Hello,
I have problems interfacing the MCP3302 A-D converter using SPI port.
My test program is the following:

_____________________________________________________

option explicit

'Chip Select A-D
const CS_MCP3302 =14

dim integer dati(3) 'to receive 3 bytes

'configure pin as Chip Select of MCP3302A
setpin CS_MCP3302,dout 'pin as digital out
pin(CS_MCP3302)=1

settick 500, Read_A_D 'periodical reading

do
'''
loop

sub Read_A_D ' ADC reading
SPI open 1000000,0,8
pin(CS_MCP3302)=0 'chip select
spi write 3,&B00001100,&B00000000,&B00000000 'to configure chip and convert
spi read 3,dati()
pin(CS_MCP3302)=1 'chip unselect
spi close

print "data0=",hex$(dati(0))
print "data1=",hex$(dati(1))
print "data2=",hex$(dati(2))
end sub

______________________________________________________-

I see meaningless values printed.
If I connect a scope with SPI decoding I see correct values on it.

Maybe some problem in spi read from Micromite Basic ? The version I us is the 5.2 Plus version.

Thank you.

Pietro

Looking briefly at the datasheet I would say you need Mode 3 rather than 0. There is definitely no problem with SPI in 5.2

Hi Matherp, thank you for your fast reply.

Changing the mode does not help.
For example if I input to the A-D a voltage to obtain a 1023 value (HEX 3FF),
I see the following values: data0= HEX FF, data1 = HEX E0, data2 = HEX 00.

Best regards.

Pietro,
Maybe a bit order problem? If you are receiving lsb first then ff e0 00 becomes 00 03 ff? Just a thought.

Dough,

shame on me !
You are right, if I read the bits backward the values are correct.
It is only necessary to write a boring function to use the bit sequence in the correct order.

Thank you a lot.
