How to program digital potentiometer?

Hello, I'm new at this IC.
So, I am confused on how to programmed it.
I have Digital Potentiometer AD5260. It's a versatile memory, so it sets up on midpoint. I don't know how to change the resistance value.
I need it to be able to be programmed from min value to max value in certain times.
This is the link to the datasheet.
"Your text to link here...(Datasheet)":http://www.analog.com/en/digital-to-analog-converters/digital-potentiometers/ad5260/products/product.html

In the datasheet described the protocol programming. Uses a simple not addressable protocol.

(Idle state is #CS=1)

Possible pure software MCU pins-changing sending.

Prepare to sending:
* set #CS=0
* delay 5 ns (if need)

Now, send byte-value bit by bit (from MSB to LSB = 7,6,5,4,3,2,1,0) in such way:

NextBit:
* value of current bit set to the SDI (with the MCU command "rotate via Carry Flag"
* CLK=1
* delay 10 ns (if need)
* CLK=0
* delay 10 ns (if need)

repeat with the _next_ bit to NextBit label.

Make lock sended value & go to idle state:
* #CS=1

Also possible hardware SPI sending.

What the CPU/MCU You are using to drive the AD5260?

I used Arduino UNO as Microcontroller.

The connection is like this:
The pin is connected to:
Pin1 -A- +15Volt
Pin2 -W- Output
Pin3 - B- Ground
Pin4 -VDD- +15Volt
Pin5 -SHDN- +15Volt
Pin6 -CLK- Pin 13 Arduino
Pin7 -SDI- Pin 11 Arduino
Pin8 -CS- Pin 10 Arduino
Pin9 -PR- +15Volt
Pin10 -GND- Ground
Pin11 -VSS-Ground
Pin12 -VL- +5Volt
Pin13 -NC-No Connect
Pin14 -SDO-Pin 12 Arduino

And the code is like this:
#include "SPI.h" // necessary library
int ss=10; // using digital pin 10 for SPI slave select
int del=200; // used for various delays

void setup()
{
pinMode(ss, OUTPUT); // for SS pin
SPI.begin(); // wake up the SPI bus.
SPI.setBitOrder(MSBFIRST);
//ent MSB (most significant byte) first
}

void setValue(int value)
{
digitalWrite(ss, LOW);
SPI.transfer(0); // send command byte
SPI.transfer(value); // send value (0~255)
digitalWrite(ss, HIGH);
}

void loop()
{
for (int a=0; a=0; --a)
{
setValue(a);
delay(del);
}
}


But it won't work according the program.
The output is still in midpoint.

You must using the corect for the AD5260 mode of SPI (CPOL, CPHA):
void setup()
{
...
SPI.SetDataMode(SPI_MODE2)
}

AD5260 without autodetect SPI mode, use fixed mode.

CPOL CPHA

I know this sound very silly Start with pic micro first then move onto arduino

Eugene is very good at this however from a starters point of view start with something a little easier so you can get the hang of this before you move on First of all start with a 4066 learn how to use a port to address the 4066 then learn how to use a resistor ladder

Once you understand this the good idea to move onto electronic volume control pots by then you will understand how this works and you will understand decibels , interns of gain etc expressed in DB with the maths (very important this) , believe me it is All software and engineering is maths based You cannot do engineering without the maths and as far as programming is concerned you must have maths

Very boring I agree but it is that important Especially for doing what you want to do

Hence why i don't agree with universities doing away with maths, second ,third or fourth year ITS A MUST

It is believe me it is

I hate maths I hate maths because i have never been very good at maths because I buggered around at school IM BEING HONEST BUT ..... having been to university and having discovered what this country has truthfully cheated me out of and that's education and decent training I can tell you YOU need maths

You need maths for networking which is the way this is heading You need maths for art no jokes its all computerized You need Maths for woodwork technical drawing etc Scales bla bla bal

Boring I know


You need Maths for music


You need Maths for 3D cad its all fractions , decimals , trig , matrices, vectors etc So is music

And you need maths for electrical design , electronics even more so

And you need maths for business , databases , webpages even that simple even for working out propagation times etc

Spread sheets graphs you wait till you see how important this is

You need maths for everything you do in life

If you don't know how to transpose and resolve for x, y , z Y You are n basic terms fucked

if you don't have it yes rude to the point but you can laugh but you wont be soon because they are going to make you go back to work no matter what Yes

Because my friend if you don't have this now

You wont be able to iterate through a database
You wont understand connections times
You wont be able to do even 2 d drawing computer or otherwise
You wont understand spreadsheets
You wont be able to do even simple wood work projects metal work ,welding, technical drawing or anything in life all the decent jobs that pay a fair wage if nothing else They wont even employ you as a packer now without maths

No jokes

Its that important

How they can ever get rid of maths teachers is totally beyond me I don't care what they tell you what software is out there what computers or calculators they have You need Maths , you have to be able to do this by hand otherwise how will you ever know your answers are correct You wont

So this time listen to us because we know , more importantly, we know exactly how many of you will be unemployed if you don't know maths or how too at least the basics

Even simple arithmetic, correct times, tables fractions decimals , conversions , divide by multiply by etc

Don't laugh this is no joke you will see soon

Wont take that long,horrible , not easy but worth doing ,makes this difference between being a dummy treated a a dummy and being able to design or not to design

I am that serious about this because they are doing that much damage that we actually don't know how to correct this problem .... Don't care if your black or white or what ever its that serious

They cheating you out of a good education, so stand by me for change and help yourselves will you !!

Otherwise without being too rude, kiss your life goodbye and your future because they will take the piss out of you

I'm crude, I'm rude, but I'm honest and i tell it like it is

Ive had to be to make you see sense before they stuff your lives up as well

So take the mickey if you want too but I'm trying to help you see sense before its too late

An educated person will tell you Listen pal Going to war these days is a non entity

You wont win doesn't matter what side you take you wont win

An uneducated person will fight will go to war will become entrapped in politicians answers They will follow like sheep

An educated person will ask questions will want to know why ?? What for Why the wast human live's when that much money can be spent on bettering mankind

Making life easier making sure his bother / sister never ever fights to show them that war is

A wast of life, money, taxes,and is totally uneducated especially with this technology you cannot and wont ever win

The they will show you that fro every action there is an equal and opposite reaction You live by the sword you will die by the sword that pen is mightier
than sword

That educated persons, politicians use you as uneducated people to fight their battles for them whilst they laugh at you,scoffing at how they won a war using ignorant adolescent uneducated fools
Determined to control a world with your severe lack of education

If you knew what they could do in five seconds flat you wouldn't even bother because you would know this is a no win war

That's how they use you but that's me trying to tell you to stop being so stupid

Barbecue that what I can do to you without even having to lift a gun

No jokes Finish you in seconds internationally but that you see is information technology the art of war

I've tried it, but it still didn't work,

I've tried the same program above in AD8402, it works fine.
But it didn't work here,
Is there any possibility that i connected the pin wrong?

Thanks for your advice Mark,
I would like to learn about it more,
But the problem is the deadline is coming up,
So I need to finish it as fast as posssible.
Back theb, I didn't have anything to worry because it works,
But all of sudden it didn't work anymore.
I'm confuse because I use the same program back then.

I would like to learn about it when the chaos is calming down though.

You are *basically correct* connected Arduino to the AD5260.
Properly connected SPI-lines and other.
Except MISO

[code lang="cpp" line="none"]#include "SPI.h"
int ss=10;

void setup()
{
pinMode(ss, OUTPUT);
SPI.begin();
SPI.SetDataMode(SPI_MODE2)
SPI.setBitOrder(MSBFIRST);
}

void setValue(int value)
{
digitalWrite(ss, LOW);
SPI.transfer(value);
digitalWrite(ss, HIGH);
}

void loop()
{
for (int a=0; a

Ah, it did works, but the output isn't linear and unstable,
it's going up and down. After 15 Volt, it supposed to go back to 0 Volt, but, instead it going down to 14, then going up again to 15, then to 1.57, to 0.90, 2,60, kinda like that.
Sorry for my poor explanation.

Try SPI MODE3:


8

Oh, it did work,
But in the end, after the output is14.38, the output shows another random output (like 0.47, 1.,2, 9.4, 5.8, etc), and then 0.12.
Other than that, the output is linear.
Is there some glitch or something like that?

Oh, right, though SDHN and PR connected to 15Volt, it still works, and it still need delay for the program to work.

Nope, I plot it in Excel.

When You make the table of output voltages a few times, the results is same or flow?
Schematic is same as above?

So, You are use the AD5260 as resistance voltage divider. +15V is strong stabilized?
You are measure Output (W) when W is under LOAD or without LOAD?
If under LOAD, You must to buffering output with the OpAmp (follower), like on the schematic.

Schematic.

Or use the DigitalPOT as OpAmp gain control:

According to datasheet, the #SHDN & #PR (all digital inputs) is internally protected by R + Zener's diode.
So, connecting the #SHDN & #PR to the +15V is accept.

w

Sorry for being late in giving reply.
I need to finish my paper first.
I deeply apologized.

The result is same, the different one is just the random value which appeared at that point.
But when I try to give the different source for input,
It works just fine.

What do you mean by strong stabilize?

If I did as the schematic as above, did it mean the digital potentiometer works as voltage divider?
If I wanted to use it as LOAD for photovoltaic, what I have to do?
I tried to connect the positive of PV to W, and A is NC.
But it didn’t work.
