ADC with LED output

[mister_e]

hi

I recently moved from my bs2 to pic's and I have a pic16f877A that I only recently got to work, and I've already gotten it to do most of basic stuff, blink and LED, run an LCD, run a servo, and so on... and today I started messing with the ad converter and just loaded one of the demo adc programs that came with pbp, to see what would happen and I got it to work, but It displays the digital value of portA.0 on the LCD and I was wondering would it be possible to display the value on portA.0 with LED's (say on portD) instead of the LCD so instead of seeing "Value : (and what ever number)" I would see 8 LED's displaying the binary value of portA.0.

Thanks

trisd = 0 'set portd to all outputs
adresult var byte 'set up a byte that will receive the a/d input from the ADC
portd = adresult 'set portd to the result value

Hi inventor2008,
Skimask gave you nice tips. Since you're a beginner, i'll give you a working example of it.. just to compensate some "unwanted post" in your thread.
