Re: SOLVED: How can I reduce ADC drift
if your scope probes are ac coupled to measure rail noise [ as they should be ] then the DC offsets visible on the scope are not coming from your circuit the scope provides them , the drift you see is random, for stability each and every scope probe gnd reference lead needs to be connected to the same point
ps warning , do not try to measure rails that don't share a common gnd reference , or exceed the scopes safe working voltage

Re: SOLVED: How can I reduce ADC drift
raw adc readings of x + or - 1 count is as good as it ever gets
+-2 is very good +-3 is typical result for a designed system
what are your expectations ?

Re: SOLVED: How can I reduce ADC drift
Added DEFINE and doubled the ADCIN, no change really.
But I did notice a vulnerability in my system. Watch this when I gently touch power leads to the rails.

Re: SOLVED: How can I reduce ADC drift
the problem you see does not exist , its the scopes reaction to having an large antenna [YOUR HAND] capacitively coupled to all of its inputs providing an overwhelming signal on it most sensitive ac input range, the scope is unable to provide the dc bias needed to keep the traces aligned in the overwhelmed state

Re: SOLVED: How can I reduce ADC drift
Excellent, so this won't be an issue since the drop-down circuit will be linked directly the the main board by headers.Originally Posted by richard

Re: SOLVED: How can I reduce ADC drift
making any measurements on a dc signal other than the ac noise level using a scope that is ac coupled to the dc signal is meaningless

Re: SOLVED: How can I reduce ADC drift
Ok.
All rails come from the same source; 5VDC.
And they all share the ground to that circuit.

Re: SOLVED: How can I reduce ADC drift
Coupling changed to AC.
1. Honestly I expected no jitter on the voltage-divider, thinking FVR would remove 1/2 the instability, leaving only VS as a variable source for comparison.
2. As for the pots, I had no idea what "realistic" is, they don't mention that in google tutorials.
3. I'm sure I could get something useful out of 10-bit results. Just not sure how to go about massaging the result.
4. I also would have liked to try the ADC2 feature like AVERAGE. I assume it'a a hardware equivalent of what Melanie was doing.

Re: SOLVED: How can I reduce ADC drift
I shifted the results 2 bits, expecting to lose any jitter from 0 - 3, but I still get jitter.Code:ADCshift = NewADC0 >> 2
I bet it's when a number jumps an upper bit, like 00100011 to 01000100.
I'm using 10-bit ADC, so chopping 2 bits already bring me down to 256 increments.
Bringing it down more won't solve when it's a higher jump, like 00111111 to 01000000
EDIT: Divide by 4 doesn't help either, I still get jitter, even on the voltage-divider.

Re: SOLVED: How can I reduce ADC drift
to measure ac noise on rail , noise hopefully in mV and not to many of themCoupling changed to AC.
for any dc , logic measurementsCoupling changed to DC.
raw adc will never have no jitter1. Honestly I expected no jitter on the voltage-divider, thinking FVR would remove 1/2 the instability, leaving only VS as a variable source for comparison.
the word you want here is resolution, if you had a 1k pot and 10 bit adc you could resolve it to 1 ohm steps in theory2. As for the pots, I had no idea what "realistic" is, they don't mention that in google tutorials.
but adc is always has +- count , jitter free might get to 255 steps, you need to design for the outcome desired
depending on noise and needed resolution there are ways , from simple division, averaging or oversampling3. I'm sure I could get something useful out of 10-bit results. Just not sure how to go about massaging the result.
its not designed to average more than one ch and need exclusive use of the adc but have a go4. I also would have liked to try the ADC2 feature like AVERAGE. I assume it'a a hardware equivalent of what Melanie was doing.

Re: SOLVED: How can I reduce ADC drift
We can't switch ADPCH manually between each Average?23.0 ANALOG-TO-DIGITAL CONVERTER WITH COMPUTATION (ADC2) MODULE
The Analog-to-Digital Converter with Computation (ADC2) allows conversion of an analog input signal to a 10-bit binary representation of that signal. This device uses analog inputs, which are multiplexed into a single sample and hold circuit.
About that bug to ADCIN twice:
I'm trying to switch ADPCH to 111100 = AVSS (Analog Ground) before each ADCIN to see if that fixes the problem.23.1 ADC Configuration
Note: It is recommended that when switching from an ADC channel of a higher voltage to a channel of a lower voltage, the software selects the VSS channel before switching to the channel of the lower voltage.
They seem to mean when you change power rail, but maybe there's a bug when "the higher voltage" is within the same rail (like changing from 1V up to 4V).
I haven't studied your code yet, this is where I am at trying to get FVR and Average:

Re: SOLVED: How can I reduce ADC drift
My readings never jitter at 0000 or 1023, always rock solid.
It's when I start taking readings within the range that things go nuts.

Re: SOLVED: How can I reduce ADC drift
not reallyWe can't switch ADPCH manually between each Average?
it needs to take the number of readings to average in an uninterrupted exclusive sequence
once the average is obtained you can set a new channel and set the device to perform a new average
or cease averaging. a sequence cannot be interrupted for an additional extra adc read
or makes it worse if acquisition time is inadequate or marginal , the dummy read is most successfulI'm trying to switch ADPCH to 111100 = AVSS (Analog Ground) before each ADCIN to see if that fixes the problem.
not sure about this chip but when does channel change occur, a delay is probably required
i don't see any form of averaging here
Code:ADPCH = AVSS : adcin 0, ADCinput NewADC0 = 1023 - ADCinput ' inverted so pot goes from 0 to 1024 if NewADC0 <> oldadc0 then oldadc0 = NewADC0 ADCshift = NewADC0 / 4 LCDOUT $FE, $94+6, DEC4 oldadc0, " ", dec4 ADCshift : Pauseus 1 endif

Re: SOLVED: How can I reduce ADC drift
there are heaps of other ways too
mean var word
ADCinput var word
average
Code:mean = 0 for i = 0 to 9 ADCIN 0, ADCinput mean = mean + ADCinput next mean = mean/10 DEBUG "mean ",DEC mean,",",DEC mean>>2,13,10
running average
Code:ADCIN 0, ADCinput mean = mean */ 200 + ADCinput */ 55 DEBUG "mean ",DEC mean,",",DEC mean>>2,13,10

Re: SOLVED: How can I reduce ADC drift
All your setup is on a Breadboard?
I can suspect that even low current PWM loads on a breadboard may cause such issues. The stray capacitance of these things is too mauch to have a reliable operation.
My test of ADC on a Picdem boards show rock-solid readings. But is of good design with a lot of grounds that you are missing on breadboards.

Re: SOLVED: How can I reduce ADC drift
There isn't. I thought it all happened in the background when you did ADCIN, the average was calculated, and results stored in output fields, like a normal ADCIN.
I guess you're telling me this is an on-going process, and ADCIN just gives you the average "at that point in time", but it keeps on going.
I thought setting this OFF meant we could disable continuous sampling:
16F18855
23.5.8 CONTINUOUS SAMPLING MODE
Setting the ADCONT bit in the ADCON0 register automatically retriggers a new conversion cycle after updating the ADACC register.
My Creality Ender 3 S1 Plus is a giant paperweight that can't even be used as a boat anchor, cause I'd be fined for polluting our waterways with electronic devices.

Re: SOLVED: How can I reduce ADC drift
the computational adc is more complex than that, microchip have a number of YT clips on it usagesI guess you're telling me this is an on-going process, and ADCIN just gives you the average "at that point in time", but it keeps on going.
eg
i have never had any reason to use it to date

Re: SOLVED: How can I reduce ADC drift
Ok, thanks.
I've reverted to legacy mode, still using FVR, removed all LCD components, added USART:

With those differences, I suppose I should add a mean average and call it a day.

Re: SOLVED: How can I reduce ADC drift
Would dual TPS56637 step-down circuits help me reduce noise by PWM, LCD and other "noisy stuff"?
Would diodes help in further isolating the 2 circuits? (like blocking surges) I looking for the minimum voltage for the TPS56637 circuit now, to make sure the voltage drop from 2 diodes wouldn't interfere with 9V input.
I'd use dedicated PICs per function; 1 for input on top circuit, 1 for output on bottom circuit.

Re: SOLVED: How can I reduce ADC drift
I found this, that says it wouldn't hurt to put Schottkys on VDD.
Circuit with dual power source: Replacing diodes with MOSFETsYou don't need the diodes for ground, only using diodes for Vcc is sufficent....
You could use schottky diodes as the voltage drop is 0.2V, that would be easiest.
https://electronics.stackexchange.co...s-with-mosfets
I suppose adding a bunch of filter caps downstream of the diodes would help reduce "fluctuations" before it enters the TPS56637.

Re: SOLVED: How can I reduce ADC drift
stick a 2200uF low esr electrolytic in every power rail on each bread-board and be done with it. if it still noisy add another set.
if that fails isolate noisy bits behind rfc's [rf chokes]. ditch the hi switching speed [noise inducing] mosfets for pwm, use bjt instead, its only a backlight
as ioannis says, breadboards and low noise are very close to mutually exclusive concepts

Re: SOLVED: How can I reduce ADC drift
i tried the burst mode averaging method. very nice if you don't need the adc for anything else, it would be ideal for monitoring a lifepo4 battery during all phases of discharge/charging/float. no great advantage for multiple inputs that i can see

Re: SOLVED: How can I reduce ADC drift
I only have a few 1000uF electrolytics, so I put 2 on each rail, same ADC flutter of mostly 1, sometimes 2.
I only have these 2 on hand:
RL-1284 100uH, https://www.electronicsurplus.com/re...uh-irms-0-4amp
79F101K-TR-RC 100uH, https://www.mouser.com/datasheet/2/5...te-1371239.pdf
I was having difficulties turning the backlight all the way off using 2N2907A PNP. The BS250P P-chan worked like a charm from full OFF to full ON.
Yeah, that's why I moved away from my larger main prototype board to only 2 PCB boards to get ADC working perfectly.

Re: SOLVED: How can I reduce ADC drift
I'm going to see about using something like your MEAN average example. I had something like that a while ago (inspired by Melanie), but I had noisy power supplies. The TPS56637 works nicely, so I was hoping ADC2 could make my life easier.

Re: SOLVED: How can I reduce ADC drift
+- 2 counts is as good as it will ever get for raw adc reads on a breadboard, if you right shift 2 bits that's a 256 count resolution that should be very stableI only have a few 1000uF electrolytics, so I put 2 on each rail, same ADC flutter of mostly 1, sometimes 2.
the scope is your friend here , measure the AC noise. every 5mV of noise on the rail and/or the pot wiper is +- 1 more count

Re: SOLVED: How can I reduce ADC drift
note some of the variations you are calling flutter are actually "Quantization noise" and can never be eliminated from the adc process,
the best adc result is always +-1 count. at the expense of some resolution[level bandwidth etc] you can filter it out "mostly" people with "hifi" ears reckon they can hear it on the best of cd recoding's , yet scratched vinyl records are pure, go figure. as a true cloth eared pariah i call wtf

Re: SOLVED: How can I reduce ADC drift
On a PCB of a irrelevant project I tested the simple ADCin and display the result on the LCD.
As Richard says the +/-1 LSB is what I get with no process. Occasionaly 2 LSBs.
I just sample every sec. and display it.
Of course the PCB is double sided with lot of ground, a cap on the ADC input pin and linear 5Volt regulator. So any external noise is minimized.
Breadboards are just a noise antennas and never give clean results.

Re: SOLVED: How can I reduce ADC drift
Ultimately, the system has to be able to read ADC while managing to 2-3 LED strips and 4 LCDs with PWM.
I'm trying a double PSU approach to see if the input PIC (right) can keep line noise to a minimum, and have all output functions on the output PIC (left).
Input functions will consume very little current, it's the output functions that will consume a lot more, and have multiple PWMs.
The only unknown is the rotary encoders; no idea if their rapid ON-OFF will create noise. I can always move them over to the output PIC.
At worse, I'd end up with a "clean" PIC, and a "noisy" PIC instead of input/output.

Checklist:
- PIC 16F18855,
- used legacy ADC (no ADC2),
- did not touch VREFs,
- used FVR 4x with 5 VDC in,
- used FOSC / 128,
- used average of 16 ADC readings,
- removed all LCD logic (used for debugging),
- used USART to show results
- added PAUSEUS 1 after all ADC operations - THIS NEEDS TO BE VERIFIED IF IT'S NECESSARY, it was just to make sure things worked.
ADC readings on the voltage-divider and 2 rotary pots did not "drift/vary/whatever" more than 2.
I still have to:
- try with slide pots, just to see if that fixed their "irregularities" that I experienced in the past.
- reconnect the 2nd breadboard that displays to LCD with backlight PWM, and PWMs 2 LED strips.
EDIT: This was working perfectly with the voltage divider (ADC0) and pot 2 (ADC2), now that I've put back in pot 1 (ADC1), the 2 pots don't reach 0 and stop at 2.
ARGH...

Re: SOLVED: How can I reduce ADC drift
- did not touch VREFs,
What do you mean by this , you have changes pos vref to fvr buffer1- used FVR 4x with 5 VDC in,
which will turn out to be a mistake since pots use vdd as top input , by doing this you have lost 20% of their travel range
Anything over VREF+ will be interpreted as the max ADC output. Anything lower than VREF- will be interpreted as the min ADC output value.
There will be no damage if you exceed VREF+/VREF- as long as you don't exceed Vdd/Vss
- used FOSC / 128,way too slow , while not out of acceptable range fosc/32 is more reasonable
- used average of 16 ADC readings,not sure about that , its not necessary either if every thing else is ok
- used USART to show results

Re: SOLVED: How can I reduce ADC drift
Lets clarify something Robert please.
Do you expect to have an ADC reading that will be absolutely stable on every pot position? Say that a user can set 1023 positions on the pot. Do you expect to have solid 1023 readings?
This cannot be done no matter what. On an absolutely perfect circuit you will get +/- 1 digit because of the way ADC works along with every kind of noise present (wire induced, ground loops, resistors noise, shot noise, Johnson noise and so many other kinds).
The ADC steps are 5/1023= 4.8876mV. This means that if ADC input is over that step, you get a count of 1. But if one of the above noise or more than one is present, you may get 0 or even 2 as a result, if the noise adds another 4.88mv.
Hope this is clear and helps you not chasing the impossible.
Any kind of averaging helps but because of the above, it does not eliminate the small jitter that you should accept.
Averaging with Moving average routine limits the maximum number of counts. The one Richard posted on #57 goes up to 1004 after about 30 samples. Darrels Taylor Oversampling routine does also suffer of this kind of problem. Well gives from 8bit ADC a 16bit result but you have to pay in time...
Best keep a simple average of 10 samples and get done with it.

Re: SOLVED: How can I reduce ADC drift
No, I was expecting a reading ranging between 0 and 1023, with 256 near 1/4 rotation (from available travel or course), 512 midway and 768 about 3/4 through.

Re: SOLVED: How can I reduce ADC drift
Yes, you can expect that, depending on the pot of course.
But the readings will have a play around the specific point, because of what I explained.

Re: SOLVED: How can I reduce ADC drift
agreed , at the 1/4 turn posn the raw reading expected WHEN vref == vdd and vdd is a well filtered stable supply would be 256 + or - 1 count. if you want better than that use either a 12 bit adc or averaging or oversampling. none of which come without a cost.But the readings will have a play around the specific point
This all becomes a ridiculous overkill if the "pot" for instance represents say the 'CHOKE' position when it is displayed as 0-100 in 5% steps.
i have asked several times now what are your expectations ?

Re: SOLVED: How can I reduce ADC drift

Averages was why sometimes it would not reach 0 or 1023.
It works, but it has jumps of 3 now. Gonna see if more caps can reduce that.
No clue why ADC is running so hot, specs say 85c is normal operating temp.
The mounting holes are "slightly" warm, never noticed that before.

Re: SOLVED: How can I reduce ADC drift
I just checked the mounting holes on my test LCD, the holes do the same thing and the LCD hasn't been connected in days.
Copper/bare metal is at a different temp than the rest so the scanner detects it.
