HDC1080 Try

I've been trying to get some simple data from a new chip I got. The temp data never changes and I'm doing something wrong with the math. I've attached a picture of the TV screen and code.
Thanks for looking.

  _clkmode = xtal1 + pll16x      '80 MHz system clock
  _xinfreq = 5_000_000

    'I2C pins
scl  =  20
sda  =  21
Bitrate = 10000  'I2C @ 50Khz    for longish cables

HDC     = $40           'I2C 7 bit address
Config_reg  = $02       'config register address
trigger     = $00       'Trigger byte &  temperature output register
Hum_out     = $01       'humidity output register

    On the math part, you need to do multiplication BEFORE division. Otherwise you will get zero.

    temp_C := ((temper*165)/65536)-40)

    But the temper value looks way too large. 65028 will be 123.72°C ???

    I'm not sure if you need the configuration RST bit-15 set, as the datasheet examples never touch it, and you're shifting the returned temperature and humidity values in the wrong direction; bits [01:00] are unused, so you need to shift right by 2 to get the 14-bit value.

    Bean is correct that dividing a 14-bit number by 2^16 results in loss of all digits, but even with multiplying before dividing you still lose fractional digits.
    The temperature ranges from -40 to +125, a span of 165. With 14-bit resolution, each lsb equals 0.0107 degrees. The operation temper := temper >> 2 - 4000 gets you degrees x 100; 1 = -3999, 16383 = 12383.

    If you don't need that resolution, keep temper and humid at 16-bits and use; temper := temper * 165 / 65536 - 40 and humid := humid * 100 / 65536.

    If I'm reading the datasheet properly, the measurements are triggered with a write to register $00. Then after waiting for the HDC1080 to complete, the measurements are read from $00 and $01.
    A possible problem that I see here is re-addressing the register for the read begins another sample. If it's not a problem, then the i2c method readWordB can be used instead of the readByte and readNexts with shifting and or'ing. I also don't know if the readNext method even works with this device, as the HDC1080 returns 16 bits from a single register address; I've never seen that before.

    I included an arbitrary method for non-standard devices, to use: i2c.arbitrary(@local_long,1,@local_long,4). You'll have to declare local_long and load local_long := HDC << 1 | 1 into it before executing, the temperature will be in bits[31:18] and humidity in bits[15:02] afterward.

    Lastly, the PASM version of that I2C driver is intended for high speeds. The Spin version of that driver runs at about 20Kbps and uses the same methods without consuming a cog.

    Edited because I forgot how my own code works
  • Thanks Bean & Chris
    I'll make some mods and have another go of it
  • Getting closer. Thanks Chris for the ARBITRARY method!
    BUT, although the 32 bit value from the HDC keeps updating every 3 seconds as it should. everything else stays the same and the temper and humid BIN read nothing. I've tried other ways of masking but I think BITWISE AND(&) is the right way.

  • Hey AGCB did you get the code for the BME280 to work successfully?
  • You are correctly using the immediate value of local_long when you display the binary value, but are using the address of local_long when applying the masks.
    I tried converting the returned binary value into temp and humidity and discovered another problem in that the i2c.arbitrary method reads little-endian.
    The easiest/laziest fix is:
    tempC := local_long.byte[0] << 8 | local_long.byte[1]
    tempC := tempC * 165 / 65536 - 40
    
    RH := local_long.byte[2] << 8 | local_long.byte[3]
    RH := RH * 100 / 65536
    
    Looks like it's about 19c and 43% RH there.

    For some reason I didn't see your reply. I've been busy and not programming.

    That took care of the problem and it now works. I get mixed up with that @ operator. Still no handle on it.

    I'll try to clean up the code and add it to my weather station.

    Thanks very much Chris!

    Chris

    Could not the value just be reversed with >< to get big-endian? I'm less than novice!
