Hello,
I am using a custom board with the MSP430 for water metering paired with an mcu for data transmission. The two communicate with I2C protocol based on the Design Center protocol. The issue I have is that the measurements from the msp sometimes get extremely high (positive or negative) for a long period of time while no such flow exists. Below I have a graph with the logged values of a day.
The second picture is a magnified version of the first high from the previous graph. As you can see there is repetition to it.
The MSP430 has this version of the code : MSP430FR6047EVM_USS_Water_02_40_00_00 and the things that I have disabled the LCD screen and the buttons and I have added a function that takes the VFR and divides it by 3600 to measure the liters passed by the second, accumulates this values over the period of a minute and then the mcu requests a measurement update from the msp. The value is sent and then I reset it to start the new cycle. I use the command of user parameter 6 to make this transaction.
I have not been able to replicate this issue and debug it. Any indication as to where I might have made a mistake or what the cause of this may be would be welcome.
Thank you for your time.

Hi Nomikos,
Can you post the ADC capture you are seeing with your pipe under flow?

Hello Leo,
Unfortunately from our custom board I can not connect to the Design Center and get the ADC capture. I will see if I can use the evaluation board I have and get the ADC capture If the problem presents itself again.
Thank you for your time,
