  5. PH Module Project With STM32F303 Microcontroller Series

What's the purpose of this project?

In this section, we are going to launch the PH Module using an ARM microcontroller, STM32F series. To use more conveniently and optimally in this project, we use two ready modules GB625EN and GebraBit STM32F303. These two modules contain the minimum necessary elements of the PH Sensor and the STM32F microcontroller, which are provided by the GebraBit team to facilitate the work.

What are we going to learn in this tutorial?

In this tutorial, in addition to setting up and using the PH module, you will get to know how to set the various parts of the STM32 microcontroller to set up this sensor using the ADC, how to use the GB625EN module specific library and driver file. You will also learn how to declare functions and finally receive sensor data in the Keil compiler.

What do we need to start this project?

As you probably know, we need some hardware and software to do this project. The titles of these hardware and software are provided to you in the table below and you can prepare/download them by clicking on each of them and get ready to start.

Required hardware
Required software
Keil compiler 
 STM32CubeMX program
 ST-LINK/V2 programmer

First as shown in the image below, we connect the GebraBit PH module to the GebraBit STM32F303 module as follows:

Note: Set the VCC SEL jumper to 3v3 otherwise the module will not work properly .
Finally, we will see the value of the PH in Real Time in the “Watch1” window of the Keil compiler in the “Debug Session” mode.
Note: To have more accurate data calibrate the module as mentioned below.

STM32CubeMX settings

In the following, we review the settings related to each of the “ADC”, “RCC”, “Debug”, ”GPIO” and “Clock” sections in the STM32F303 microcontroller to develop the GebraBit PH module.

RCC settings

Due to the presence of “8Mhz” crystal in the GebraBit STM32F303 module, we select the “external clock” in the “RCC” section:

Debug & Programming settings

Regarding the access to “SWCLK” and “SWDIO” pins in the GebraBit STM32F303 module, to reduce the number of pins during “Debug & Programming”, in the “SYS” block, we select the “Serial Wire” option in the “Debug” section:

ADC settings

To get the PH module output voltage with the GebraBit STM32F303 module enable the ADC in single-ended mode and select PA0 as ADC1_IN1:

GPIO settings

The Gebrabit STM32F303 module has built-in LED and pushbutton in PB6 and PA3 pins so we make the PB6 pin as GPIO_OUTPUT and PA3 pin as GPIO_INPUT to make the cube setting more functional and let you make your ideas into reality with these two modules.

Clock settings

The “clock” settings for each part of the STM32F303 microcontroller in this code, are as follows:

Project Manager settings

“Project Manager” settings are as follows, first go to the Code Generator tab, and then in the Generated files section select the highlighted setting and active it

here we have used the “MDK-ARM” version “5.32” compiler:

After completing all the above settings, we can develop our code easily just by one click on “GENERATE CODE” and adding the PH library and driver (provided by GebraBit).
You can download the “STM32Cube MX”, “library”, “driver” and KEIL project at the end of this tutorial.

PH library and driver

In addition to the modular design of various sensors and ICs, GebraBit tries to provide a variety of structured and hardware-independent libraries in C language for the ease of users in setting up and developing software.
For this purpose, after preparing each GebraBit module, the users can refer to the “tutorial” section of the desired module and download the dedicated library, which contains the “ .h” and “ .c” files (Header and Source) and a sample training program under “GebraBit STM32F303”, “GebraBit ATMEGA32A” or “Arduino” development boards.
All the defined functions and structures in the library are commented in full detail and all the received parameters in the arguments of the functions and their return values, are briefly explained. Since the libraries are hardware-independent, the user can easily add the library in any of their favorite compilers and develop it by the desired microcontroller and development board.

GebraBit_PH.h header file

In this file the casing of the module and the configurations related to each of the module’s internal blocks are defined in the form of a “STRUCT” with the name GebraBit_PH Finally, in the Debug Session environment, all the configurations related to each block can be seen in real time.

PH struct

All sensor properties and sensor data are defined in this “struct” and all the information and configuration implemented on the sensor are stored in this “structure” and you can see the changes in each part of the sensor in the “Debug Session” environment.

				
					typedef struct PH
{
            uint8_t                            TEMP;
            uint8_t                            ACID_TEMP;
            uint8_t                            NEUTRAL_TEMP;
            uint32_t                           ADC_RAW_VALUE;
            float                              ACID_VOLTAGE;
            float                              NEUTRAL_VOLTAGE;
            float                              PH_VALUE;
            float                              ADC_INPUT_VOLTAGE_VALUE;
            ADC_HandleTypeDef                  ADC_HANDELER;
}GebraBit_PH;

				
			

Declaration of functions

At the end of this file, all the functions for receiving data from the module and calibration are declared:

				
					void GB_PH_Configuration(GebraBit_PH * PH);
void GB_PH_Two_Point_Calibration(GebraBit_PH * PH, float Acid_Voltage, uint8_t Acid_Temp, float Neutral_Voltage, uint8_t Neutral_Temp);
void GB_PH_Update_Slution_Temp(GebraBit_PH * PH, float Temp);
void GB_PH_Calculate_PH(GebraBit_PH * PH);
void GB_PH_Get_Data(GebraBit_PH * PH);

				
			

GebraBit_PH.c source file

In this file, which is written in C language, all the functions are commented on in full detail, and all the parameters received in the arguments of the functions and their return values are clearly explained so we confine to these explanations and invite users to check this file directly for more information.

Sample program in Keil

After making the Keil project by STM32CubeMX and adding the “GebraBit_PH.c” library provided by GebraBit, we will examine the “main .c” file of the sample tutorial and view the output of the GebraBit_PH module in the “watch” part in the Keil compiler “Debugging” environment.

Description of “main.c” file

functions required by the GebraBit PH module have been added to the structures. In the next part, a variable named PH_Module of the GebraBit_PH structure type (this structure is in the GebraBit_PH header and is explained in the GebraBit_PH library description section) is defined for the configuration of the GebraBit PH module:

				
					/* USER CODE BEGIN PTD */
GebraBit_PH PH_Module;
/* USER CODE END PTD */

				
			

In the next part of the written code, using the GB_PH_Configuration (&PH_Module) function and GB_PH_Two_Point_Calibration (&PH_Module, Module Voltage Value in solution 1, Temp solution 1, Module Voltage Value in solution 2, Temp solution 2) , we set the GebraBit PH module and finally, in the while part of the program, the data is read from the sensor and ADC value is continuously received:

				
					  /* USER CODE BEGIN 2 */
  GB_PH_Configuration(&PH_Module);
  GB_PH_Two_Point_Calibration(&PH_Module,1.91,DEFAULT_TEMP,1.43,DEFAULT_TEMP);
  /* USER CODE END 2 */

  /* Infinite loop */
  /* USER CODE BEGIN WHILE */
  while (1)
  {
    /* USER CODE END WHILE */
    
    /* USER CODE BEGIN 3 */
    //GB_PH_Update_Slution_Temp(&PH_Module,TEMP);
    GB_PH_Get_Data(&PH_Module);
    HAL_Delay(500);
  }
  /* USER CODE END 3 */

				
			

Note: to ensure accuracy, the probe needs to be calibrated for its first use and after not being used for an extended period of time (once a month ideally). This tutorial uses two-point calibration and therefore requires two standard buffer solutions of 4.0 and 7.0.


1. Wash the probe with distilled water, then absorb the residual water-drops with paper. Insert the pH probe into the standard buffer solution of 7.0, stir gently, until the values are stable.
2. After the output voltage is stable, record the voltage and give it to calibration function as Neutral_Voltage.
3. Wash the probe with distilled water, then absorb the residual water-drops with paper. Insert the pH probe into the standard buffer solution of 4, stir gently, until the values are stable.
4. After the output voltage is stable, record the voltage and give it to calibration function as Acid_Voltage.

 

Caution: the module is not waterproof and avoid getting the electrical components wet.

Program output

After generating the Keil project using STM32CubeMX and adding the library, we connect the STLINK V2 programmer to the GebraBit STM32F303 using the STLINKV2 adapter:

STLINKV2 adapter:

By connecting the STLINK V2 programmer to the GebraBit STM32F303, there is no need to apply power to the GebraBit STM32F303 and GebraBit PH modules, because they receive their supply voltage directly from the STLINK V2 programmer.
Finally, enter the “Debug” mode and by adding the “PH_Module” to the “watch” window and running the program, we can see the changes in the PH value of the GebraBit PH module:

In the following, you can download the “GebraBit PH module setup project” using the GebraBit STM32F303 module in the Keil environment, the “STM32CubeMX file”, the schematic of the modules, and the “PH datasheet”.

Program output video

The video of the module operation will be uploaded soon
