Help with GP2D12.c driver
PostPosted: Wed Nov 15, 2006 5:05 pm     Reply with quote

Hi all,

I previously posted a message on how to read a voltage value with the A/D pin on a PIC18F8722:
http://www.ccsinfo.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=28884

In the meantime, I came across a driver for the for the IR sensor I am using (different model, but exactly the same output -> 0.5-2.8 volts). I incorporated that into my code and also changed the LEFT_ADC_CHANNEL value to 0, but I'm still not getting the expected value. With a range of 0.5-2.8 volts, I'm expecting digital values from 26-143...but I'm actually seeing around 190-220. If anyone could offer advice, I'd appreciate it. Maybe the ADC just isn't working on my PIC?

Code:

#include <18F8722.h>
#device adc=8
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <math.h>

#fuses HS,NOWDT,NOPROTECT,PUT,NOLVP
#use delay(clock=10000000)
#use rs232(baud=9600, xmit=PIN_G1, rcv=PIN_G2, stream=PC)

#include <GP2D12.c>


main()
{
    int value=0;

   init_objectSensors();

   while(1)
   {
      value = read_leftObjectSensor();
      fprintf(PC, "%u\r\n", value);
   }

} // end of main

You didn't have to start a whole new thread. If you add a post to an
existing thread, it will be "bumped" to the top of the list. Everyone will
see it.

You're referring to this CCS driver:
c:\program files\picc\drivers\gp2d12.c

The CCS driver defaults to using A/D channel 1:
Code:
#define LEFT_ADC_CHANNEL   1

But your hardware in your previous thread was setup to use channel 0:
Code:
 set_adc_channel(0);

I already changed that before posting this thread.
