Part Number: ADS131A04EVM
Other Parts Discussed in Thread: ADS131A04

I would like to access the EVM from my software. Can I get the sigma-delta evaluation source code and/or the detailed command format for writing and receiving data to the ADS13104EVM.

Thanks Meir

Hello Meir,

Thanks for your interest in the ADS131a04! Have you see the EVM User Guide? It is available for download here: www.ti.com/.../toolssoftware. Section 4.3.2 details the commands which can be sent to the ADS131A04 through the provided software.

Unfortunately, we do not have available source code to share.

Best Regards,

How can I use my own software to send commands to ADS131a04?

Hello Avital,

By default, our EVMs are not designed to serve as development platforms. To use your own software, you will have to connect an external processor with its own custom firmware. The TIVA microcontroller on the EVM can be disabled by installing JP1. This would allow you to connect the SPI signals from your processor to the on-board ADS131A04.
