here is some code that Burt has been helping me with, but I have a problem. I want to learn how to set my output high at 1Volt and have my output stay high until it reaches .8Volts. as of now, with this code I can only set my output high or low at one given voltage, so it will trigger high when it hits 1v but the second it goes below 1v it triggers low again.

PHP:
 #include <p16F690.inc>
     __config (_INTRC_OSC_NOCLKOUT & _WDT_OFF & _PWRTE_OFF & _MCLRE_OFF & _CP_OFF & _BOR_OFF & _IESO_OFF & _FCMEN_OFF)

	CBLOCK 		0x020
	endc
	#define _.8VOLT 0x28
	#define _1VOLT 0x33
	#define _2VOLT 0x66
	#define _2_5VOLT 0x7F

All you have to do is check for .8volts if no carry check fan for on or turn on fan
if carry we are less then .8volts so lets turn the fan off

Here try this out see what it will do for you

Don't you need to close the loop after "BDC Killfan" - or the code will run on and kill the fan anyway?

Burt, I tried this code, and tried modifying it as well. It only sets my output pin high on port c when the input voltage is below .8v otherwise the output remains low above .8v. This is all it seems to do for me.
I need to set output high when input reaches 1v and Higher, but if Voltage goes lower than 1v I still need it to stay high until voltage goes below .8V. I hope I am making sense.

I apologize for confusing the issue - I will shut-up ! :eek:
 
Well I no this works I tried it
Code:
#include <p16F690.inc>

    BNC     LessThan.8VOLT       ; Branch if less than 1V
    BC     killfan
	
killfan:
    bsf     PORTC,0          ;turn off fan
    return
  
LessThan.8VOLT:
    BTFSS   PORTC,0		 ;checks fan for on if on we skip next 
    bcf     PORTC,0		 ; turns on the fan	
    return

     return                      ;4 cycles (including call)
    
     end

I apologize for confusing the issue - I will shut-up ! :eek:
That's all right i stay confused I meant BC not BDC and you made me look agin I fixed it it works I think like he want fan on a .8volts and above
off if it is below it worked that way now
 
Thanks Burt, It does work- It does turn on fan at .8V and turn off at .8v. I think I need to explain my issue more, I hope this will make it more clear.
I will be monitoring a thermistor, so as my temp goes up, so my Voltage also goes up. So if 1Volt represents say 25 Degrees C and .8V Represents 20 Degrees C, then what I want to do is monitor my thermistor on the input, and not turn the fan on until it goes above 25 Degrees(1V), then once it has turned on, the fan will start removing heat from the liquid it is cooling. The fan must stay on until the coolant it is cooling has dropped below the temp of 20 Degrees (.8V). Then when the fan has turned off the coolant temp will start to rise again and it will repeat the cycle.
 
Yes I believe this is what I need to do, as it gives an example of Hysteresis in the use of a thermostat and a furnace.
