ADIS16250: Help with setting up SPI

[InitialDriveGTR]

The Defines for the Hardware serial were generated using a program I found here. So, I honestly didn't even know what it was(or at least I didn't put much thought into them). As for the MSBPRE, etc. I found I fould change between using the numeric values and the text versions, so I just left it there.

DOH! so it was partially my fault. You used the old version of the SPBRG calc... wich is mine... i thought i sent the updated one seems not. BTW.. you're not using HSERIN so it doesn't cause any problem

Anyways here's the corrected version

EDIT: i remind to have posted an update... but on a USB thread. DOH!

Anyways, there's another applet comming soons including Timer calc, Reverse timer calc, SPBRG and HPWM. Still on test as now.

I don't want to do the same mistake twice

Do you know what the "LSB" is on the ADIS16250 datasheet? I think it is being used as a unit. Thanks

PS mister_e, I could host your calculator software on my website if you would like

Yes, it is. See Table 6. On the far right, it shows that each bit, for the different outputs, represents a particular values. For instance, each bit of the GYRO_OUT register is equal to 0.07326°/sec (when scaling is set to 320°/sec). So, if this register was %0000 0111 1101 0000 (2000), it would mean a value of 2000 * 0.07326 = 146.52°/sec.

If you look at table 1, you see the SENSITIVITY parameters (Compare this to table 7):
Range = 320°/sec, LSB is 1/13.65 = 0.07326 °/sec
Range = 160°/sec, LSB is 1/27.30 = 0.03663 °/sec
Range = 080°/sec, LSB is 1/54.60 = 0.018315 °/sec
EDIT: These numbers are also presented in the text below table 12


HTH,

EDIT: Here is a link to the datasheet to keep others from having to search for it.

I have no problem with that. Another site already did it without my permission anyway

If you get cash from it, i'm also wide open

Hello, I am working trying to display the degrees per second on an LCD. I want to have accuracy with the displayed value, but for now would be happy with just integers. Can someone help me figure it out? Thanks

Hey, how do you want to aquire the temperature? and I can't understand how do you want to calculate degrees per second? explain me better and I will try to solve your problem. If you don't have an idea I can give you some ones.

I have a LCD connected to my PIC, and I wish to display the rotation of the Gyro in degrees per second. I need decimals, and I am having trouble working out the math without maxing out the word variables. Thanks
