| Voltmeter with 7-segment display |
 Posted: Sat May 24, 2014 4:27 pm |
 |

hello,
I want to make a digital voltmeter based on the PIC16F676 and 3 digit max, 30v with a lower consumption of 15 mA. I already tested it but consumption was 30 mA.
Thank you |

post a schematic for your circuit and some code that drives it.
then help may be possible. otherwise what can you expect ? |

If really running from 30 volts, redesign the power supply to be closer to 5 volts using low power regulators, schottky diodes, etc. You could be wasting 10-20 ma just in the basic 5V power supply.
Be sure to set high or low any/all unused I/O pins.
Disable any internal peripherals you are not using.
Choose a lower clock frequency as 'transitions' consume power.
Experiment with the LED 'refresh' rate. Again slower is better but too slow is bad.
Read the uChip application notes about 'low power' designs.
Use low current LED displays.
As requested, upload your code and schematic. From there we can 'fine tune' both to reduce power.

Your link did not work for me.
I'm assuming your PIC circuit looks something like this. | Code: |

OK. I've guessed at your PIC circuit.
1) What is the value of the current limiting resistors?
2) Are you running the whole thing from a 30V supply?

my 2 cents
i think he means his INLET measurement span is 30vdc
NOT his PSU Vdd ....
if my hunch is right - this is a proteus -
CLASSIC school project - you are struggling to elicit details on.
i am not losing any sleep based on what i've seen.
has anybody who is
(dry behind the ears- && posted seriously,
more than a few times -&& done a muxed LED display )
USED it in a PRODUCT lately?
in my case - its at least 6 years in the PAST
since we have these newfangled (reflective) LCD's that can use
a single ma or two - to do the display job for us now.

any body can explain this line ?
TRISA=0b00010000;
PORTA=0x27;
TRISC=0b00000000;
PORTC=0x37;

easy as reading the datasheet !
1st line says to configure PORTA as one input( bit4) the rest outputs
2nd line says to send to PORTA the data '0x27' or '0010 0111' in binary
3rd line says to configure PORTC as all outputs ( '0'=output, '1' = input)
4th line says to send to PORTC the data '0x37' or '0011 0111' in binary
Now as to WHAT this code does in the program is up to you to comprehend.
This is all basic microcontroller information that should have been taught in the FIRST week of the course.It is vitally important to KNOW and forms the basis of everything else.

I understand line 1&3.
but confused with line 2&4.
why 27 & 37 ?

probably used as a 'power up' test of the LED segments to confirm they all light up ??? it would be nice to have this brief test,and the original programmer might have done it.
I don't know as I haven't seen a good schematic( properly labelled) let alone a 'paragrah of comments' detailing the pinout usage of the PIC , which normally would be in the first section of code. |

Oh, come on Sahu.
The lines are very close to your own thread dating back to February this year.
Like I said before, you can work out with pencil and paper what the effects are.
(Assuming you know whether the displays are CA or CC.)
