Hi

I have been working with the sensor LIS3LV02DL form ST company over 1 
month, right now the sensor does not give me any response, when i am 
hitting the board, the sensor give the same signal, and using the uart 
to see the signal , it is not readable.

The MCU is atmega 32.

Using the SPI mode.

i make the connection between SCL(sensor) and SCK(MCU), SDI(sensor) and 
MOSI(MCU), SDO(sensor) and MISO(MCU),CS to the ground.

can anybody help me about this problem?

my email is: lm198699@msn.com

The code is here:

  spiTrans(regValue);
}

unsigned char readReg(unsigned char regName)
{
  regName |= 0x80; //  SPDR =regName + 0x80
  spiTrans(regName);
  return spiTrans(0x00);
}

void USART_Init()
{
  //set the baud rate
  //unsigned int baud = MYUBRR;
  UBRRH = (F_CPU/BAUD/16-1)/256;

  sei();

}

  UDR = data;
}

       USART_Transmit(*string);
        string++;
    }
}

  return UDR;
}

/*

  dummy = UDR;
}
*/

int main(void)
{

  USART_Init();

  spiInit();


  accInit();
  //writeReg(0x20,128);


  while(1)

Dear Liang,

I'm also using the sensor but with TWI instead of SPI (works fine so 
far). If you want I could provide the source code.
Here's link to a source code that also uses SPI. Haven't testet it, but 
might be worth a try ...

greets,

Michael

Dear Michael,

what is the baud rate?

Thans

Liang Meng

Dear Liang,

the baudrate should be defined by your init function (either SPI or 
TWI). For TWI <= 400kHz should be fine. SPI: nothing in the datasheet. 
Attached you'll find my TWI demo.

Greets,
Michael

Btw: Have you tested the code from rwth?

Dear Michael

In my programming the baund rate is set as 9600.

I have test your code with SPI, it is not worked, so i want to know 
which

MCU you are using?

Because i am using the Atmega 32.

Liang Meng

Dear Liang,

the baudrate of 9600 should comply with the serial (uart) connection and 
does not affect the SPI or TWI communication.

My processor is an AtMega16. So no difference concerning the code.

Please describe detailed your current problems and post your code again.

Greets,
Michael

Dear Michael

My problem is the sensor is not working.

I connect the sensor to the atmage32, rs232 to the atmage32, when i 
runing

the programming, the sensor does not response any hitting, the 
hyperterminal

shows me the unreadable signal，and not changed.

Attached you will find my code

Dear Liang,

I'll have a look at your code this week. Instead of using Hypertermin 
you can try to use HTerm (http://www.der-hammer.info/terminal/). This 
awesome software tool allows you to have a look at data from the serial 
port in either ASC, HEX, OCT and BIN !!!
Is the serial connection working? E.g. writing your name ?

Dear Liang,

attached you'll find a changed version, which I adapted from my I2C code 
and the code from rwth. I also included my uart function of which I am 
sure that they are working. The code does nothing but enabling the LIS 
and query its WhoAmI register. This is done in the main loop. It should 
return 0x3A continously ...

First try using the hterm and if the string after µC startup is received 
correctly by your terminal. If not check your oszillator and the fuses! 
Get uart running first! After that check if 3A is returned. If so, then 
proceed and try to read the x, y, z values.

good luck ...

Greets,
Michael

Dear Michael

Thanks a lot, but right now i do not have any sensor to test, they are

broken already. I am waiting for the sensor.

I will let you know the result.

Thanks

Liang Meng

Dear Michael

I have test today, it does not transmit the 0x3A.

Can you give me you I2C code and tell me in the harware part, how you
connected?

Thanks

Sure ... have a look at the fifth post ;-)

Greets,
Michael

Connections:

CS  = VCC (I2C operation)
VCC = VCC
GND = GND
SDA = SDA
SCL = SCL

not very surprising ... Use short cables and enable the pullups for SDA 
and SCL ... otherwise use external pullups (4.7k)

regards,
Michael

Dear Michael

The I2C is working, but the SPI is not.

Thanks

LM

Your welcome ...

If your not forced to use SPI then use I2C ...

Greets,

Michael

Hello, Michael

Right now i have four sensor working with the I2C on atmel32, i do not 
know how to set the interrupt, make 4 sensors sending the signal one by 
one.

Do you have some ideas about it?

Thanks

No ideas to sync them ... sorry ...

Greets,
Michael
