Melexis MLX90363 Triaxis® Magnetometer & Arduino MCU – The Details (2)
Implementing more messages and getting the startup sequence right …
↓↓↓ Complete description, time index and links below ↓↓↓
Last time we’ve established the basic library structure based on C++ unions and got the MLX90363 up and running using no operation messages (link below). However, during power on startups our library threw some errors. It’s time to fix that.
We’ll first implement three more messages to eliminate the errors. Then we’ll come up with a working reboot sequence for the MLX90363, to get it reliably into a defined state. For reasons that will become clear, this will include standby messages.
00:00 Intro - implementing more OpCodes to avoid errors
01:31 OpCodes - we might see after power on
03:08 Interleave - of MOSI commands and MISO responses
05:23 Ready message - first MISO messages after a reset
06:40 Error message - slave throwing some kind of error
07:48 NTT message - slave has nothing to transmit (NTT)
09:18 Code 1 - ready, error and NTT MISO messages
17:27 Test 1 - no library error, but inconsistent behavior
20:04 Reboot message - resetting the slave
21:50 Code 2 - reboot message and reboot during begin()
26:05 Test 2 - consistent startup behavior, but it’s an error
27:18 Standby message - putting the slave into standby
29:00 Startup sequence - the right messages in order
33:55 Code 3 - standby message and extended begin()
39:02 Test 3 - consistent startup behavior, no error
40:13 Wrap-up - getting magnetic data is next, bye

MF 70: 134mm x 46mm KT 150: 150mm x 150mm ... tells me that the MF 70 is meant for smaller parts and smaller tools.

    Displayport is AC coupled at the source, so additional ac coupling caps arent needed at the converter. In fact, one of the key uses of this chip is to convert displayports ac coupled serdes into a dc coupled tdms signal. Secondly, strictly speaking this is to enable a dual-mode displayport connector to output to dvi, as true displayport signalling is actually packet based, and can run on anywhere from 1 to 4 lanes in differing applications.

    Hello Robert, I am a little bit confused... Is there a difference between RS422 seen as communication protocol and electrical interface? Because I am considering an encoder line driver 5V Rs422 and I don't understand what the RS422 means in this case. I think it just means that we have a differential conversion in rs422 differential signal. Is it corrrect?

    • @robertssmorgasbord
      @robertssmorgasbord Місяць тому

      RS422 is a physical specification for transmitting/receiving asynchronous serial data (differential signaling, signal levels etc.). RS422 doesn't care about the logical format of the serial data transmitted (e.g. 7 data bits, no parity bits two stop bits - or - 8 data bits, parity bit, one stop bit). You could transfer the same serial data via RS232, RS422, etc.. Hope that clarifies things.

However, +/- 0.epsilon V wouldn't work (e.g. +/- 0.9V), because the minimum differential voltage (Vod) under load is +/-2V. +/-1V is in that case the minimum on the signal lines under load.

      @robertssmorgasbord Місяць тому

      You're probably experience a problem related to the shorting issue I discussed in the video ( ua-cam.com/video/qub3yzqEwek/v-deo.html ). I guess in your case the power supply of your microcontroller and MAX6675 has some (albeit small) potential to the housing / the stainless steel of your machine. This causes a current loop through the sensor into the MAX6675 which messes up the measurements. There are three possible solutions for that problem: 1) Make sure your MCU and MAX6675 are galvanically isolated from the housing of the machine. 2) Use an isolated thermocouple. 3) Galvanically isolate the MAX667 (see ua-cam.com/video/6rEJh4yPekg/v-deo.htmlsi=7D7Fo1dMdy6NBIwd ).

    I saw another UA-camr using paint thinner 647 with good results, the thinner dissolves the toner ink when wet and it covers up the small gaps as it dries up. Should be way cheaper than the spray.

      Well, that UA-camr you mentioned might be on to something. 647 contains butyl acetate, ethyl cellulose, acetone, butyl alcohol and toluene. It seems to be a secret what's in the density spray. 400ml of the density spray are about 10€, 5l of 647 are about 15€, so there's that. However, 647 seems not to be available in Germany (too toxic?).

    Sir, first of all thanks a lot for the video. Iam making a similar temp Data acquisition system with arduino. I have to measure 2.5m underwater. Should i use a thermocouple or thermistor? Please reply.

    • @robertssmorgasbord
      @robertssmorgasbord Місяць тому

      OK, when to use a thermocouple or a thermistor basically comes down to the temperature range you want to measure. Since you're talking about 2.5m under water, I guess you're measuring "normal" water temperatures between 0°C and a few dozen °C. Thermocouples a great for measuring very high temperatures (hundreds °C), but that's not really necessary in your application. So I would go with a thermistor. Anyway, if it fits your application you should consider using a digital sensor like the DS18B20/DS18S20 ( ua-cam.com/video/XUm9RPWRBx8/v-deo.htmlsi=rNz_LZVcwO_D3_HV ). Here I'm using one to measure the temperature of a water bath: ua-cam.com/video/EP1Lc-g3uY0/v-deo.htmlsi=2YE7tQAADdcGYFHu .

It's just a long flat piece of spring steel rolled up in that housing. To be honest, I didn't dare to open it up, because the spring is rolled up in there with some force. I guess you could increase the spring force by rolling it up some more, respectively, reduce the spring force by unrolling it.

    This is great info; I wish I had found it first. After following other tutorials I have run into all of the problems and dead ends that you illustrate. I could have saved days! I'm making a sawtooth wave and would like 4096 steps in 1 to 10 ms. I've since realized that this won't happen, but after going from a Nano, to an ESP32-C6 to a Teensy 4.1, I have updates every 4.5 us (MCP4921, 1 channel). I'll have to slow that down a bit for reliability. The output using the Teensy looks awful when zoomed in to the levels you used. I'm looking at filtering, bypassing, and lowering the slew rate on the Teensy output but so far nothing works.

    I am trying to capture the wave in the oscilloscope. The sensor works fine. I am getting correct temperature reading in Arduino ide serial monitor. But when connected to oscilloscope, i am not able to debug which part is which. I even connected the diode like u said to differentiate the master signal from the slave. My professor wants me to find the 16 bits of the temperature that is stored in scratch pad and the digital value 16 bits has to match with the celcius value shown in the ide. Even after connecting diode and changing the resistor to 1.5k, i am not able to differentiate anything. The oscilloscope that I use is tektronix DPO 5204. How can i debug it. ( i am using in normal power supply mode only. Not parasitic mode)

    • @robertssmorgasbord
      @robertssmorgasbord Місяць тому

      The diode in line with the pull up resistor is just there so you can detect the parasitic power delivery by the master to the slaves. It doesn't help you detecting if the master or a slave is transmitting. It's the 100 Ohm resistors in line with the slaves' bus pins that help to differentiate between the master or the slaves transmitting ( ua-cam.com/video/UIx8R1LV6HM/v-deo.html ). That's all coming to my mind right now. Hope it helps!

    Very good video. Super interesting. I have been working with these devices here in Argentina for a year. I am currently analyzing the intermediate frequency with artificial intelligence and fast fourier transform. The idea is to reduce false positives and use this module in alarms. I also did tests with the RCWL-0516, which is much inferior, and I noticed that there is a lot of influence between these modules. In fact, the emission is so low that it can be increased by adding more modules (just feeding them, without taking the data from the added modules). I don't know how this practice will influence the HB-100, but I'm going to try it. Thank you so much. Greetings from Buenos Aires.

    • @robertssmorgasbord
      @robertssmorgasbord Місяць тому

      Thanks for the praise! Doing a FFT on the output signal is definitely the way to go if you want to get the most out of these modules. Please let me know how using additional modules as transmitters works out for you. I think the challenge will be to make sense of the signal output of the single mixer, since the oscillators are not in sync (maybe close enough in frequency, but definitely out of phase). And greetings from Germany!

    • @dbagnis
      @dbagnis Місяць тому

      @@robertssmorgasbord What you say about ECWL-0516 is very interesting. From what I can understand, the device is basically a super-regenerative receiver. This puts the system at times in transmission and at times in reception. This change is given randomly over time. This randomness manifests itself as white noise, which is emitted in the form of RF with the frequency of the tank circuit between the printed circuit and the distributed capacities. The work changes are altered by a secondary antenna that increases the emitted power. It also affects the time it remains in the reception state. I also tried modulating the RF output with audio and it seems to work. More tests would have to be done. It's very interesting.

    The MK2788 chip on the mains voltage side appears to contain a GaN FET, so that part of the advertising seems to be correct... The complete ripoffs with a cheap 5V2A adapter inside are usually completely unbranded. It appears that EUR 10 to 15 can buy an actual GaN charger. Pity the output ports weren't tested on this one. I've got a cheap 65W GaN charger that I just tried, and it will simultaneously supply 20V or 9V to one port and 5V to the other, according to the PD or QC profiles negociated. Plugging in an extra consumer does blink the other ports, but that's merely an annoyance. There's a lot of crap out there, but I've also had store-brand chargers fail me big time. Thanks for the teardown, it goes to show that there are lots of things to test when evaluating chargers, and checking if the negociation actually is per-port wasn't on my list yet...
