hi everyone from a new user :)

dear friend ,this is my first visit to this forum. i would like to ask a question to be answered . ı was trying to read a pot at RA0(analog input) and display the result on a LCD. ı made tehe adc set to 10 bit. however the max value that ı read is 255. so how could i read 10 bit adc result and display on to LCD?

thank you ...

ı thougt about my problem again. and now ı am trying to find that what is the problem exactly.
if ı made the pic16f877 adc setc correctly perhaps LCD could not show 10bit data without a special set. i looked the help file and the examples all shows that 8bit data.

ı am really confused about it.
any help?

use the preprocessor directive
#device adc=10

and store the value in a 16 bit variable (long or int16) also use the corresponding printf format parameter for the LCD, ...or whatever is your output routine.

libor ,
ı tried your advice but in that case compiler gives an error like that
" can not change device type this far into the code"

note:my ccs compilerversion is 3.249

" can not change device type this far into the code"

Then try to change device type not that far in the code :-) Move it to the beginning of the code.
But the problem is, the header file xxxx.h also has a #device line. So I usually place the #device after the #include.
Or you can also edit the one in the header file to include the ADC=10 setiing.

added the "device adc=10 " line after include line in the 16f877a header file. the lcd still shows 8 bit value (max 255). here is code that i use maybe it is helpful for you to give an advice:

for(;;)
{

int16 olc,setd;

long int hata;
long int sur;
int kp;
int ki;
long sur_P;
long sur_I;
long al;
long hata_es;
int i;


lcd_init() ;

printf(lcd_putc, "set = %Lu",setd);


set_adc_channel(0);// set

setd=read_adc();
delay_us(25);

See the demo program in this post:

Ignore the comments about vs. 3.163. You should be able to use
the program without any changes, with vs. 3.249.

pcm programmer ,
i made that changes and code worked as ı wish.
