Thank you very much for your answer. I understand better now, the way the DAC reads the information. A last question: how would you write to the DAC with a lot of variable ? Is it possible to do so ?
spi.write(0x0); spi.write(commande); //(4 bits of instruction) spi.write(adress); // 4 bits of adress spi.write(instruction); //16 bits of instruction spi.write(0x0); ?
Something like:
void writeCommand(uint8_t commande, uint8_t adress, uint16_t instruction) {
uint8_t commandAddressByte = (commande<<4) | (adress & 0x0f);
spi.write(0);
spi.write(commandAddressByte);
spi.write(instruction>>8);
spi.write(instruction & 0x0ff);
spi.write(0);
}
All SPI writes should be the same size, it looks like 8 bits in your code, so I've assumed that since command and address are both 4 bits that they should be sent as a single byte with the command as the 4 most significant bits of the byte and the address as the least significant 4 bits.
The data is then sent as two bytes, most significant byte first (watch out for this, some thing want the bytes in the other order).
I just checked you code, your comments say "Setup the spi for 8 bit data" but then you have spi.format(32,1); which is setting it up for 32 bit transfers. That means if you do something like spi.write(0xff) what will actually get sent is 0x000000ff since it will treat each write as a 32 bit transfer.
posted by 15 Mar 2017Ok ! Though, i didn't get why you put (adress & 0x0f) and (instruction & 0x0ff) ? So to use what you've just written, i need to put the 8 bits format ? I tried this programm, and the voltage changed, but not ase expected so i guess an instruction is not understood weel. The voltage changed to 3.6 volts (for 65535 the maximum value) instead of 58 volts. Do you have an idea of what's wrong ? Thanks, Yann
