I am doing my final year project on designing constant current pic controlled boost converter, boost converter which as the load resistance changed the output current still remained constant.
  • Also Up to now i have a boost converter circuit and i managed to use pwm module to produce varying duty cycle, i managed to use this varying duty cycle to produce varying output voltage.
My problems until now
  • Earlier i adviced to use adc to read feedback signal i managed to do that but i failed to continue
  • I don't know how to do so that to have a constant current at the load, i lack a technique here on how to link this code so that to accomplish my task
i attached my circuit and code so that you can help me
