Other Parts Discussed in Thread: AMC7836,
Hi,
I recently purchased the AMC7836 Evaluation Module, however I wanted to stop being limited by the software provided in labview so I wrote a code in Python 3.7, which was implemented on a raspberry Pi that is used to control the AMC7836EVM. But I have had some doubts and problems reading ADC and Temperature.
The biggest doubt I have is when accessing the addresses to read the information from the ADC's or the temperature, this is divided into two addresses, Low Byte and High Byte, does it matter what order I access these addresses? If so, which one should I access first, Low Byte or High Byte?
I tried to change the order in which I access the addresses and the information I read is different, should this happen or am I doing something wrong?
One of the problems I have been having when reading the temperature is that sometimes the temperature that I read seems to be right, other times the temperature read is in the order of ~ 9º or even ~ 900º, which is clearly not right.
If anyone can explain my doubts I would be very grateful.
Thank you.
