[SOLVED] how to further improvise my current program(Volt Meter) to become a thermal sensor

[InNeedOfHelp]

Hi guys , I managed to display the voltage of my board using C18 compiler. any ideas how i can use these current code to build a thermal sensor out of it ?

 

[Tahmid]

Use a sensor chip that outputs a voltage that represents the temperature, so that the output voltage to the PIC changes with temperature. Adjust the voltmeter code to read the sensor. Eg. If you use LM35, the output is 10mV per degree Celsius. So, if you have 74'C, the output is 0.74V. Adjust your code so that when the input is 0.74V, the voltmeter display 74 ('C) instead of displaying 0.74 (V).

Hope this helps.
Tahmid.

i using tc74

 

[Tahmid]

TC74 uses the I2C protocol. So you'll need to utilize that. The Voltmeter program you have can not be completely used. You can make use of the display part, but not the ADC sense part.

how do initialize I2C ?

hello ,can i have the drawing of the VOLTEMETER proteus design please ??

hello , this code is for voltmeter using pic18f4550, iam facinf a problem in displaying values on LCD /// can anyone help??
