Hi,
Do you guys mind to give me some advice on how do I tap voltage the output voltage of the solar panel for ADC purposes? I'm building a boost DC/DC converter where the input of this circuit is being supplied by a solar panel.
By using a PIC microcontroller, I intend to perform some ADC set-up to read the output voltage of the solar panel to control my duty ratio of my DC/DC converter. Any advice?
Can I connect a small resistance value in series and pull a wire out from the end of the resistor for voltage reading? Meaning, I apply this pull-up as the input to the PIC for conversion. Is this good enough? Will this work?
All the while, I thought it is good enough to perform my ADC using my PIC but by going through posts in this forum, it seems that there are a lot of questions about Vref for ADC. Help really needed. I'm lost. Thanks in advance...
