| PIC24 solar tracker - Need your help urgently. |

I use PIC24fj128gb110 to create solar tracker project. First we want to store the value from LDR. We tried to config A/D in CCSC but it didn't work. Analog value didn't show to LCD. and this is the code. Please help me.
| Code: |
#include <24FJ128GB110.h>
#fuses HS, NOWDT, NOPROTECT, NOJTAG
#device ADC = 10
#use delay(clock=8000000)
#include <LCD_flex.c>
//Button//
#define Start_button PIN_D4
#define Stop_button PIN_D5
//LED//
#define Start_LED PIN_A0
#define Stop_LED PIN_A1
#define Clockwise_direction PIN_A2
#define CounterClockwise_direction PIN_A3
//Analog//
#define LDR1 PIN_B0
#define LDR2 PIN_B1
void main(void)
{
unsigned int16 LDR1_value;
unsigned int16 LDR2_value;
set_tris_a(0x00);
set_tris_d(0xff);
while (TRUE)
{
lcd_init(); // Always call this first.
delay_ms(200);
if (!input(Start_button))
{
output_high(Start_LED);
lcd_putc("\Solar Tracker\n");
lcd_putc("\----Start----\n");
delay_ms(1000);
setup_adc_ports(sAN2);
setup_adc(ADC_CLOCK_INTERNAL);
set_adc_channel(2);
while(1)
{
delay_us(10);
LDR1_value = Read_ADC();
delay_ms(100);
printf(lcd_putc,"\fdata1=%d\n",LDR1_value);
}
}
else if (!input(Stop_button))
{
output_high(Stop_LED);
}
}
}

Comments like this are not helpful. | Quote: | | We tried to config A/D in CCSC but it didn't work. |
What does not work?
What does work?
What do you expect to happen?
How are your LDR's connected?
How are your switches wired?
...........
Read the CCS forum guide.

Thank you, Mike
and I very sorry that I gave you less detail in my question.
I want to get the data from LDR in integer form. First I know that PIC24FJ128GB110 has 10 bit analog, 16 channel. Then I tried to test with potentiometer and see the value change at LCD but It didn't show the correct value and moreover when I increase or decrease by turning potentionmeter, the value was still the same. After that I think it maybe have a problem about config ADC. I tried everything and see the example on your website and it all the same. Please give me some advice. Thank you and hope you will help me find the solution of this problem.

This is NOT my website, it's the CCS user's forum, and you have still not answered my original questions.
If you are having problems setting registers either:-
(1) Study the .h file to work out what can and cannot be done.
(2) Complain to CCS if what you should have, is not in the .h file.
(3) Complain to CCS if what is in the .h file, does not work.
(4) Use the PIC data sheet, and set the registers directly.
Mike
PS. You've now made the thread difficult to follow with your wide image. |

As well as Mike's comments, there are quite a few others that apply:
1) An LDR, produces a resistance change, not a voltage change. There must therefore be some circuitry to generate a voltage from this (at least a resistor), and for the resistance range involved with most standard LDR's, an amplifier _will_ be needed to meet the analog input impedance requirements of the PIC.
2) Your defines in the header, refer to the LDR's being on B0, and B1, yet in the code you select AN2, which is B2. This pin is used for quite a few other things, and you need to ensure these are 'off' before trying to use it as an analog input. It is the USB -I/O pin, also the B input to comparator 2, and useable as a re-mappable peripheral I/O pin.
3) Have you actually verified your chip is actually running?. A simple toggle an I/O pin type code, doing nothing else, and verify that the pin stays at the specified level for the specified time, to ensure your oscillator is starting, running at the right frequency, and supplies are connected to the right pins. I have doubts about your clock, unless you are running off a 16MHz crystal, since the default bit patterns in the CLKDIV register give division by 2, unless you specify otherwise.
#use delay(crystal=8MHz, clock=8MHz)
Should set them, depending on your compiler version.

Hi,
Umm, to the OP, it's probably also not a good idea to use (not commonly recognized) acronyms like 'LDR' if you are looking for the widest possible input from forum members.
When I read that, I wondered what your Long Distance Relationship had to do with CCS 'C' programming......???
