I am not able to get the ADC on a 12F683 to work. The values it reports fluctuate seemingly randomly.
I have two 4.7K resistors attached in series between +5V and GND. A wire from Pin 4 (bit 3) is attached between them so I should be seeing a constant 2.5V. But instead, the ADC gives me numbers fluctuating from 0 to 255.
I am using the program (ADCINX4) that I got off the meLABS site, but it does not seem to work. The only change I made to the program below is to make my LCD display work.
I had tried a number of things on my own, but none of them worked, so I am turning to this collection of experts for help.
I had been using the POT command in the past and it worked fine, I was told that ADC was a better way to go.
Thanks!
