Issue: Multiple AnalogIn/AnalogOut needs continuous initialization on Nucleo F334R8

I want to sample multiple AIn channels and simultaneously output the values to two AOut channels.

The following code works with one ain/aout combination, but if I add the construction of the second AnalogIn/AnalogOut objects, the AOut stops working:

  1. include "mbed.h" int main() { Combination 1 AnalogOut aout1(PA_5); AnalogIn ain1(PC_0); Combination 2 AnalogOut aout2(PA_6); AnalogIn ain2(PA_7);

while(1) { aout1=ain1; aout2=ain2; wait_ms(1); } }

Moving the constructions into the loop partially resolves the problem, but there are artefacts in the output, maybe due to the continuous re-initialization of the DAC/ADC:

  1. include "mbed.h"

int main() {

while(1) { Combination 1 AnalogOut aout1(PA_5); AnalogIn ain1(PC_0);

aout1=ain1;

Combination 2 AnalogOut aout2(PA_6); AnalogIn ain2(PA_7);

aout2=ain2;

wait_ms(1); } }

Any help is appreciated.

not working (one aout is at 0V, no matter what the corresponding ain has):

int main() {

    AnalogOut aout1(PA_5);
    AnalogIn ain1(PC_0);

    AnalogOut aout2(PA_6);
    AnalogIn ain2(PA_7);

    while(1) {
        aout1=ain1;
        aout2=ain2;
        wait_ms(1); 

    }
}

working (with artefacts):

int main() {

    while(1) {

        AnalogOut aout1(PA_5);
        AnalogIn ain1(PC_0);

        aout1=ain1;

        AnalogOut aout2(PA_6);
        AnalogIn ain2(PA_7);

        aout2=ain2;

        wait_ms(1); 

    }
}

You need <<code>> and <</code>> around your code (on seperate lines) to have it readable. Best place to have it noticed is on the mbed github though: https://github.com/mbedmicro/mbed

Did you try taking the definitions out of the While loop? Keep the while loop empty with only the "wait_ms(1)" inside.

Also I suggest you use the read/write APIs Meaning

aout1.write_u16(ain1.read_u16());

instead of just using the equal operators.

Let me know how that works for you!

Hi Mustafa,

when placing the definitions out of the while loop it only works, if I comment out one of the ain/aout combinations, e.g.:

int main() {

    // Combination 1
    AnalogOut aout1(PA_5);
    AnalogIn ain1(PC_0);

    // Combination 2
//    AnalogOut aout2(PA_6);
//    AnalogIn ain2(PC_1);

    while(1) {

        aout1.write_u16(ain1.read_u16());

//        aout2.write_u16(ain2.read_u16());

        wait_ms(1); 
    }
}

As soon as both are uncommented, I get 0V on PA_5, no matter what is on PC_0, but PC_1 -> PA_6 is still working.
