I have made a small program to measure voltage(0-5) on AN2. Its works fine but have a little problem. When the voltage less than 1v (ie. 0.99) it shows wrong voltage on LCD.
ie when voltage 0.568V , Lcd shows 5.68v
0.0213v -----> 0.213v

Can anyone correct me..
here is the program (mikroc)

Code:
// LCD module connections
sbit LCD_RS at RB4_bit;
sbit LCD_EN at RB5_bit;
sbit LCD_D4 at RB0_bit;
sbit LCD_D5 at RB1_bit;
sbit LCD_D6 at RB2_bit;
sbit LCD_D7 at RB3_bit;

sbit LCD_RS_Direction at TRISB4_bit;
sbit LCD_EN_Direction at TRISB5_bit;
sbit LCD_D4_Direction at TRISB0_bit;
sbit LCD_D5_Direction at TRISB1_bit;
sbit LCD_D6_Direction at TRISB2_bit;
sbit LCD_D7_Direction at TRISB3_bit;
// End LCD module connections
char txt1[] = "ADC Example";
char txt[2];
char txt2[5];
unsigned int temp_res;
float data2;

void main() {
ansel=4;  // Configure AN2 pin as analog
  anselh=0;
  c1on_bit=0;
  c2on_bit=0;
   ////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
  TRISA  = 0xFF;              // PORTA is input
  Lcd_Init();
  Lcd_Cmd(_LCD_CLEAR);               // Clear display
  Lcd_Cmd(_LCD_CURSOR_OFF);          // Cursor off
  Lcd_Out(1,1,txt1);
  adc_init();
  do {

    temp_res = ADC_read(2);   // Get 10-bit results of AD conversion
   

    data2 =  (temp_res*5)/1023.0;
    FloatToStr(data2,txt2);
    txt2[5]=0;
    Lcd_Out(2,1,txt2);
    Delay_ms(1000);
    }
    while(1) ;


}
 

Try this code.

    ANSELH = 0x00;
    ADCON1 = 0x80;
    c1on_bit=0;
    c2on_bit=0;
        
    Lcd_Init();
    Lcd_Cmd(_LCD_CLEAR);        // Clear display
    Lcd_Cmd(_LCD_CURSOR_OFF);   // Cursor off
    Lcd_Out(1,1,txt1);
  
    do {
 
        data2 = ADC_read(2);    // Get 10-bit results of AD conversion
        data2 =  data2 * 5.0 / 1023.0;
        FloatToStr(data2,txt2);
        Lcd_Out(2,1,txt2);
        Delay_ms(1000);
    }
    while(1) ;
 
 
}

 

what reason to increase size of array?
is it like
float = 4byte
so

5*4 = 20;?
 

Mr. jayanth I tried the way but the problem is same... but somehow I found another method here is the changed code.
Code:
unsigned long ADC_Value, value, ADC_Value1, value1;
char *volts = "00.00 V";


/////////// Inside the main Function //////////////
ADC_Value = ADC_read(2);
    value = (ADC_Value * 500)/1023;
   volts[0] = value/1000+ 48 ;
   volts[1] = (value/100)%10 + 48;
   volts[3] = (value/10)%10 + 48;
   volts[4] = (value)%10 + 48;
   Lcd_Out(2,1,volts )   ;





I got this from internet searching and of that I cannot understand some parts:shock::shock: such as the meaning of "48" of the following code
Code:
 volts[0] = value/1000+ 48 ;

Thank You very much for your contribution
