How to reconstruct input signal by using DAC?

goutham1995 · May 23, 2018

I am working on a project in which -

I have to continuously monitor the the ADC input on a microcontroller and check if the value crosses a certain threshold.
If the value crosses the threshold, start a timer for 100ms.
Within this period,use DMA to tranfer ADC samples to a buffer.After the period elapses,a periodelapsed callback will be called where I stop the timer and the ADC DMA transfer process.

I am giving an ADC input from a piezoelectric sensor and I want to send these samples onto a the output of a DAC and check on my oscilloscope if it matches with my input. But I am not sure how to do that. Can anyone guide me here? I have configured my ADC sampling rate to about 50 microseconds and timer period to 100 milliseconds. Here is my code -

C:

#include "main.h"
#include "stm32f4xx_hal.h"
#include "usb_host.h"
ADC_HandleTypeDef hadc1;
DMA_HandleTypeDef hdma_adc1;
DAC_HandleTypeDef hdac;
DMA_HandleTypeDef hdma_dac1;
I2C_HandleTypeDef hi2c1;
TIM_HandleTypeDef htim3;

U r not making sense.

U r able to record values using adc. So u know how to do that. Now go to the same source and learn how to use dac.

When I needed to use adc and dac on my due. I went to Arduino website and read their tutorials on adc and dac.

Lol. U did not even bother to tell us that u have stm32f4. I had to look at ur code to figure out what micro u r using.

Good luck.
