LCD display keep flashing
PostPosted: Sun Apr 25, 2010 7:19 am     Reply with quote

Code:
#include <18F4620.H>
#device adc=10
#fuses XT, NOWDT, NOPROTECT, BROWNOUT, PUT, NOLVP
#use delay(clock=2000000)
//#use rs232(baud=9600, xmit=PIN_C6, rcv=PIN_C7, ERRORS)

#include <LCD20x4.c>

//============================
void main()
{
int16 adc_value;
float volts;
 
lcd_init();

setup_adc_ports(AN0);
setup_adc(ADC_CLOCK_DIV_8);
set_adc_channel(0);
delay_us(20);

while(1)
  {
   adc_value = read_adc();
   volts = (float)(adc_value * 500)/1023.0;   
lcd_gotoxy(2,1);
   printf(lcd_putc, "\f%3.2fv", volts);
   delay_ms(500);
  }
}


printf(lcd_putc, "\f%3.2fC", volts);
if i replaced it by printf(lcd_putc, "%3.2fC", volts);
it will not keep flashing ,
but if the volt under 10 such as 9.56 it will display 9.56vv

it loop the \f.....
how can i solve it ? thank you

The problem is that your input voltage is higher than the Vref.
Using:
setup_adc_ports(AN0); // The +5v is used as a Vref.

I gues that you are using a Vin/2 voltage divider.
When the input voltage is higher than 10.0V, let says 10.6V you get:
(10.6V*500)/1023= 5.18V

You need to recalculate the voltage divisor in the input AN0 in order that Vin
by no way should be higher that +5V.

oh...i just made and example....i have not focus on the voltage...
you're right, the v max must be=<5V

Anyway thank you for your reply.

thank you PCM programmer:grin: , problem fixed.
This is the only way to fix it? add a if()

i try it that's good.
i also found if i use %3.0f it can auto provide a space before the no.
