16F88 ADC Problems

ADCIN must use the ADC channel number, not it's pin name

ADCIN 5, Accel ' Read channel 5 to Accel
ADCIN 6, Gain ' Read channel 6 to Gain

Thanks Steve, but how does the ADC know which port to read in? For example, we could read in PortA.1 or PortB.1

cheers

Mark.

It's all about it's associated Channel number.

PortB.0.= AN0 = Channel 0 = ADCIN 0, bVar
PortB.7 = AN6 = Channel 6 = ADCIN 6, bVar

PBP manual:

ADCIN

ADCIN Channel,Var

Read the on-chip analog to digital converter Channel and store the result in Var. While the ADC registers can be accessed directly, ADCIN makes the process a little easier

Manual Really said Channel... not pin name.

Further details, open the datasheet, and see how you manually implement it... you also select/assign a channel number to the PIC register, not a pin name.
