Hi all, I am new to the microcontrollers and programming and I have a few questions
I am using a PIC16F877A microcontroller and PICBASIC PRO Compiler
I am trying to configure the ADC, my input signal is -5 to +5 VDC
it says on the manual that if I configure the control bits as 1000 I can use AN3 and AN2 as my VREF+ and VREF-, does that mean that I can have a negative reference voltage like -5 VDC or it just mean that my ref voltages can be two values between 0 and 5V?
and can someone give me a sample code in BASIC that I can try, cause I tried a code from some website but it didnt work..
here is the website where I got the code from:
http://www.mikroe.com/en/books/picbasicbook/00.htm
maybe the code is written in C! I cant tell cause I am no expert in programming
Second question: after configuring the ADC, how do I refer to the ADC result and use it to set the dutycycle for PWM? I need to change vary the dutycycle between 10 and 90% for voltages between -5 and -0.1V and between 0.1 and +5V?
Thanks in advance for your help
