| 16F688 and A/D converter problem |
 Posted: Tue Apr 08, 2008 7:20 am |

Hello.I am using compiler version 3.249 with the PIC 16F688.My project is to measure an analog sine signal 50 Hz .To test my Pcd board I used A/D converter to measure the Vp-p of the signal by searching for the max and the low part of the signal. So I have the A.D result and when the result is bigger then a value e.g. 750 I say to the microcontroller to turn on a led and when is below this point to turn off the led. So here we are.When the signal is bigger than the setpoint the led stays on as it should be.But when I get below the setpoint the led flashed on and off. I used the the RS232 port to see the analog data to the Hyperterminal. In Hyperterminal I saw that the A/D converter apart from reading lets say the correct value of the signal ,in this case 750 (the 750 value is the Vp-p 3,717V value that I am seeing the oscilloscope )
it reads values in the range of 900.So this is the reason that the led is not turning off as it should be below the setpoint but it flashes.I checked my analog signal and I it doesn’t have any noise. After an amount of checks I decided to change the microcontroller with a new one,but same things happened. Then I decided to change to a new type of microcontroller. I took the 18F2420 to see what would happened. I made the changes that should be done for the new controller and then I saw that with this controller I didn’t had the problem I mentioned before.I could see in the Hyperterminal that the analog value from the A/D converter was stable without any picks on the area of 900.So here is my question: Is there something that I should take in account when I am using PIC 16F688 ?Also in the datashhet I saw that PIC 16F688 doesn’t have any option of choosing –Vref for the A/D. Fot the +Vref there is the otion of choosing VDD or Vref pin as reference but for the –Vref there isn’t any option. I imagine that by default it chooses Vss for the –Vref.
I want to mention that I didn’t change nothing on my pcb when I changed the type of the microcontroller.I just made the appropriate changes (supply signals ,reset pin e.t.c.).So the pcb remained the same. Here is my code for both microcontrollers.

As you can see A/D routines are the same in both controllers. |

In your codes I can't see nowhere neither a setup_adc_port() nor a setup_adc() - the only want that is present is commented -.
And you are surprised to have problems with ADC module...
Start by adding this "mandatory" setup lines, and please make your code understandable by removing all these carriage returns, and adding indentation and comments.

The settings are being done as if he was working in assembler....
By hand.
This is the first comment. It is like the man who owns a dog, and yet barks himself. You are using a compiler. Let _it_ do it's job. There is a lot of stuff 'missing' from what is posted, which makes it impossible to be sure what is wrong (none of the declarations for the bits you are using in the control registers etc..). However, the first thing to do, would be to write compiler code, and see what happens. So:
1) Get rid of the fast_io declarations, unless you need them.
2) 'init', then becomes:
| Code: |
void init(void) {
setup_adc_ports(ALL_ANALOGS|VSS_VDD);
setup_adc(ADC_CLOCK_DIV_8);
set_adc_channel(0);
setup_comparator(NC_NC_NC_NC);
}
|
Most of the reading code, can be done with simply the read_adc function.....
However there are then the obvious problems:
First, when you change the ADC channel, you _must_ wait for the acquisition time of the chip, before triggering a read. At present, the code changes channel, and then immediately triggers the ADC (GO=1).
This will result in invalid values, depending on what voltage was on the last selected pin. I'd suspect this is part of the problem. This _will_ result in inaccurate readings on both chips.
Second, the code is not turning off the comparator module.
