Help with ADC
PostPosted: Mon Sep 09, 2013 8:36 am     Reply with quote

Hello

I'm trying to work with the ADC now but I have some problems.
I want that a LED lights if the value is under half. But the LED lights allways. So I hope that someone can help me.

I use the dsPIC33FJ256MC710A, the PCD compiler from CCS and the dsPICDEM MCLV development boar.
Code:

#include <33FJ256MC710A.h>
#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>

#fuses XT,NOWDT
#use delay(clock=8000000)

#define LED PIN_E1

void main()
{
    int x;

    set_tris_e(0);      //LED output
    set_tris_b(1);      //input
    setup_adc_ports(sAN8);
    setup_adc(ADC_CLOCK_INTERNAL);
    set_adc_channel(0);
    delay_ms(10);

    while(1)
    {
        x=read_adc();
        if(x<511)
        {
            output_high(LED);
        }
        else
        {
            output_low(LED);
        }
        delay_ms(500);
    }
}

two comments
1) normally you don't use adc_clock_internal, check the datashet for when you should...

2) what's the resolution of the ADC ? Normally you have to specify how many bits( 8, 10, 12 depending on the PIC type)

also confirm that your ADC source is 'active' and not 'stuck' either high or low.

hmm..
setup_adc_ports(sAN8);
setup_adc(ADC_CLOCK_INTERNAL);
set_adc_channel(0);


you've setup AN8 but select channel 0 .....

again , check the datasheet, but that just looks wrong...
I'd think set_adc_channel(8); might be right...
