ADS 1216 Y read data problem

Other Parts Discussed in Thread: ADS1216

Hello
I try to use your IC ADS1216Y and I have a problem with loading data from this circuit. The data are chaotic and switch the input channels are not valid. Therefore, I ask for help. You do not have such procedure should initialize the circuit, switch channels and retrieve data from it. For example, in C or assembler. As a senior I use ATMEGA16 MCU.
Thank you.

Jiri,

Unfortunately we do not have any example code for the ADS1216 at this time. If you send me a schematic and a snippet of your code I may be able to offer some suggestions. For initialization I need to know such things as which inputs are you using? Are you using the buffer? Are you using gain? What reference voltage are you using, and are you using the internal or and external reference? It would also be valuable to know the resultant codes you are receiving and what you are expecting to see.

What I do when I first setup up the communication software is to attempt to read and write registers first. You should be able to read the default register settings. I then try to write registers, and then read them back to see if the values I have written are returned.

Best regards,

Bob B

Jiri,

You should be able to open a private conversation with me by clicking on my picture (or name), and then on the upper right hand corner of my information page should be a link 'Start Conversation.'

Best regards,
