temperature controller

[pinky]

Sir,

i am using pic16f877,my project is temperature controller.i would like to use inbuilt adc of pic16f877, but the output of the adc is 10bit.
how can i convert the output data(10bit) of adc into equal value of 8 bit data and display result using 7-segment display.

divide by 4 or shift right twice...same thing

sir,

Thanks for reply

i am sorry , i didn't get the result

shall i rotate the 10bit value?

output of 10bits are stored into two 8bit register of adc

how can i move 10bit value into 8bit output register.

Yes, you have to shift right the entire 10 bits. But this way you'll loose lower 2 bits.

For e.g

Before Shifting:  00000010 11010110
After Shifting:   00000000 10110101

sir,

adresh has 8bit
adresl has 8bit
how can i shift both registers
i have to right shift the both registers separately and tell with carry or without carry

can u give me code for this shiffting the registers

thank you

     BCF    STATUS, C     ;Clear carry, it will be shifted into MSB of adressh
     RRF     ADRESH, F     ;rotate adresH Right trough carry, carry holds previous LSB of adressH 
     RRF     ADRESL, F     ;rotate adresL right trough carry,  LSB will be in carry

Do this twice and the entire value will be shifted right 2 bits

No need for that shift none sense. During initialization, make sure bit7 (ADFM) of ADCON1 register is "0". The 8-bit ADC result is read from ADRESH only (i.e. ADRESL values are ignored).
