Configure ADC with rotation sensor
PostPosted: Fri Jan 13, 2017 1:25 pm     Reply with quote

Hi

After so long without programming, for professional reasons I'm back ...

But now it is time to take a course, so I come to ask for your help.

I have a positioning sensor "ri360p0-qr24m0-eliu5x2-h1151" and wanted to read with the values ​​on a PIC18F458

As the values ​​vary between 0 and 10V (0º-360º), how should I configure my ADC to print the terminal in degrees?

As the PIC works at 5V, I have to make a resistive divider for values ​​ranging from 0 to 5V (0º-360º), I had thought to use pin A3 with a reference value to facilitate calculations.

Can someone help me figure out how to make these calculations?
Code:

#include <18F458.h>
#device adc=10                                        //adc com 10bits
#fuses HS,NOWDT,NOPROTECT,NOLVP,BROWNOUT,STVREN
#use delay(clock=20000000)
#use rs232(baud=9600,parity=N,xmit=PIN_C6,rcv=PIN_C7,bits=8)

void main(void)
{
     
      int16 readadc, value;
      int8 i;

      setup_adc_ports(AN0_AN1_VSS_VREF); // colocar referencia em A3 escala 0-1023
      setup_adc(ADC_CLOCK_DIV_2);


while (TRUE)
{
   
     
      printf("Angle: %4lu\r", value);

}
}

So take stock.
You have a 10 bit DAC and 360 degrees.

So 360/1024=.3516 BEST CASE degrees per DAC count.

Sadly this is a ratio of 2.8444.... which is never going to give you
whole degrees - since 3 counts =1.0547 degrees.

How FAST does the encoder turn in your application?
I see it is rated to 12,000 RPM. thats 200 RPS


Why on earth are you using a BRUTALLY expensive voltage
output encoder and how well do you understand the way
rotation speed, PIC Clock frequency and only 10 (slow) bits +/- - 2 bits
is going to make it hard to know anything about the encoder position with high accuracy unless it only moves at a dead CRAWL.....

Why not use a pulse output encoder and a PIC with fast DE-encoder hardware built in ?

Start again.

Use the 4-20mA output. This is better for noise immunity anyway, and allows you to choose the voltage being generated.

Then connect this to a 110R resistor, so you get 2.2v for 20mA.

Use a 2.5v bandgap reference on Vref. Need this for stability.

Then read the ADC. Subtract 180, and divide by 2. Result is in degrees.

How does this work?.

The range from 0 to 360, gives 4 to 20mA. 16mA span.
16mA * 110R = 1.76v

The ADC running off 2.5v gives 2.5/1024v V/step. = 0.00244v

1.76/0.00244 = 720. 720/2 = 360.

The 4mA gives 0.44v. 0.44/0.00244 = 180.

So subtract 180, then divide by 2, and you have degrees.

This is a classic example of designing the hardware to simplify the maths.

hi

thanks for this help...

My head is full of rust on programming

I understand all

best regards
