Display Temperature on 16X2 LCD using pic18

[pcusman]

Hi to all .
I am making a temperature sensor using LM 35 DZ , pic 18f452 and c18 compiler in mplab ide v 8.4

PROBLEM :-( : LCD not displaying TEMPERATURE (decimal) value .. Although Characters are displayed easily ..Please can someone do some sort of conversion from binary to ascii or whatever is required .

THANK YOU IN ADVANCE

You missed
cmd(0x80) //or any cursor location
lcddata(temp1);
lcddata(temp2);

just after ascii conversion.

some other hints:
You can change the justification in ADC so that no need of many << , >>, AND etc to select the MSB 8 bits out of 10bit ADC result. Change justification and then you will get the MSB 8 bits in ADRESH and LSB 2 bits in ADRESL (then take it directly from ADRESH.)


I can see some unwanted delays in your program (250ms).

Dont get confused if your LCD showing some thing other than numbers, then just remember, the 8 bit value exceeds 99.

Bravo ! , finally i can display temperature , thanks a lot vinodstanur

any idea how to write write the "degree" symbol ,, what should i write inside lcddata().

 

[vinodstanur]

for that you just search in google image search "ascii table" and find the ascii equivalent of that symbol. Then just call with that number.
Like lcddata(number);

Can anyone guide me how this code can be altered to get temperature to one decimal place instead of whole number
