every 256th sample is missing when I read ADC via I2S with DMA
Posted: Mon Dec 14, 2020 5:09 pm
Hello guys,
I want to use the ESP32s internal DAC and ADC with a very high sampling rate (200kHz), so I use the I2S with DMA.
When I connected the DAC to the ADC and I sent a 20 kHz sine wave (10 samples per period) to the DAC, I got an ALMOST correct result. I can see in my ADC data a period is repeated every 10 steps.
However, it happens that some samples are omitted. This happens every 255 sample.
Example Data:
And this error ocurres 255 samples later again:
The DAC seems not to be the problem because I deactivated it and used a DebugPin instead and still the same error ocurred.
I also changed the buffer size and the sampling rate, but without any success.
Anybody has an explanation for this problem or knows how to solve it?
Here the code of my configuration:
Thank your very much for helping me!
Joseph
