Pretty New and need help please
Hi Everyone,
I'm using a PIC16F877 chip in this project.
I'm still pretty new at PIC programming and there's alot I don't know or understand!
About 34 or 35 lines below, you will see *** ;ADCON1=%00000011 and ;ADCON1=%00000010 ***
The reason these lines are marked as notes (is because I can not get the results I expected!
I'm trying to use A2D Channels 0 and 1. Channel 0's input ranges from 0 to + 5 VDC.
Channel 1's input ranges from 0 to + 1 VDC.
I'm trying to use a very small input from a current shunt (in Millivolts)
100 Millivolts Max, and display this current on the LCD. With the Vref set
at + 1 VDC, I think I should be able to see current changes of 4 Amps.
Is there a minumum Vref voltage? I've looked over the Datasheet but
have not found anything about Vref minimums. Ideally, I would set
Vref at .255 VDC.
**** Is what I'm trying to do even possible?****
****Any help will really be appreciated!****
