ADXL362 Accelerometer Demo [with PmodACL2]

The ADICUP3029_ADXL362 is a accelerometer demo project for the EVAL-ADICUP3029 base board with additional PmodACL2 shield, created using the Analog Devices Cross Core Embedded Studio.

General Description/Overview

The ADICUP3029_ADXL362 project uses PmodACL2 PMOD which is a 3-axis MEMS accelerometer powered by ADXL362. The accelerometer is interfaced via SPI protocol and users may receive up to 12-bits of resolution for each axis of acceleration. ADXL362 supports freefall detection as well as motion activated sleep and wakeup modes.

Demo Requirements

The following is a list of items needed in order to replicate this demo.

  • Hardware
    • EVAL-ADICUP3029
    • PmodACL2 - from Digilent
    • Mirco USB to USB cable
    • PC or Laptop with a USB port
  • Software
    • ADICUP3029_ADXL362 software
      • Inside Sensor_Sw Pack (1.0.0 or higher)
    • CrossCore Embedded Studio (2.6.0 or higher)
    • ADuCM302x DFP (2.0.0 or higher)
    • ADICUP3029 BSP (1.0.0 or higher)
    • Android IoTNode App (optional)
    • Serial Terminal Program (Required for running in release mode only)
      • Such as Putty or Tera Term

Setting up the Hardware

  1. Plug the Pmod ACL2 PMOD into the EVAL-ADICUP3029 board's SPI1 PMOD connector (P8)
  2. Place the (S5) switch position to read “Wall/USB”, and the (S2) switch position to read “USB”.
  3. Plug in the micro USB cable into the (P10) USB port on the EVAL-ADICUP3029, and the other end into the PC or laptop.

Configuring the Software

In the adxl362_app.h header files you can configure the following parameters:

  • ADI_APP_DISPATCH_TIMEOUT - DISPATCH TIMEOUT will define how often the data is sent over Bluetooth.
  • ADI_APP_USE_BLUETOOTH - ENABLE BLUETOOTH parameter - will either use Bluetooth or will have the option to print to console window in debug mode or terminal in release mode.

Outputting Data

Once the hardware is setup and software is configured, user needs to select how they want to view the data coming from the accelerometer sensor(ADXL362).

There are three different ways to visualize the data:

  • CrossCore Embedded Studio Console Window (through semihosting)
  • Serial Terminal Program (such as Putty or Tera Term)
  • IoTNode Smart Device App

Depending on how you want to operate the board and visualize the data, there are two different options that must be selected from. Below is a table outlining the general operation, and you need to click on which launch file you need to program onto the EVAL-ADICUP3029, and hit the <F5> key on your keyboard.

Data Output Destination Connected to Debugger Configuration File
CCES Console Window Yes ADICUP3029_Debug.launch
PC/Laptop Serial Terminal No ADICUP3029_Release.launch
IoTNode Smart App Yes ADICUP3029_Debug.launch
IoTNode Smart App No ADICUP3029_Release.launch




Debug Mode

Debug launch mode is used when connected to the debugger. In debug mode, all the outputs are directed to the console window of the CrossCore tools via semihosting. The data is also sent by default to the IoTNode smart app (ADI_APP_USE_BLUETOOTH =1), but can be turned of if desired by setting ADI_APP_USE_BLUETOOTH = 0.

Figure shows when ADI_APP_USE_BLUETOOTH is set to 1, sensor data is sent to android application.

If you have the app installed on your phone, these figure shows the output on android device.

Do not try to connect directly (or pair) to the EVAL-ADICUP3029 from your phone.

  1. Simply open up the IoTNode application on your phone.
  2. “Scan” for nearby demos.
  3. Once you find your demo, click on it to open it up.



It's important to remember that when you use the Debug.launch file that you hit the “play” button when using the tools or else your program will not run.

Figure shows when ADI_APP_USE_BLUETOOTH is set to 0, Sensor data is printed on to console.

Release Mode

Release launch mode is used for running without the debugger connected. When in release mode, console output is redirected to UART. Bluetooth is enabled, and sensor data is sent to android application. If disabled, sensor data is directed only to the UART. If you are using the UART to make print to the PC/laptop, here are the settings your TCP client must be set too. Following is the UART configuration. 

  Select COM Port
  Baud rate: 9600
  Data: 8 bit
  Parity: none
  Stop: 1 bit
  Flow Control: none

Obtaining the Software

There are two basic ways to program the ADICUP3029 with the software for the ADXL362 PmodACL2.

  1. Dragging and Dropping the .Hex to the Daplink drive
  2. Building, Compiling, and Debugging using CCES

Using the drag and drop method, the software is going to be a version that Analog Devices creates for testing and evaluation purposes. This is the EASIEST way to get started with the reference design

Importing the project into CrossCore is going to allow you to change parameters and customize the software to fit your needs, but will be a bit more advanced and will require you to download the CrossCore toolchain. Below screen shot shows how to open project from CCES Example browser.
