Need help with LM34 and 12F675

[mackrackit]

To start with, your PIC does not have a ADCON1
It works more like this.

Still not sure I understand. My brain hurts at this point.
Ok Should be ADCON0=%00000101?
I may need to sleep on this and try again tomorrow.
The data sheet has me confused.

Maybe this will get you going with the ADC on this chip. Seems like MicroChip likes to keep folks guessing by changing some things around for different chips.

This will display the 8 bit ADC reading on a terminal.

Thanks I'll try it tomorrow. I just needed to get away from it for awhile.
I started over from scratch this morning and finally got it working. Only thing is that it reads exactly half the temperature (input voltage from the LM34). I multiplied it by 2 in the software to fix the problem but I don't know why it does that. Is there a calibration for the A/D?
Anyway here is my final working code for anyone interested. It could probably be optimized but it ain't broke so I ain't gonna fix it.

I built this to control a solar heater (see it on my web site). It basically reads the voltage from the LM34 on GPIO.0 10mv per deg F and
turns on a fan relay on GPIO.1 when the temperature goes above the preset temp (110F) and outputs a PWM signal on GPIO.2 to open a damper door.
Below the preset low temperature (90F) it turns off the fan and again sends out a PWM signal to close the damper. I still need to tweak pulse widths for the servo. I just set them up to make sure the PWM works.
It also sends out the current temperature and preset info on GPIO.4 to a PC terminal if needed using the debug command.
Hope someone else can use the info and thanks to Bruce for making the basics available.

That is the way the LM34 is when running on 5 volts. Figure the steps in 8 bit and all that.

If you want a 1 degree resolution set up the VREF and have the reference voltage at 3.3 volts.

Then in place of multiplying by 2
you would use
ADC_VAR * 4 / 3

At least that works for me

Glad you got it going.

Thanks for the tip. I'll have to try to find a 3.3v reference tomorrow. I have some 1.25's but that's a little shy.
The LM34 is doing what it's supposed to. It is putting out .700v at 70 degrees but the pic reads it as .350v.
Thanks..
