Electric Car Instrumentation

[Chappie]

Hi,

I'm currently designing the instrumentation for an electric car i.e. ammeter, voltmeter, motor temp indicator etc. I've chosen a PIC to monitor all analogue I/p's and display the results on several 7-seg disp. However, I'm having trouble using multiple lookup tables for the various I/p's.

First I thought of checking the analogue ch bits and jumping to the relevant subroutine from there...but it isn't working. Any I/p would be gratefully recieved

I'm using a 16f877A PIC btw.

Your question doesn't make much sense?, try posting your code (use the 'code' tags on the 'go advanced' page to surround the code so it formats properly).

Sorry. Hope this helps make it a little clearer

;This routine is a software delay of 10uS for the a/d setup.

outputdata

I would like to know how I can refer to different lookup tables for AN0-AN3...

Simply don't run it in a single loop, read each input in turn, display it as required, then move to the next input and do the same - enclose the complete chain in an overall loop.

 

[picbits]

And move to an 18F component - much more efficient ...........

But not at all required!.

Very true but I'm a convert
