Hey there,
I am interfacing a TIVA C-Series Launchpad with an ADS1234. My dynamic of conversion is 0-3 volts. My gain is 1. My speed is set as 1 (12.5 ms). I want to read the outcoming value of a load cell for force measuring.
I have put a breakpoint in this line of my code: read = a * 0.0000001788 (this line is to read the same value in volts).
Then, I have selected "Refresh All Windows" in the field "Action" of the "Breakpoint properties".
Finally, I have added my variable "read" into the table "Watch Expressions".
As a result, my code runs, but it doesn't work as supposed when no load is applied: after a certain amount of loops, it gets struck at the value 3 volts. My value is supposed to be 1.5 volts with no load at all. Is that referred anyhow to the SSI 0 Module clock signal?
Here's my code. What's wrong with it?
