PIC12F675 - Problem with ADC

[Charles J]

Hi,
I have problem with the ADC conversion, the variable "value" contain just the LSB of the 10 bits ADC conversion. What is the manipulation to obtain "value" with the 10 bits ?

This is the code example :

#include <12F675.h>
#device ADC=10
#fuses INTRC_IO,NOWDT,NOPUT,NOPROTECT,NOCPD,MCLR
#use delay (clock=4000000) // Quartz de 4Mhz
#define OUT1 PIN_A5 // Signal de sortie sur RA5


//******D�claration des variables******//
long value; // utilis� dans la conversion Analog/num�rique


//******Programme principal******//
void main(void)
{

set_tris_a(0b00011101); // RA0, RA2 3 et 4 en entr�e
setup_adc(ADC_CLOCK_DIV_8);
setup_adc_ports(sAN0|VSS_VDD); // RA0 en entr�e analogique
setup_comparator(NC_NC_NC_NC); // D�sactive le mode comparateur

//***Initialisation***//
output_low(OUT1); // Initialisation sur un �tat bas

set_adc_channel(0);
delay_us(10);
value=read_adc();

while(1)
{
output_low(LED);
value=read_adc();
delay_us(value);
output_high(LED);
delay_us(value);
} // fin du while(1)
} // fin du main

You are already getting 10bits.
The problem you are seeing, is that the delay_us function, only accepts variables of 8bits. Hence the extra bits are then getting thrown away.
There have been modified versions of this function posted here in the past, to accept a 'long'.

Best Wishes

Thank a lot !
This problem is now resolved
