TMP144EVM: How to read the TMP144 senor over Externmal serail port.

Part Number: TMP144EVM
Other Parts Discussed in Thread: TMP144

Tool/software:

I need to know the step to talking to TMP144EVM  over exteranl seril port.

     I tried used the TMP144EVM tool to talking to TMP144EVM  baord and capture the logs Between TMP144EVM  and test tool. 

I used the same command talking to TMP144EVM  but can not get the same reposne data.

Result by TMP144EVM

Transmit 

55 8C 90

55 F1 55 F3 55 F5 55 F7

Receive  

55 8C 94

By External port 

 I only connect TX RX and GND  

Send :

  • When transmitting the commands, you must wait to receive the echo (and response, for read transactions) before transmitting again. 

    Please share your schematic and oscilloscope pictures of the bus activity.

  • Hi , Ren 

        I didn't now have new schematic . I Just use  the TMP144 EVK baord directly and only used  and USD to serail port to connect to RX TX and GND.

  • If U9 logic translator is powered on the EVM, it will interfere with your attempts to transmit. It would be best to disconnect the sensors at the perforation.

    Please share oscilloscope pictures of the bus activity.

    thanks,

  • Hi,  Ren 

         I just check the baord .And I tried to click S1 off to see any different .  The D2 LED will be light on. 

    And now I can not connect the over over GUI now. I am not sure did I do any wrong operation. 

    I checked the EVM TX is alway be high(3.3V ). 

    As you said the U9 will impact the exteranl port. So does it will working if I cut off the board 

    to dicusconnet the U9 and sesor baord. and if I cut off it does the command command wil be different ?

     

    Thanks

  • S1 is not helpful in your case. To prevent U9 from interfering, I recommend breaking the board at the perforation (red line.) You can reconnect the boards on a proto board if needed. 

    The commands sent assume 4 devices. There is no change to the commands unless you separate the individual TMP144 boards.

    thanks,

  • Hi, Ren

      I try to cut off the baord but still not able to receive any feedback. I not sure does my EVM baord was damaged ?

    BTW want to double check did I need to connect 3.3V for the sensor baord?

  • Yes, you will have to provide 3.3V to the sensors. 

    I don't have reason to believe your sensors are damaged at this time.

    thanks,

  • Hi, Ren 

       I jsut get a new baord and after cut off the baord now I can get the data same with , But I am not sure how to caualute the vaule to reallt tempture. 

    S:55 F1   ==> R: 55 F1 80 16 50 16 40 16 40 16 
    S:55 F3   ==> R: 55 F3 00 02 00 02 00 02 00 02 
    S:55 F5  ==> R: 55 F5 00 F6 00 F6 00 F6 00 F6 

    S:55 F7 ==>  R:55 F7 00 3C 00 3C 00 3C 00 3C 

     I check the spec  tem data is here but I can not not sure how to reading  for each sensor.

    Thanks
