Temperature with the LM34C

[StoneColdFuzzy]

No change when USART disabled.

I'm pretty sure that it's a connection. I tried the code straight up except for debug mode at 1 and received 7 lines of temperature in Hyper Terminal, then it stopped.

Going back to double check everything.

Darrel most likely hit the nail on the head. Sounds like some odd hardware problem, or a
bad connection.

Troubleshoot things one-at-a-time, and just setup a simple loop shooting serial data to
your PC serial port until you get the serial com thing working.

If it goes-like-splat, then you know there's a bad connection - or maybe even a problem
with your PC serial port.

Note: It might even be a problem with the PIC itself if the A/D is foo-bar. The ADCIN library
function is a blocking type with;

adcinloop
btfsc ADCON0, GO_DONE ; Wait for conversion to complete
goto adcinloop

If ADCON0, GO_DONE never gets cleared, it's a sit & spin function call...;o}

I have no idea how to begin setting up a loop like this.

I have no idea what the above means either.

Just make a short loop sending out some text strings over and over, while you wiggle wires and such.

Cause he misspeller foo bar, wich is an ackronym which I misspelled, FUBAR is the proper spelling you guess what the first 2 letters spell, the BAR means Beyond All Repair. It's like it's cousin SNAFU, Situation Normal All . . . .

X VAR BYTE

Main:
 FOR X = "A" TO "Z"
  DEBUG X,10,13
  PAUSE 500
 NEXT X
 GOTO Main
 END

Joe, Bruce,

Thanks!

Still nothing. I'm going to make up some new cables with fresh contacts and I might even try a different computer.

For the loop program; should I use config bits?

[Bruce]

Use the same config settings you used before.
