Problem with SPI write

[ClosedLoop]

Hello, i am trying to do a simple function to write in SPI. I am trying to send 0x02 then 0x00 followed by 0x00 and 0x10. When i first run the program i can see that everything is being written as it should be , in my logic analyzer. But when i reboot i get completely different values from what i was supposed to be getting.

My write function is the following:

Code: Select all

void max_write8(uint8_t address, uint8_t data, uint8_t sensor_ch){

	spi_transaction_t trans_desc;

	uint8_t tx_data[2];

	trans_desc.addr=0;
	trans_desc.cmd=0;
	trans_desc.flags = 0;
	trans_desc.length = 8;
	trans_desc.rxlength = 0;
	trans_desc.tx_buffer = tx_data;

	//memset( &trans_desc, 0, sizeof( spi_transaction_t ) );
	tx_data[0] = (address | 0x80);
	ESP_ERROR_CHECK(spi_device_transmit(handle, &trans_desc));


	tx_data[0] = data;

	ESP_ERROR_CHECK(spi_device_transmit(handle, &trans_desc));

}

I use the following function to initialize SPI and call two writes,

Code: Select all

void init(){

	bus_config.sclk_io_num = 18; // CLK
	bus_config.mosi_io_num = 23; // MOSI
	bus_config.miso_io_num = 19; // MISO
	bus_config.quadwp_io_num = -1; // Not used
	bus_config.quadhd_io_num = -1; // Not used

	ESP_ERROR_CHECK(spi_bus_initialize(HSPI_HOST, &bus_config, 0));


	spi_device_interface_config_t dev_config;
	dev_config.address_bits = 0;
	dev_config.command_bits = 0;
	dev_config.dummy_bits = 0;
	dev_config.mode = 0;
	dev_config.duty_cycle_pos = 0;
	dev_config.cs_ena_posttrans = 0;
	dev_config.cs_ena_pretrans = 0;
	dev_config.clock_speed_hz = 1000000;
	dev_config.spics_io_num = 5;
	dev_config.flags = 0;
	dev_config.queue_size = 1;
	dev_config.pre_cb = NULL;
	dev_config.post_cb = NULL;

	ESP_ERROR_CHECK(spi_bus_add_device(HSPI_HOST, &dev_config, &handle));

	max_write8(0x02, 0x00,0);

	max_write8(0x00, 0x10,0);
}

I don't understand why that happens. Shouldn't it be always the same values whether the ESP gets rebooted or not?

Not sure if that's the problem, but always make sure to clear stack-allocated structures:

Code: Select all

spi_transaction_t trans_desc={0};

i tried it but it didn't work. I have the init inside a task could that be the problem? I tried putting everything on main but the issue still remained.

You have more stack-allocated structures you don't clear (e.g. dev_config), have you fixed all of them? On main or in a task doesn't matter; the main function actually also runs in a task that is started by esp-idf and as such is not very different from tasks you start manually.

It's fixed now. Thank you
