[SOLVED] STM32F4 +RF24 library problem

41300895 Sun Nov 06, 2016 11:31 am

I am using the library from this thread (uploaded by jbforrer – you can see his comment at the bottom):
http://www.stm32duino.com/viewtopic.php … 7&start=30
I think this library also worked well with STM32F4 discovery board, but as soon as I declare
RF24 radio(PA3,PA4)

Can you implement the same thing with STM32F4 board

Sorry don’t have a F4 to try out.

so sad to here that, anyone can help me? I’ve been struggling with this for days and I’m rather desperate right now :?

i don’t understand why you’ve done or need to do this
+ I used the SPI library from here : https://github.com/rogerclarkmelbourne/Arduino_STM32 (in STM32F4/libraries/SPI) – I cut and paste it in the path: C:\Users\ASUS\Documents\Arduino\libraries\

it shouldn’t be looking there at all, is there a quirk with f4 spi?

i did it because if i left the spi folder in side stm32f4 directory, it couldn’t compile if i add the line #include “SPI.h”

zmemw16 Sat Nov 26, 2016 5:41 am

compiling for Discover F407, simple blink on pb6/pb7 with just an added include SPI.h
it at first flagged missing library maintainer, add fred also added [email protected] for the email
thought i’d add it in, did, tried re-compile, same of course (i knew that honest :)), restarted

then it gave up with

I did have an exact error like you but I used method in this thread and I bypassed that error!
http://www.stm32duino.com/viewtopic.php … eSPI#p9227

Just simply comment out the line extern HardwareSPI … in your HardwareSPI.h file. If I recall correctly, this file is under …\STM32F4\cores\maple\libmaple

Try the library attached, I hacked it so the the SPIclass is defined in line 13 of RF24_STM32.cpp, I find it easier to do that way, you just got to remember to change the class if you’re using different SPI pins.

Comment out all the SPI code in your sketch you just need to #include <SPI.h> and SPI.begin() in set up.

Another thing I noticed is you’re using SPIClass(3) which on the STM32F1 that I’m using shares the pins with JTAG debug, to get round this you will need to put disableDebugPorts() in setup. Not sure if this effects the F4 but it wouldn’t hurt to try it.
disableDebugPorts();

Dear Manny,
The number of SPI pins is actually able to change in my program, so as you said, I changed it to SPIClass MySPI(1). That’s means I dont have to use your disable port command
I copied your lib under the folder hardware\Arduino_STM32..\STM32F4\libraries
I also changed the #include “RF24.h” inside RF24Network.h to #include “RF24_STM32.h” so that it fits your lib.

Hello

How to assign this library to SPI3 ?
A special socket for the nRF24L01 on the Board STM32F407VET6 BLACK

[acronis – Thu Jul 27, 2017 8:17 am] –
How to assign this library to SPI3 ?

SPIClass mSPI(3);

acronis Thu Jul 27, 2017 8:32 am

Thank you !

Please tell me how to fix the following example for SPI3 STM32F407VET6 to work on SPI3
/*

Sensor Receiver.
Each sensor modue has a unique ID.

TMRh20 2014 - Updates to the library allow sleeping both in TX and RX modes:
TX Mode: The radio can be powered down (.9uA current) and the Arduino slept using the watchdog timer
RX Mode: The radio can be left in standby mode (22uA current) and the Arduino slept using an interrupt pin
*/

#include <SPI.h>
#include "nRF24L01_STM32.h"
#include "RF24_STM32.h"

// Set up nRF24L01 radio on SPI-1 bus (MOSI-PA7, MISO-PA6, SCLK-PA5) ... IRQ not used?
RF24 radio(PB0,PB1);

const uint64_t pipes[2] = { 0xF0F0F0F0E1LL, 0xF0F0F0F0D2LL }; // Radio pipe addresses for the 2 nodes to communicate.

struct payload_t { // Structure of our payload
unsigned long node;
unsigned long counter;
float DHT11temp;
float DHT11hum;
int batteryLevel;
};

void setup(){

Serial.begin(9600);
delay(1000);

Serial.println("\n\rRF24 Sensor Receiver");

SPI.begin();
SPI.setDataMode(SPI_MODE0);
SPI.setBitOrder(MSBFIRST);

// Setup and configure rf radio

radio.begin();

// optionally, increase the delay between retries & # of retries
radio.setRetries(15,15);
radio.setChannel(0x4c);
radio.setPALevel(RF24_PA_LOW);

// Open pipes to other nodes for communication

// This simple sketch opens two pipes for these two nodes to communicate
// back and forth.
// Open 'our' pipe for writing
// Open the 'other' pipe for reading, in position #1 (we can have up to 5 pipes open for reading)

radio.openWritingPipe(pipes[1]);
radio.openReadingPipe(1,pipes[0]);

// Start listening
radio.startListening();

// Dump the configuration of the rf unit for debugging
radio.printDetails();
}

void loop(){

payload_t packet;

// Receive each packet, dump it out
if ( radio.available() ) { // if there is data ready
radio.read( &packet, sizeof(packet) ); // Get the payload, and see if this was the last one.

Serial.print("Received from Sensor: "); Serial.print(packet.node);
Serial.print(" #:"); Serial.println(packet.counter);
Serial.print("DHT11 Temp = "); Serial.print(packet.DHT11temp);

If you refer to this package, there is a lot of work to do to clean it up…

acronis Thu Jul 27, 2017 9:02 am

What means this string ?

RF24 radio(PB0,PB1);

In the examples written by different pins .
What should I specify ?

RF24 radio(CE_PIN, CSN_PIN); ???

RF24 radio(PB6, PB7 );
So right ?

It seems so.

Btw, have you seen this lib? https://github.com/jaretburkett/RF24-STM

Please update you initially post and add SOLVED to the title and preferably put the solution into the beginning of the first post

Hello RogerClark.

It’s not my topic and not my first post,
I don’t know how to add a message.
Tell me what you need and how to do it.
