Hi,

Would be very thankful if someone could help me out with this.


I am working on a small project which uses a PIC32MX534F064H MCU, I am trying to make the ADC read a voltage level on one of the Analog pins, but haven't been able to make it work.

My reference is the Datasheet for the MCU in question Datasheet.

I been trough the Datasheet multiple times but I am missing something and don't know what.


I have set up the ADC to Auto convert Mode and in the program code I am comparing the ADC1BUF0 against a value of (Int 500) to turn an LED on, this is just to verify that the ADC Setup is working, but so far no success.

Below is the code I'm loading in to the MCU:

// FUSE SETTINGS

#pragma config USERID = 0xFFFF          // Enter Hexadecimal value (Enter Hexadecimal value)
#pragma config FSRSSEL = PRIORITY_7     // SRS Select (SRS Priority 7)

#pragma config FPBDIV = DIV_8           // Peripheral Clock Divisor (Pb_Clk is Sys_Clk/8)
#pragma config FCKSM = CSDCMD           // Clock Switching and Monitor Selection (Clock Switch Disable, FSCM Disabled)

#pragma config FWDTEN = OFF             // Watchdog Timer Enable (WDT Disabled (SWDTEN Bit Controls))

// DEVCFG0
#pragma config DEBUG = OFF              // Background Debugger Enable (Debugger is disabled)
#pragma config ICESEL = ICS_PGx2        // ICE/ICD Comm Channel Select (ICE EMUC2/EMUD2 pins shared with PGC2/PGD2)
#pragma config PWP = OFF                // Program Flash Write Protect (Disable)
#pragma config BWP = OFF                // Boot Flash Write Protect bit (Protection Disabled)
#pragma config CP = OFF                 // Code Protect (Protection Disabled)

// #pragma config statements should precede project file includes.
// Use project enums instead of #define for ON and OFF.

    //LED Settings
    TRISF = 0;  //Data Direction Register (Tri State, Switch) "0 for Output" "1 For Input"

    
    
    while (1) 
    {
  
        
        if (ADC1BUF0 >= 50) {
            
            LATF = 15;  //Latch Register
            
        }
        
        else {
            LATF = 0;  //Latch Register
        }
           

    return (EXIT_SUCCESS);

        
    }
        
}

Thanks in Advance

I didn't look very closely at the code but you must check to see if at least one conversion was completed before checking ADC1BUF0 for valid data.
Datasheet

17.5.6 DONE Bit Operation The DONE bit (AD1CON1<0>) is set when a conversion sequence is complete. In Manual mode, the DONE bit is persistent. It remains set until it is cleared by software. The DONE bit can be polled to determine when the conversion has completed. In all automatic sample modes (ASAM bit = 1), the DONE bit is not persistent. It is set at the end of a conversion sequence and cleared by hardware when the next acquisition is started. Polling the DONE bit is not recommended when operating the ADC in automatic modes. The AD1IF flag bit (IFS1<1>) is latched after a conversion sequence is completed and can therefore be polled. Figure 17-5 shows the ADC configuring for Alternate Sampling mode. Figure 17-6 shows the ADC configuration for Scan mode. Figure 17-7 shows the ADC configuration for a combination of Alternate Sampling mode and Scan mode.

Example 17-5: Converting 1 Channel, Auto-Sample Start, Conversion Trigger Based Conversion Start Code
Code fragment

while (!IFS1 & 0x0002){}; // conversion done? 
ADCValue = ADC1BUF0; // yes then get first ADC value 
IFS1CLR = 0x0002; // clear ADIF
