nRF5 action!

If supplied with less than 3.6V you can do it with ADC, 1.2V voltage reference and 1/3 prescaling.
But I've only looked at the theory yet.

Rules are Vdd+0.3V max at the pin, and max 2.4V as input of ADC (after prescaling)

NeverDie

Well, as you all know, on the atmega328p you can read the 1.1v gap voltage using the battery voltage as the reference voltage, by doing analogRead(A0), and from just that one measurement then calculate the battery voltage by doing a little bit of math. So, I'm just wondering what the code is to do the equivalent of that (using 1.2v instead of 1.1v) on the nRF52832.

For this, you can use the implemented hwCPUVoltage() function. Reading the voltage costs nRF51: 260µA/20µs | nRF52: 700µA/3µs

hwCPUVoltage()

I'm finally installing Visual Micro, because I hope it will help me quickly find where all these functions are defined. With all these new layers, the Arduino IDE is just no longer cutting it.

NeverDie

LOL. Well, Visual Micro found it alright, but just in the wrong place. It found it in MyHwAVR.cpp

good choice :+1:
for nrf5, the function is located in MyHwNRF5.cpp

I tried this function call on an nRF52 DK, and it seems to work. I then tried it on an Ebyte module, treated as an nRF52 DK "board", and it reported zero voltage. So, probably I just need to do a pin mapping so that it reads the voltage on the proper pin. But which pin/mapping would it be? I thought that Vcc wouldn't really be mappable to anything but Vcc. I guess whichever analog pin (if that's what it is?) is connected to Vcc on the nRF52 DK is the pin I need to find and re-map to its equivalent pin on the Ebyte module. Hmmm.... I'll have to look into which one that would be.

Actually, something different may be going on. Here's the function definition:

One, perhaps likely, theory would be that it doesn't recognize the MCU, which would explain why it returns the value of zero. Well, to debug that, I added the Serial.println(...) statements into the library code (see above) in an attempt to see which of the if-else branches is being taken, but none of the Serial.println(...)'s were printed! Here's a sample of the output from the Ebyte Module:

I'm not quite sure how to interpret that, but pretty clearly it doesn't contain the println's that I was expecting.

Any theories as to what's going on?

NeverDie

Bracketing that and setting it aside, I do now notice this line in the BatteryPoweredSensor demo sketch:

int BATTERY_SENSE_PIN = A0;  // select the input pin for the battery sense point

So, if I map that A0 in the sketch to the A0 of the Ebyte Module, then maybe (hopefully) the voltage measurement will work on the Ebyte Module. I'll give it a try.

NeverDie

Unfortunately, after I add:

#include <mySensors.h>

the locus of control goes somewhere else (I guess the gateway or something?). Anyhow, it makes this very hard to debug.

For instance, the pin of interest is PIN_AIN0. I can't find where it's defined, and I can't print out its value either, because of this locus of control issue.

Anyhow, I think I may wait for others to get up and running with their modules, and start facing the same issues. Maybe then we can help each other figure this stuff out.

@NeverDie I don't know why the println() doesn't work. There is an "DEBUG_OUTPUT(x, ##VA_ARGS)" macro, you can use when debug is enabled.

NRF_ADC is the nRF51 ADC and NRF_SAADC is the ADC of the nRF52. They are defined when "nrf.h" is included.

What board type have use used for your tests?

I just re-read your question and realized you were asking something else than the question that I answered above.

Answer: nRF52 DK is the board type, because I wired directly to P0.06 as its Tx pin on the Ebyte nRF52832 Module.

I'll try that. Maybe it will be a little less of a learning curve than Visual Micro yet still do what I need.

NeverDie

I just now did a brute force hack of the MySensors BatteryPoweredSensor sketch, where I copied and renamed the hwCPUVoltage function from the library and then called it from within a tight loop so that I never lose the locus of control. It worked!

Besides that it can now do println()'s, the other good news is that it looks like I won't need to change the pin assignment.

Too bad the demo sketch only transmits one byte of voltage information, rather than two bytes.

@NeverDie said in nRF5 Bluetooth action!:

I tried this function call on an nRF52 DK, and it seems to work. I then tried it on an Ebyte module, treated as an nRF52 DK "board", and it reported zero voltage.

I have tried the hwCPUVoltage() function with an Ebyte and an RedBear module. Both modules are reporting the voltage.

Received a new module. Here's a size comparison with the Ebyte Module:

Breakout board for the Ebyte nRF52832 module is now completed:
