ADC PIC18F2431 or PIC18F4431

I have been trying to figure out how to use the
ADCIN command with the PIC18F2431 or PIC18F4431.

My problem is using more than one channel. I can get AN0
to work or AN1. But not togeather. It may be that the results are stored
in the fifo, which ADCIN does not address?

If anybody knows how to use the ADC in these chips. With or without adcin and
can share that would be great.

I just want to read some pots on AN0 and AN1, nothing fast.

Thanks
Mark

Hi, Mark

I do not think PBP can directly do what you are expecting ...

you should have a closer read of the ADC chapter of your datasheet and , after , drive the relevant registers ...
that are somewhat more numerous than those driven by a classical Adcin PBP command.

You'll also note there are fixed input groups, and Channel 0 + Channel 1 is not a valid group ...

PBP doesn't do everything for you, in short terms ... ;)

Hi Alain,

Thanks for your reply. Yes I concluded last night that adcin would not work, but was
hoping otherwise!
Most likely will need a routine to set the group, channel, GO/DONE and store results on each read.

Here's one example of A/D with this series. http://www.picbasic.co.uk/forum/showthread.php?t=6768

Thanks Bruce!

Perfect

I searched the forum for pic18f4431, not pic18f4331:o

Today I trapped into the same hole...

ADCIN doesn't work on a PIC18Fxx31.

I have just written some code to read AN0..AN7 on devices who have this inputs.

Init-Part:

Code:

;ADC ADON=true:ADCON2=%11101101 ;FOSC/16 AN0-AN4=analog right-justified, 40xTAD Sample ANSEL0=%00011111

Inside Main-Code:

Code:

;ADC-Zyklus ;messen, umrechnen und gewichtet mitteln ;CtADC contains the ADC-channel ADCHS=0:If CtADC.2 Then ADCHS=%01010101 ;Channel-Select ADCON0.3=CtADC.1:ADCON0.2=CtADC.0 GO=true:Repeat:Until !GO ;ADC starten DummyW.Highbyte=ADRESH:DummyW.Lowbyte=ADRESL
