hello does the Arduino Uno Multiple SPI channels? why I'm asking is because i know the Ethernet shield is using D13, 12, 11 and 10 which are the SPI pins but i have a 12 bit adc convertor chip that requires to be on digital pin 13,12,11 and 10 can this be done?
Joseph
11-12-13 all get connected in parallel to all devices.
Master must then control a seperate slave select (chip select) to all devices.
In addition, 10 must be an output (whether used as chip select or not) for the Uno to be the SPI master.
Both devices cannot be 10 - you must seperate them, or perhaps demultiplex them with another logic device (a simple 2-input OR gate, you decide in between calls to either device where pin 10 will be allowed to go low).
ok so for the pin 13,12,11 together is ok but the selector on pin 10 is the problem so what happens if i say in the sketch pin 10 is for the Ethernet and pin 9 for the ADC convertor or am i wrong sorry still kind of new to this whole programing arduinos. what is seperate demultiplex mean?
Joseph
or would it be better to do a I2C ADC convertor?
Changing one of them to pin 9 would be ok as long as your wiring matches.
Hello this is the Code for the MCP3208 12 Bit ADC convertor what i would like to do is add this to the Ethernet Shield so i can read the output of it for the Voltages.
#define SELPIN 9 //Selection Pin
#define DATAOUT 11//MOSI
#define DATAIN 12//MISO
#define SPICLOCK 13//Clock
int readvalue;
void setup(){
//set pin modes
pinMode(SELPIN, OUTPUT);
pinMode(DATAOUT, OUTPUT);
pinMode(DATAIN, INPUT);
pinMode(SPICLOCK, OUTPUT);
//disable device to start with
digitalWrite(SELPIN,HIGH);
digitalWrite(DATAOUT,LOW);
digitalWrite(SPICLOCK,LOW);
Serial.begin(9600);
}
int read_adc(int channel){
int adcvalue = 0;
byte commandbits = B11000000; //command bits - start, mode, chn (3), dont care (3)
//allow channel selection
commandbits|=((channel-1)<<3);
digitalWrite(SELPIN,LOW); //Select adc
// setup bits to be written
for (int i=7; i>=3; i--){
digitalWrite(DATAOUT,commandbits&1<<i);
//cycle clock
digitalWrite(SPICLOCK,HIGH);
digitalWrite(SPICLOCK,LOW);
}
digitalWrite(SPICLOCK,HIGH); //ignores 2 null bits
digitalWrite(SPICLOCK,LOW);
digitalWrite(SPICLOCK,HIGH);
digitalWrite(SPICLOCK,LOW);
//read bits from adc
for (int i=11; i>=0; i--){
adcvalue+=digitalRead(DATAIN)<<i;
//cycle clock
digitalWrite(SPICLOCK,HIGH);
digitalWrite(SPICLOCK,LOW);
}
digitalWrite(SELPIN, HIGH); //turn off device
return adcvalue;
}
void loop() {
readvalue = read_adc(1);
Serial.println(readvalue,DEC);
readvalue = read_adc(2);
Serial.println(readvalue,DEC);
Serial.println(" ");

This is the code for the Ethernet

i would like to be able to read the voltages Correctly Monitoring 12v and 5V both are DC but need the mapping i never did before i think that is what it is called to read the voltages. Can someone please help me thank you.
Joseph
This one is tricky - the ethernet appears to use SPI, yet all the SPI transfers are buried away somewhere. <SPI.h> is called yet SPI.begin() is nowhere to be seen.
The code is reading the analog channels:
int sensorReading = analogRead(analogChannel);
So why not use them?
0-5V will yield a reading from 0 to 1023.
0-12V is too wide, you need to run that thru 2 resistors to make a voltage divider - 12V to 5.6K to 4K to Gnd - to output a 0-5V range. 1023 will then represent 12V, 512 = 6V, 256 = 3V, etc.
The MCP3208 wants to use SPI, yet this code is written to bit-bang out the transfers instead.
hello thank you i have all the Resistors in place that wasn't a problem it's just the coding I'm not a coder or programer i do not know how to put it together to work. this is what i need help with is the coding.
Joseph
10-bit resolution is not enough? You need 12-bit? 5V and 12V supplies typically don't vary much and 10-bit resolution is plenty to alert you to failing levels.
yeah 10 bit for me is not enough me I'm a little crazy when it comes to over the top maxing stuff out. 10Bit resolution for me is not accurate enough hehe.
Joseph
I try to mod it my self LOL Epic Fail got nothing from it well got no errors in the compiling from it either so that was ok i try to upload a sketch for the Ethernet client to see if my Ethernet shield wasn’t working and that worked ok this is the code i modded. This is my code below i moded.
