Hi all,
Sorry about that previous message ( forgot the shift when I hit enter )
I am currently working on a project fir the pic16f876 and I am using
picforth. My concern is with the analog to digital converter module. I have
read the documentation for the pic and its A-to-D registers and have come
across a few problems. First, the documentation says, for the ADCON1
register, bits 0,1,2,3 and 7 are used, but in the picforth.fs file these ar=
e
not the bits used, and they do not have the corresponding names.
My second problem is from what looks to me to be a typo of some kind. In th=
e
pdf datasheet it lists the bits of the ADCON0 register, and it gives a brie=
f
description of each one. Under the go//done bit it explains:
GO/DONE: A/D Conversion Status bit
If ADON =3D 1:
1 =3D A/D conversion in progress (setting this bit starts the A/D conversio=
n)
0 =3D A/D conversion not in progress (this bit is automatically cleared by
hardware when the A/D
conversion is complete)
This clearly is confusing, because it is in fact the next ( implemented )
bit that is named ADON. Its description:
ADON: A/D On bit
1 =3D A/D converter module is operating
0 =3D A/D converter module is shut-off and consumes no operating current

Any helpful hints for implelentation would be gratefully appreciated.
Thanks in advance.
