SPI with STM32 Transcription

• 00:00 - 00:30 hello I am as and in this video I want to talk about SBI as pre for all in stm32 series F1 okay I prepare a document for I want to show that what is SBI and how we use them in stm32 okay go to document and talk about that SP in SD M 32 series F1 one of the
• 00:30 - 01:00 most important parallel communicational is SPI and the speed of that is more than other protocol like your sp sp work with a lot of module like RF RFID card reader and so on if you want to definition of SBI it is a protocol without interrupt and uh we can send and receive any bit we want on constantly
• 01:00 - 01:30 this interrupt is not uh the interupt we have in uh writing code this means uh common I mean we don't have uh something cut is the parallel uh same as send beit as the same time it means without interrupt okay go to next paragraph base of this communication is on master and a slave
• 01:30 - 02:00 we have one always we have one a slave and we have a lot of uh one master and we have a lot of a slave for example Two Three or one it's not important in the simplest stat we have one master and one slave we have m o s i is called it uh Moi uh we have m i s o
• 02:00 - 02:30 misoa is related to clock and SS or CS is related to chip select I write that m o s i or Moi Master output you can see that masteries output and send message for a slave a slave input miso Master input a slave output and you can see that in here
• 02:30 - 03:00 a slave is output and send something for master then Master is input that there SC related to clock because this partical is synchronous SS or CS chip select and in SPI it work when this spin is Select zero this peripheral I mean SP use internal clock and disp synchronous this is for
• 03:00 - 03:30 emphasize and the next uh when we have two or more a slave we can configure uh this master and a slave uh one way is this uh we have one master and two a slave you can see that uh this is the circuit and we have two chips select uh in somehow uh when we don't have uh out or gpio this is really
• 03:30 - 04:00 useful this part or this second configuration is really useful because we have one chip select for two a slave and you can see the thec okay uh next two things in Spa is really important CLE or clock polarity and CA or clock f for example example I send 0
• 04:00 - 04:30 cross 19 the binary is 1 0 0 1 and 0 0 0 0 with SP and see what happened on oscilloscope okay at first uh we have four mode inpi we can use that uh one of them is rising gauge uh I mean that the base is this we have the rising gauge in here and clock sourcing is
• 04:30 - 05:00 zero okay after that when we have a rising gauge this is the output is one and another is uh this is the rising age this is the zero and in this case is falling and this is the rising age we have zero this is the falling gate uh Rising gate you can see that we have one and and in
• 05:00 - 05:30 output I have one 0 0 and one and four Z you can see that when I have Rising gauge the output is one the other Rising gauge output is zero the other Rising aged output is zero the other Rising aged output is one and other Rising gauge is here zero other Rising gauge is zero other Rising age is zero
• 05:30 - 06:00 the other Rising age is zero and we have this part uh the moood two is falling guge uh at first we have falling gauge and you can see that in osilloscope uh the clock Source at first is high uh the following age we have one after that the following age zero after that the following age zero the following age is one and so on we have for Z in
• 06:00 - 06:30 here and in the Cub mix you can see that uh Second following age it means uh the age is set as two age in this case and uh second following is is the one is not and the second is second falling one is not that and two and we have the same
• 06:30 - 07:00 idea and the second riseing gaug you can see that this mode okay go to cube mix and make the project
• 07:00 - 07:30 okay choose your mro I change my mro to C8 and this is it go to system core system serial deug go to connectivity spi1 is mood is uh full double x
• 07:30 - 08:00 Master Okay go to paramet setting and uh data size is this and pre scale change to 2506 and as I talk about clock polar uh polarity is low and clock f is 1 H as I saying my document is about that okay go to to nvic and take
• 08:00 - 08:30 this everything is okay go to SBI to and change mod to full DX slave and choose Hardware NSS input signal for uh chip select uh this part is for chip select and change to this Parts go to nvic and take there
• 08:30 - 09:00 okay then go to the pin configuration and want to see about SPI this is the SPI 1 and this is SPI 2 and you must connect it to m o or uh musy to that musy uh I mean pb15 to p7 and P6 to p14 and P5 to P 13
• 09:00 - 09:30 and one pin is output for chip select or SS uh as I say this pin at first uh select or reset to zero because we want to send something uh change to Output okay everything is okay and change change the project name
• 09:30 - 10:00 to test for example I use the kale copy only necessary Library F and this is the place I want to save it this project um okay everything is all right generate the code
• 10:00 - 10:30 open the project okay this is the SPI go to main that see and you can see that uh type handle the SPI 1 and SPI 2 uh add discod to this project I write it before a notepad
• 10:30 - 11:00 because not enough time to explain what happened but I explain what happened to there okay add to TV and then this is for there I
• 11:00 - 11:30 explain what happened here and then this part to initialize user being two and after that add this part on while to run the code okay that's it go to option for Target debar
• 11:30 - 12:00 setting flash down theti [Music] here and compile the code
• 12:00 - 12:30 okay zero error and zero warming uh at first let's explain what happened uh in private variable B PV I Define data underline Ts for transmit something uh to slave with master master send something to a slave for example I send 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 n 10 in 10 bikes or
• 12:30 - 13:00 10 by and Define data underline ARX to receive s slave received this number after that uh I use the inrupt yeah SP interrupt and you can see that this is the structure of that and this line is about uh active again uh receive it a
• 13:00 - 13:30 slave this is it uh and because in RX this number is two because SPI 1 is a slave it transmit something and SPI 2 is uh SBI 1 is Master send something and SBI 2 is a slave receive something this is it we have a right to and and the other thing is for
• 13:30 - 14:00 initialize uh for receive it at we have one two three permit in here perit one is about which SPI we can use for receive SPI 2 as I say and Par two is about data uh we want to receive that and the last one is about size you can see that uh in meanwhile I use Hall online spba
• 14:00 - 14:30 transmit one 2 3 4 we have four Prim in here first is about SPI because uh spi1 is the master and transmit something and you can see that and the two is the pointer is uh point to something we want to transmit something that and the third one is about the size of the uh data and
• 14:30 - 15:00 the last one is about timeout you can set as 100 or 200 you want that and this line I mean white uh is waiting for a transmit and you can see that get state for sp1 and wait for uh transmits prepaid and okay this is wait for uh get State you
• 15:00 - 15:30 can see that uh H underline SBI State ready it's on wait to uh master or transmit again uh prepared to uh send something else this is it and comp okay I forgot something this is my circuit
• 15:30 - 16:00 yeah this is my circuit pb15 connected to pr7 pb14 connected to P6 pb13 connected to P5 and pb12 connected to p uh four this is it and uh let's compile this code and see what happened here okay let's see the what happening to debugger go to
• 16:00 - 16:30 debug and uh go to P where is it Okay click here to T and add to watch one click here to RX and add to again watch one and uh right click here and unit this sck right click here again and unit this sck and you can
• 16:30 - 17:00 see in data TX we have 1 2 3 4 5 until 10 um in RX uh transmit this data to RX okay uh at first reset the program and then compile that again uh sometimes it's happen again reset the program and again compile that you can see that what
• 17:00 - 17:30 happened in here 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 to transmit for RX is we have this data again this means uh Master transmit and a slave receive that data for example I change uh one of this data for example 10 to 12 okay you can see that the 9 is the change 10 to change to 12
• 17:30 - 18:00 for example 9 change to uh 13 in eight box and you can in uh TS and you can see that what happened eight is changed to 13 okay uh this is the SPI and how to use it in stm32 thanks for watching me please subscribe me bye
