A/D two

[jwebbo]

Hi everyone,i am seeking your help.
I am trying to program the PIC 16f877 microcontroller to accept multiple analog inputs and give readouts on the 7-seg display. the conversion is of a 10 bit resolution. my problems are that i cannot seem to get the pic to correctly display the adresh and adresl registers simultaneously. when i display the adresl anone,it is ok because i have tested it using the leds.CAN someone please help me with the codes to display both registers. in addition,i do not know how to measure multiple inputs.

lastly,when i send my codes to the lcd, nothing is displayed. can anyone help me with the correct assembly codes for this pic (16f877).

IF ANYONE HAS CODES I WOULD BE VERY GRATEFUL IF YOU POST THEM.

THANKS!

Hi

Unfortunately, I don't know that microcontroller. However, there are things in common among mcs.

As for example, how do you make your program wait until a/d conversion is completed? Usually you will get the low a/d result first, later follows high result. Therefore you need to wait until conversion is completed, what for example can be signaled by an interrupt or be determined by polling a status register/channel.

I thing, posting in your assembly code previously programmed is good idea, so we can examine it.

There is another aspect to consider:

Your a/d converting result is 10 bits long but with some certainty your mc has 8 bit long registers or 8 bit data bus width (what is more likely).

Therefore, low part of analog result may fill bit 0 up to 7 of low result register. The remaining 3 bits may be stored in bit position 0,1 and 2 of high result register.

So depending on what you are to convert, the high result register will mostly contains zeros. You may test this by a/d converting of the maximum analog value.

If you need a whole number for sending it to LCD display you can put together the contains of high and low result register by SHIFT and AND/OR instructions: whole_number = high * 10H + low

thanks for your response.
Here is my codes. note that this code is working on my 16f877 pic.the codes only displays the values of the adresl register(0-255) although it is a 10 bit conversion. i do not know to how to combine the two registers.please help with this.

also the adc is only responding to inputs to RAO/ANO.i have tried changing the adcon0 register's bits 5-3 to convert various channels inputs but it has not worked.

how may i display multiple inputs on the sev seg display one after the other.

Are you trying to display numbers 0 - 5 or 0 - 1023? Anyhow, here's the general idea.

If you want to display 0 - 5, I think that you want to treat ADRESH:ADRESL as a 2 byte number. Multiply it by 5 and then divide by 1023. You can get your result in volts by subtracting 1 until you can without getting a negative.

If you want to send a value between 0 - 1023 to the LCD: if you can subtract 1000 from it (2 byte math), then write a 1 in the thousands place of your number on the LCD or a zero if you can't. Then subtract the 100, 10, and 1 from the other positions and write the values to the LCD.

There's a program called MicroCGL (www.microcgl.com) that uses icons to generate a lot of the assembly code for you. The LCD that it uses isn't what you have specified (it generates code for a New Haven LCD) but you may get an idea from it - specifically - how to display numbers. It does AtoD, too.
