10 Bit A-D Numbers

[Peter1960]

Hi, I am using an A-D Conversion with A-D set at 10 bits.
I seem to be getting numbers from 0 - ~64000.
I thought it should be 0 - 1024 ?
What could I being doing amiss ?
I am using the converted number variable as a word, could this be why?
thnks

unless you give your code, we can't and we don't want to bet on what are the possible cause of it.

Hi, Steve

That smells hard a Forgotten Right Justification config ....

shhhhut! Shure it could be that or just forgotten bit shifting, depending the method used ;)

...mmm sounds the same... i really need to go to sleep. Bonne nuit a la France ;)

Hi,

Just,

I need to write code when I am awake.

I have left justified, thus adressh is bits 3 -10 (0 - 7) and address l is bits 1 -2 (6 -7), thus

values is from 00000000(h) 00000000(l), 00 00 hex , 0000 decimal
to 11111111(h) 11000000(l), FF C0 hex , 65472 decimal

Where if I had right justified, thus adressh is bits 9 - 10 (0 - 1) and address l is bits 1 - 8 (0 - 7), thus

values is from 00000000(h) 00000000(l), 00 00 hex , 0000 decimal
to 00000011(h) 11111111(l), 03 FF hex , 1023 decimal

thks
