I tied my PWDN & RESET & CLKSEL pins high when I powerup the ads1298 wait 5 sec before start is high drdy shows low if start is high and I poll drdy a small amount of time it is high.
Now I have not reset the chip except pluging its power supply in.
I have not sent a reset or any other serial commands.
I think the chip starts in read data continous and if that is the case and start is tied low early in the program maby it did one conversion so I toggle sclk 2 times.
DRDY still shows low.
I tied some pins low the inputs are not tied low but as defalt might be shorted.
dout and din are not tied yet.
