ADS1256EVM-PDK: Interfacing with Arduino Uno

Part Number: ADS1256EVM-PDK
Other Parts Discussed in Thread: ADCPRO, ADS1256

Hello,

I'm using ADCPro with the ADS1256EVM test plugin.

I can see there's 4 different tests but none of them suit my needs.

Is it possible to generate a simple data plot between AIN0 and AINCOM? My goal is just to measure a sensor value/time.

Thanks

Marc

  • Hi Marc,

    The "MultiScope" test plugin within ADCPro should be able to provide you with a plot of the data.

    If you're more interested in DC noise performance metrics, switch to the "MultiHistogram". For AC performance, the "MultiFFT" will be more useful. You can switch between test plugins after collecting data and the data from the last acquisition will persist and be shown after loading the new test plugin.

    If none of these test plugins provide you with what you need, then you can use the "Data recorder" to save data to a file and import into Excel or MATLAB for additional analysis. Let me know if you still can't find what you'd need and I'll see what I can do to help.

  • Hello,

    So, in the end I solved all the issues I had.

    I will share with you this code I fixed from an old ADS1256 library. It works with the Arduino UNO and is capable of changing Data Rate and Gain.

    Note: Maximum Data Rate that I found for the Arduino is 2000SPS I don't know if you can tweak the clocks to work faster.

  • Hi Marc,

    Thank you for sharing for code!
