Mastering SPI Communication with STM32

The Serial Peripheral Interface (SPI) is a popular communication protocol used in embedded systems, allowing multiple microcontrollers and peripherals to communicate efficiently. In this guide, we will explore how to set up SPI master/slave communication using two STM32F4 NUCLEOs, and particularly focus on using the HAL_SPI_TransmitReceive() function for data transmission.

Introducing the Problem

We want to set up one STM32F4 NUCLEO as the SPI master and another as the SPI slave. The goal is to transmit data from the master to the slave and vice versa. While working on this project, we encounter a few issues – particularly when handling button presses and ensuring that both devices interact smoothly.

Expected Behavior

Master: Upon pressing a button, the master should send data to the slave and read a response.

Slave: Upon receiving data, it should process the received information and respond accordingly.

The Initial Code

Let's break down the setup for both the master and the slave in our STM32 applications. Both devices need to initialize their SPI configurations properly.

Master Code (master_main.c)

SPI Handle Declaration:

Data Buffers:

SPI Initialization:
The method MX_SPI2_Init() sets up the SPI mode, direction, data size, and more.

Main Loop:
Check if the user button is pressed to initiate data transmission.

Slave Code (slave_main.c)

Data Buffers:
Similar to the master, define transmit and receive buffers.

SPI Initialization:
The slave initializes the SPI in slave mode.

Main Loop:
The slave checks for activation via GPIO and handles incoming data.

Troubleshooting Tips

During prototyping, the setup may not work as expected. Here are some common problems and resolutions:

1. Wiring Issues

One common cause of communication failures is improper wiring. Make sure to use a breadboard and double-check the connections for both MOSI, MISO, SCK, and CS pins.

2. Using an LED for Feedback

To visually confirm that the communication is working, we can add LEDs that toggle on certain events such as:

Successful transmission

Errors or timeouts

3. Modifying the Code

If the initial setup doesn’t work, don't hesitate to tweak the code. Replace your transmit/receive functions with simpler examples from STM32 libraries. For instance, you might want to include timeout checks explicitly in your handlers:

Conclusion

Setting up SPI communication with STM32 microcontrollers can be challenging, especially when transitioning from theory to practice. By following this guide, you should appreciate both the necessary code structure and the importance of debugging techniques when integrating SPI into your projects. If you encounter troubles, remember to verify connections, modify your approach, and keep iterating until you achieve the desired outcome.

Happy coding!
