Syntax Help
PostPosted: Tue Jun 14, 2005 10:12 am     Reply with quote
Hi-
I want to send a 16-bit command to a D/A from a PIC. The D/A accepts data MSB first.
My line of code to do this looks like this:
output_bit (PIN_B1, shift_left (valve, 1,0)
- the 1 and 0 are borrowed from another code and I don't know what it means.
Any info on what this syntax means and/or suggestions for coding this?
Thanks-
Sophi

Go here and get the current compiler manual.
http://www.ccsinfo.com/download.shtml

Or look for the CCS Help file in this folder:
c:\Program Files\Picc
You will find CCSC.HLP and CCSC.CHM.

Sophi,

You can also use the SPI to write the data out to the DAC. I do that with a 12 bit DAC sending the high byte first and then the low byte. Here is my subroutine to do that.
Code:

void SetDacVoltage(unsigned int16 voltage) {
   output_low (DAC_LD);             // Pulling this bit low allows new numbers to be accepted
   spi_write(MAKE8(voltage,1));     // Write out high byte first
   spi_write(MAKE8(voltage,0));     // Write out low byte next
   output_high(DAC_LD);             // Pull bit back high to latch data into device
}

I use an 18F6520 and this code has worked fine with the 12bit DAC, it should work just fine with the 16 bit DAC.

Thanks to PCM programmer for the link to the manual. All is well.
Thanks also to Bruce for the suggestion and the code.
