I have connected two IR receivers to PIN0 , PIN1 of ADC unit but the first sensor has effect on the other one! what should i do to solve this problem?

 

Is that the correct way to connect an IR receiver? Have you looked at the datasheet for that receiver. It may give you some circuits recommendations

 

Are these some sort of analog IR sensor? If so, got as match and a voltmeter?

Hold the match (a simple IR source) over each sensor in turn and note the response on pins 60 & 61 with the voltmeter. If you get the expected response (each acts individually) then your problem is with your code.

If so, post a bit of code, just enough to demonstrate the problem. How you set up the converter and how you obtain the result.

If not, take a good picture of your unit and post that back here.

 

this is my sensor: http://solderslingers.com/cart/images/ir-led.JPG

// Alphanumeric LCD Module functions
#include <alcd.h>

#define ADC_VREF_TYPE 0x60

// Read the 8 most significant bits
// of the AD conversion result
unsigned char read_adc(unsigned char adc_input)
{
ADMUX=adc_input | (ADC_VREF_TYPE & 0xff);
// Delay needed for the stabilization of the ADC input voltage
delay_us(10);
// Start the AD conversion
ADCSRA|=0x40;
// Wait for the AD conversion to complete
while ((ADCSRA & 0x10)==0);
ADCSRA|=0x10;
return ADCH;
}

I have connected two IR receivers to PIN0 , PIN1 of ADC unit but the first sensor has effect on the other one! what should i do to solve this problem?

Can you describe more on how the first IRR affects the second IRR.

Allen

 

i hold the IR source on the first IRR and the value of ADC0 changes for example from 0 to 200 and the value of ADC1 changes from 0 to 20!!!!

 

How powerful is your IR source and how far is it from the other sensor?

 

Place the other sensor inside a sealed tin can and repeat the experiment.

If you get similar results there is an electrical problem in the ground path.

 

I faced a similar problem with a different Microcontroller.
some micro controller require that in addition to enabling the ADC functionality on the pin, you also need to make the particular pin as input port. so check with your controller and if it requires then,
when you are reading channel0 make only its pin as input and make remaining ports as output. and similarly for reading channel1 make only its pin as input. remaining should stay as output.

the ir source does not affect on the second sensor!
