16F877 A/D IO Sample Programs

...the ground pin next to the port A pins is used internally in a way that is much closer to the A/D converter, and is thus meant to be the analog ground.

JB says:

After trying unsucessfully to get Microchip's example code (among others) to work, I hacked out this modification which seems to do the job, at least for me. If anyone else is having as a much difficulty as I did, this may help get things going. FWIW, the remaining least-significant bits are in ADRESL but this example makes use of the most-significant 8 bits left justified into ADRESH.

;pin 12 & 31 = 0VDC
;pin 1 = 5VDC
;pin 2 = 0 - 5 VDC analog input (center tap on 20k variable resistor)
;pin 13 & 14 = 4MHz crystal with 18pF capacitors to 0VDC
;pin 15,16,17,18,23,24,25,26 PORTC outputs each to 330 ohm resistor
;       in series with LED to 0VDC

;pwm.asm to learn CCP/PWM of 16f873. Last edited 5/23/2000
;Originated by Tony Nixon and modified by Mark Willcox.
;Grahm
;   This code will light a LED on portC pin RC2/CCP1 and 
;display the 8 bit hex value on portB LEDs or bargraph. The CCP1 LED
;will glow from bright to dim as the pot varies the pulse width. 
;Connect an O-scope to CCP1 and watch the PW vary. This code can be 
;used on other PICs but you will have to change the code to fit it's 
;instruction set. One wire on pot goes to +Vdd and the other end 
;of the pot goes to -Vss/ground. The wiper goes to RA0 input pin.
;You can use any input signal source as long as you don't exceed the 
;chips max specs. For example, a slow sine or ramp wave(1-5Hz) will 
;flash the CCP1 LED. Make sure you use a common ground for the 
;signal generator and PIC board.

  Hello to all, I am presently trying to program the PIC 16F876 to read in 2 analogue values on 2 different channels.But after the first reading , ADRESH:ADRESL registers continue to contain the value of the this conversion, so that result ofthe second reading is failed. How I can reset ADRES pair for futher reading ?
  Thank you for your time and patience.

  I'm looking for a program and circuit diagram to build a digital voltmeter(ADC) using pic16f627/8 that can measure voltages from from 0 to 30 volts. Voltages measured have to displayed on 2 LED's.Any advice on digital voltmeters will be appreciated.

• spams22793 at spamrmc.ca asks:

  Hello to all, I am presently trying to program the PIC 16F876 to read in 3 analogue values on 3 different channels and saving these values to different registers, for some reason, I cannot seem to get the proper values. I am using the C port to display what is being read onto the led's so i can see. I was wondering if you might have time and would not mind taking a look at my code because i just can't get it. for testing purposes, I only call one of the routines in the main at a time because i know that it would execute way to fast for me to see anything on the leds.
  
  Thank you for your time and patience
