Hi again Michael,

I forgot to mention something that may be useful. We wired the 8 stages exactly like the wheel example of figure 26, page 15, of the AD7147 datasheet (Rev B, 07/2009). The register configuration I pasted above in the init structures should match this.

Thanks again for your support.
