A/D Converter on PIC16F886
PostPosted: Tue Feb 03, 2009 2:59 pm     Reply with quote

I am having a problem reading the internal AtoD converter on a PIC16F886. It appears when I look at the value in ADCON0 that the wrong input is being selected when I do a "set_adc_channel( x );"

I have looked at the 16F886.h file and it appears that I am using the correct constants to setup the ports and clock:
setup_adc_ports( sAN2 |sAN3 | sAN4 | VSS_VDD );
setup_adc( ADC_CLOCK_INTERNAL );

When I have selected look at ADCON0 it is set to a value of 0x11101001 (0xE9) which based on the PIC16F88x data sheet would indicate that I have selected AN10 not AN2 as I would expect.

Has anyone elese experienced this problem?

I am using PCM 4.085

Here is my source code:
Code:
// ADC TEST
// Test code for PIC16F886 A to D Converter
// Compiler CCS PCM version 4.085

#include <16F886.H>

#device ICD = TRUE
#device *=16 ADC=10

#fuses HS, NOWDT, NOPROTECT, BROWNOUT, PUT, NOLVP
#use delay(clock=20000000)

#zero_ram


//===============================
void main()
{
long AD_Ch_2 = 0;
long AD_Ch_3 = 0;
long AD_Ch_4 = 0;

// Setup PortA I/O
   Set_Tris_A(0b011110); //sets up port A as an input port

//init A/D converter
   setup_adc_ports( sAN2 |sAN3 | sAN4 | VSS_VDD );
   setup_adc( ADC_CLOCK_INTERNAL );

   while(1)
   {
   
      set_adc_channel( PIN_A2 );      // ADC2 (RA2)
      delay_us(10);               // Delay to allow stabilization
      AD_Ch_2 = read_adc();         // Get the  AtoD value
      
      set_adc_channel( PIN_A3 );      // ADC3 (RA3)
      delay_us(10);               // Delay to allow stabilization
      AD_Ch_2 = read_adc();         // Get the AtoD value
      
      set_adc_channel( PIN_A4 );      // ADC4 (RA4)
      delay_us(10);               // Delay to allow stabilization
      AD_Ch_2 = read_adc();         // Get the AtoD value
      
   
      delay_ms(500);
   
  }
}

set_adc_channel( PIN_A4 );


From the manual:
http://www.ccsinfo.com/downloads/ccs_c_manual.pdf
Quote:
Syntax: set_adc_channel (chan)
Parameters: 'chan' is the channel number to select.
Channel numbers start at 0 and are labeled in the data sheet AN0, AN1

ie., do not use Pin constants for channels. Use 0, 1, 2, 3, etc. for the
channel.

OK - Read the Manual not just look at it!

Works fine, Thanks again PCM

Another case of staring at the manual too long!

Here is my revised code for the record:
Code:

// ADC TEST
// Test code for PIC16F886 A to D Converter
// Compiler CCS PCM version 4.085

#include <16F886.H>

#device ICD = TRUE
#device *=16 ADC=10

#fuses HS, NOWDT, NOPROTECT, BROWNOUT, PUT, NOLVP
#use delay(clock=20000000)

#zero_ram


//===============================
void main()
{
long AD_Ch_2 = 0;
long AD_Ch_3 = 0;
long AD_Ch_4 = 0;

// Setup PortA I/O
   Set_Tris_A(0b011110); //sets up port A as an input port

//init A/D converter
   setup_adc_ports( sAN2 |sAN3 | sAN4 | VSS_VDD );
   setup_adc( ADC_CLOCK_INTERNAL );

   while(1)
   {

   
      set_adc_channel( 2 );      // ADC2 (RA2)
      delay_us(20);               // Delay to allow stabilization
      AD_Ch_2 = read_adc();         // Get the  AtoD value
      
      set_adc_channel( 3 );      // ADC3 (RA3)
      delay_us(20);               // Delay to allow stabilization
      AD_Ch_3 = read_adc();         // Get the AtoD value
      
      set_adc_channel( 4 );      // ADC4 (RA4)
      delay_us(20);               // Delay to allow stabilization
      AD_Ch_4 = read_adc();         // Get the AtoD value

   
      delay_ms(500);
   
  }
}
