    ADC works .
    I connected the Vcc of pic to the portA.0 and it shows 1023 .
    After that ; i tried
    Code:
    ; Initialize your hardware and LCD first.
    
    DEFINE ADC_BITS 8 ' Number of bits in ADCIN result
    ADCON1.7 = 1 ' Right Justify AD result
    
    INCLUDE "LCDbar_INC.bas" ' Include the BARgraph routines
    
    Value VAR WORD ' Must be a WORD even though AD is 8bit
    
    LCDOUT $FE, 1 ' Clear Screen
    
    Loop1:
    ADCIN 0, Value
    LCDOUT $FE,2,"Value = ",DEC Value," "
    ; syntax- BARgraph Value, Row, Col, Width, Range, Style
    @ BARgraph _Value, 2, 0, 16, 255, lines
    GOTO Loop1
    The bars are ok , don't flickr
    but the word "value" always flickering , why ?
    And whene there is no input to the portA.0 , the value becomes 276 and there are still full bars ? (I know there are too many questions , but i want to learn )

    It seems , the problem is my circuit output
    By the way , as i said before , whene there is 5V , i don't want any bars , there must be full bars at 3.9V
    How can i change this code to run like for my project or there must be a different code ?
    Code:
    Loop1:
        ADCIN  0, ham
        LCDOUT $FE,2,"Value = ",DEC ham,"   "
        ; syntax- BARgraph   Value, Row, Col, Width, Range, Style
        @         BARgraph  _ham,   2,   0,    16,   255,  lines
        
    Goto Loop1
    Thank you very much again.

    Probably because something is overwriting it or clearing the screen, then you re-print the VALUE on the LCD...

    as i said before , whene there is 5V , i don't want any bars , there must be full bars at 3.9V
    Simple math
    Minimum = 5V (1023 ADC counts)
    Maximum = 3.9V (798 ADC counts)
    Spread = 1.1V (225 counts)
    raw = 1024 - raw 'flips the value upside-down
    raw = raw / 14 '14 counts per box, assuming 16 boxes
    Surely you can do something with that...

    Okey my friend , thank you for your patience and for your helps
    Today is enough for me ;
    i'm working about this project from 9 o'clock to now.
    I think , it's time to make my brain free.
    And one last question ; i don't know that you are interested in integrated circuits; if you are ; i want to ask something.
    I have 2 op-amps LM358 and i learned that , the maximum supply current for LM358 is 600mA . I have a power supply with 6-9-12-15 adjustable ; and it says , it can give a current of 2.5A
    So, if i connect it to my op-amps , do they blow out ?
    Thank you .

    The op amps will be fine. The PS rating is the maximum it can handle, the op amps will only draw what they need.

    As for the flicker, you need a pause of maybe 100 in the loop.
