Hello


The PBP manual says this about ADCIN

Before ADCIN can be used, the appropriate TRIS register must be set to
make the desired pins inputs. The ADCON, ANCON and/or ANSEL
registers must also be set to assign the desired pins to analog inputs

I want a value between 0-255 depending on the voltage (0-5V) on RA2 and was trying to set the registers without success and then I just tested the code below with Darrel Taylors ALLDIGITAL included and no additional register configurations and it works?

But I wonder why it works without setting the registers, and should I set them even if the code works and why?

Maybe a dumb question but I want to know :confused:
The PIC is an 16F886.

I never bother with setting up registers for analog inputs. The ADCIN command does it for you.
