i hope i could get some help here
Code: | #include <16f887.h>
#fuses HS,NOWDT,NOPUT,NOPROTECT,NODEBUG,BROWNOUT,NOLVP,NOCPD,NOWDT
#device adc=10
#use delay(clock=4000000)
#include "flex_lcd.c"
void main()
{
int16 adc_value;
float volts;
setup_comparator(NC_NC_NC_NC);
setup_adc_ports(sAN5);
setup_adc(ADC_CLOCK_DIV_32);
set_adc_channel(5);
lcd_init();
while(1)
{
adc_value = read_adc();
volts = (adc_value*5)/1023;
printf(lcd_putc, "\f%3.3f", volts);
delay_ms(500);}
}
|
i ran the code and the lcd didnt show the conversion.
vout of lm35dz to re0
&
gnd to re1
i checked and the lcd is working
i set up the connections based on the following link...

please advice. thanks ! |

What did it show?.
There is an obvious problem in the arithmetic. Your line:
volts = (adc_value*5)/1023;
needs to be:
volts = (adc_value*5)/1023.0;
As written, if you have an ADC value of (say) 100, the code will calculate 5*100 (integer), and divide this by 1023 (integer), to get 0.
In C, the type used for arithmetic, is the 'highest' type for the components involved in the arithmetic. In this case, int_16. You need to force a component to be a _float_, to get the float result from float arithmetic (otherwise you will get the result of integer arithmetic, converted to a float). Adding a decimal point to the declaration of the divisor, forces this to be a float constant, and float arithmetic to be used here.

Thanks!
erm but another problem occured..
the hyperterminal is not showing anything. with this code
Code: |
#include <16f887.h>
#fuses HS,NOWDT,NOPUT,NOPROTECT,NODEBUG,BROWNOUT,NOLVP,NOCPD,NOWDT
//#fuses HS,NOWDT,NOPROTECT,NOLVP
#device adc=10
#use delay(clock=4000000)
#include <flex_lcd.c>
#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <math.h>
#use rs232(baud=9600, xmit=PIN_C6, rcv=PIN_C7)
void main()
{
float voltage,tempdeg, temp;
lcd_init(); // always call this 1st
lcd_gotoxy(1,1);
lcd_putc("volt:");
lcd_gotoxy(1,2);
lcd_putc("temp:");
set_tris_e(0xff);
setup_adc_ports(sAN5);
setup_adc(adc_clock_div_32);
setup_comparator(NC_NC_NC_NC);
do
{
set_adc_channel(5); //re0/an5
delay_us(500); //delay
temp = read_adc(); // starts the conversion/read the rsult
voltage = (temp*5)/1023.0;
tempdeg = 100*voltage;
lcd_gotoxy(8,1);
printf(lcd_putc,"%2.7f",voltage);
lcd_gotoxy(8,2);
printf(lcd_putc,"%2.7f",tempdeg);
delay_ms(1000);
}while (true);
[b]do
{
getch();
printf("%2.7f",voltage);
delay_ms(1000);
getch();
printf("%2.7f",tempdeg);
}while (true);[/b]
} |
please help. thanks. |

Two things:
1) How is it ever going to send anything to hyperterminal?.
As shown, the code sits sending to the LCD. It'll never reach the second lot of code to send stuff to hyprterminal.....
2) Have you got a working serial connection?. If you are testing with the serial, prove this is working, before wondering if something else is wrong. A simple single line at the start of the main, sending something like '"Sytem alive", will prove you have working comms. You are using 'HS' for the oscillator, but have the crystal speed shown as 4MHz. HS is borderline at this speed (XT is recommended for 4MHz). Generally, unless you have a very low gain crystal, HS will overdrive it at 4MHz, and can result in the oscillator running significantly 'off frequency', which will affect serial comms. How is your serial wired?.
