ADC12 problem

Started by smok...@yahoo.com September 12, 2010
My board is olimex MSP430-P1611 with MSP430F1611. I'm trying to work with ADC12 .
HEre is the code i use. Taken from IT code samples.

#include // Specific device

void main(void)
{
volatile unsigned int i;
WDTCTL = WDTPW+WDTHOLD; // Stop watchdog timer
P6SEL |= 0x01; // Enable A/D channel A0
ADC12CTL0 = ADC12ON+SHT0_2+REFON+REF2_5V; // Turn on and set up ADC12
ADC12CTL1 = SHP; // Use sampling timer
ADC12MCTL0 = SREF_1; // Vr+=Vref+

for ( i=0; i

Beginning Microcontrollers with the MSP430

And where is the question?
My question was trimmed . Don't know why.

#include

void main(void)
{
volatile unsigned int i;
WDTCTL = WDTPW+WDTHOLD; // Stop watchdog timer
P6SEL |= BIT0; // Enable A/D channel A0
ADC12CTL0 = ADC12ON+SHT0_2+REFON+REF2_5V; // Turn on and set up ADC12
ADC12CTL1 = SHP; // Use sampling timer
ADC12MCTL0 = SREF_1; // Vr+=Vref+

for ( i=0; i<0x3600; i++) // Delay for reference start-up
{
}

ADC12CTL0 |= ENC; // Enable conversions

while (1)
{
ADC12CTL0 |= ADC12SC; // Start conversion
while ((ADC12IFG & BIT0)==0);
_NOP(); // SET BREAKPOINT HERE
}
}

I watch the variable ADC12MEM0 and it shows the same result around 2800. I didnt apply any voltage to the pin or tried around 1V there. Question is what is wrong ? Why ADC is not working?

Ok, the same questions as on the TI community: is this really a delay?
And how about testing with the internal temperature sensor?

Hardy
some compilers with optimization level not set to default will
optimize this loop and execute nothing.
it will simply disable this loop.
example - IAR compiler.

Ohad.
