| DAC control |

Hello
With 8 Bit input, I want to send 8 bit information to 3 different DAC outputs according to Position information. But I'm having trouble testing 1 more. Where is the mistake?
So in the first place I simply want to send 8 bits to the DAC output. | Code: |
#include <16F1779.h>
#use delay(internal = 32MHZ)
void main(void)
{
setup_dac( DAC_VSS_VDD | DAC_OUTPUT1 | DAC_LEFT_JUSTIFIED);
while(TRUE)
{
for(int8 i=0; i<255; i++)
{
DAC_WRITE(i);
delay_ms(250);
}
}
} |

quick check of datasheet says PPS...
hmm, that PIC has PPS so you probably need to configure PPS before you setup the DAC ?? |

| What is connected to the DAC output? It has a very high impedance. |

DAC output is idle. I'm checking with DDM.

Analog functions don't support PPS. The output will be pin RA2. However
as GaugeGuy says it will be quite a high impedance source. It'll only
swing 1/4 the supply (10bit DAC), unless you specify to left justify.
Really to use this output for anything that offers any load, you need to
send the DAC output to the non inverted input of an op-amp (internal
or external), and use the output of this.
The main mistake is much simpler though.
Look at this line:
for(int8 i=0; i<255; i)
i is never incremented. Result output will always be 0..... |

| What are you getting at the output? That is a 10 bit DAC so sending 0-255 should give you up to 1/4 of VDD max as long as the output is not loaded. |

I noticed it while typing. I have the value "++i" in my code. But the result is still 0.

You have got Avss/Vdd connected. The DAC requires the analog supply pins
connected or it will not be driven.
What compiler version are you using?. I've just checked on the current
compiler and the code works correctly, with i++. |

5.115
how? Does the code I added now give you an output?
Pins 11-12 AND 31-32 are already connected. Since it is a development board, the supply line is already connected. I want to read voltage from DAC output pins.

1. You have setup the DAC to use left justified data, but you are not giving it
left justified data. You are giving it right-justified data. Change it to this:
| Code: |
setup_dac( DAC_VSS_VDD | DAC_OUTPUT1);
|
2. Wiith a 250 ms loop delay, it will take 255 x .25 second = 63.75 seconds
to ramp up. That's too long. Change it to 25 ms. Then it will ramp up in
about 6 seconds.
3. You are using DAC1, which is a 10-bit DAC. Since your highest data
value is 254, your voltage ramp on the output pin will be from 0v to 1.24v. |

I want to see 5V when it is 255.

| Then you need an int16 counting up to 1023. |

You could let us know if it's now working, or not. |

It'll do that, if you use the left justification, and put the value into an
int16. The left justification justifies the _10 bit_ value left in the output
register. The value still needs to be 10bit though, However it won't quite
give 5v, The value generated will be 1020, so the output will be 4.98v. |

I have a PIC18F57Q43. I tried. It is working. But When I do with PIC16F1779 not working. I made variable type int16. The value count to 1023. The result same.
