Need help with Volt reading.

Hello Friends

PIC16f690 @ 4mhz internal clock

Reading voltage at AN9 0vdc ~ vdc 4.46
Vdd as ref @ 4.46vdc
AN9 input via 5k pot with vdd as 4.46 and Vss as 0.00

            binval = volt
        Endif
    Return

bin2asc:

digi3 = binval / 1000
temp = binval Mod 1000

digi2 = temp / 100
temp = temp Mod 100

digi1 = temp / 10
digi0 = temp Mod 10

digi3 = digi3 Or 0x30
digi2 = digi2 Or 0x30
digi1 = digi1 Or 0x30
digi0 = digi0 Or 0x30
    Return

The voltage on the DMM at pin AN9 and the result is off a few milli volts
any ideas ?

Thanx

1024 / 2 is not 4.46!! Why would you use 4.46v as a reference?

You need to map your output... ADC * 446 / 1024... But you will need a long as 1024 * 446 is quite big!

I believe he's using Vdd as the reference, which happens to be 4.46V.

The resolution of a 10-bit ADC is Vref/1024, in this case:

4.46/1024 = 0.00436V × 1000mV/V = 4.36mV.

So your measurements can't be better than a few mV off. If you need better results, you need an ADC with more bits.

I believe he's using Vdd as the reference, which happens to be 4.46V.

He is dividing ADC input by 2.... 5.12V is miles off 4.46V @ 4.46V..

Got it working Thank you for the direction guys

Hi friends ......

Reached a bump need a push help please !!!!

CODE SNIP:~

bin2asc:
digi3 = binval / 1000
temp = binval Mod 1000
digi2 = temp / 100
temp = temp Mod 100
digi1 = temp / 10
digi0 = temp Mod 10

digi3 = digi3 Or 0x30
digi2 = digi2 Or 0x30
digi1 = digi1 Or 0x30
digi0 = digi0 Or 0x30

The above code works fine 00.00 reading
my bump is i need to read 00.000
any direction will be good ! code is same as in first post.

Thanx
Cheers
