Problems with analog converter in simulationboard in schoolproject of 6th grade
Hello, I’m Nick. Before I say my problems I will first explain the meaning of the project. Or you can just skip and go to Problems.
My mother language is Dutch so it’s possible that I write some faults.
Meanings of project:
We must build a bio-diesel mixing installation for our last year project and we are simulating the signals and rotating pumps with LED's so people can get a better view of the project and how the system works. The installation haves 3 output hoses for the mixed fuel and the ratio can be set with a BCD switch that is connected with the PLC that controls the pumps. A flow meter gives feedback to the PLC so he can control the pumps.
In the simulation:
The pump signal (0 to 10Volts) will go to the simulation board that returns a signal (of the flow control, 4-20mA) to the PLC, this signal will be lower than the input signal to simulate the resistance in the hoses depending on the selected hose. (When the Fault1 button is pressed down this will simulate an obstruction in the hose so the output signal will drop whit 90% of the input signal.)
Problems:
I'm having problems with programming the PIC. The biggest problem is using the AD-converter, the resolution of the converted has been set to an 8-bit resolution but I'm still getting a 2-bit resolution. How can I solve this problem?
