Problem:
My problem is that the output of the sprintf doesnt display when another Serial.print code is executed.
This is my code:
#include <Wire.h>
#define DEVICE (0x53) //ADXL345 device address
#define TO_READ (6) //num of bytes we are going to read each time (two bytes for each axis)
byte buff[TO_READ] ; //6 bytes buffer for saving data read from the device
char str[512]; //string buffer to transform data before sending it to the serial port
void setup()
{
Wire.begin(); // join i2c bus (address optional for master)
Serial.begin(9600); // start serial for output
//Turning on the ADXL345
writeTo(DEVICE, 0x2D, 0);
writeTo(DEVICE, 0x2D, 16);
writeTo(DEVICE, 0x2D, 8);
}
void loop()
{
int regAddress = 0x32; //first axis-acceleration-data register on the ADXL345
int x, y, z;
readFrom(DEVICE, regAddress, TO_READ, buff); //read the acceleration data from the ADXL345
//each axis reading comes in 10 bit resolution, ie 2 bytes. Least Significat Byte first!!
//thus we are converting both bytes in to one int
x = (((int)buff[1]) << 8) | buff[0];
y = (((int)buff[3])<< 8) | buff[2];
z = (((int)buff[5]) << 8) | buff[4];
//we send the x y z values as a string to the serial port
sprintf(str, "%d %d %d", x, y, z);
Serial.print(str);
Serial.write(10);
//It appears that delay is needed in order not to clog the port
delay(100);
}
//---------------- Functions
//Writes val to address register on device
void writeTo(int device, byte address, byte val) {
Wire.beginTransmission(device); //start transmission to device
Wire.write(address); // send register address
Wire.write(val); // send value to write
Wire.endTransmission(); //end transmission
}
//reads num bytes starting from address register on device in to buff array
void readFrom(int device, byte address, int num, byte buff[]) {
Wire.beginTransmission(device); //start transmission to device
Wire.write(address); //sends address to read from
Wire.endTransmission(); //end transmission
Wire.beginTransmission(device); //start transmission to device
Wire.requestFrom(device, num); // request 6 bytes from device
int i = 0;
while(Wire.available()) //device may send less than requested (abnormal)
{
buff[i] = Wire.read(); // receive a byte
i++;
}
Wire.endTransmission(); //end transmission
}
This is the code when it is not displaying any numbers on the COMPORT.It is the time when I added a Serial.print function just after the sprintf code
#include <Wire.h>
#define DEVICE (0x53) //ADXL345 device address
#define TO_READ (6) //num of bytes we are going to read each time (two bytes for each axis)
byte buff[TO_READ] ; //6 bytes buffer for saving data read from the device
char str[512]; //string buffer to transform data before sending it to the serial port
void setup()
{
Wire.begin(); // join i2c bus (address optional for master)
Serial.begin(9600); // start serial for output
//Turning on the ADXL345
writeTo(DEVICE, 0x2D, 0);
writeTo(DEVICE, 0x2D, 16);
writeTo(DEVICE, 0x2D, 8);
}
void loop()
{
int regAddress = 0x32; //first axis-acceleration-data register on the ADXL345
int x, y, z;
readFrom(DEVICE, regAddress, TO_READ, buff); //read the acceleration data from the ADXL345
//each axis reading comes in 10 bit resolution, ie 2 bytes. Least Significat Byte first!!
//thus we are converting both bytes in to one int
x = (((int)buff[1]) << 8) | buff[0];
y = (((int)buff[3])<< 8) | buff[2];
z = (((int)buff[5]) << 8) | buff[4];
//we send the x y z values as a string to the serial port
sprintf(str, "%d %d %d", x, y, z);
Serial.print(str);
Serial.write(10);
[i][b] Serial.print("doenst work with this");
Serial.write(10);[/b][/i]
//It appears that delay is needed in order not to clog the port
delay(100);
}
//---------------- Functions
//Writes val to address register on device
void writeTo(int device, byte address, byte val) {
Wire.beginTransmission(device); //start transmission to device
Wire.write(address); // send register address
Wire.write(val); // send value to write
Wire.endTransmission(); //end transmission
}
//reads num bytes starting from address register on device in to buff array
void readFrom(int device, byte address, int num, byte buff[]) {
Wire.beginTransmission(device); //start transmission to device
Wire.write(address); //sends address to read from
Wire.endTransmission(); //end transmission
Wire.beginTransmission(device); //start transmission to device
Wire.requestFrom(device, num); // request 6 bytes from device
int i = 0;
while(Wire.available()) //device may send less than requested (abnormal)
{
buff[i] = Wire.read(); // receive a byte
i++;
}
Wire.endTransmission(); //end transmission
}
Thanks for helping me.Gobless:))
