voltmeter using pic 16f877a problem

[madogas]

hi i have problem the voltmeter dose not give me right reading when the input is 9 the reading is 30.9 when i test it with avometer across 20k its reads 9 but the lcd reads 30.9 ... help me

Hi there,

Are you sure about this function look(v/10000);??

 volt[0] = look(v/10000);
       volt[1] = look((v/1000)%10);
       volt[3] = look((v/100)%10);

current[0] = look(i/1000);
       current[2] = look((i/100)%10);
       current[3] = look((i/10)%10);

for current and voltage division why are you using different logic??

update me,

Best regards.

What is the range of measurement?

 

[lachmannmarcel]

With this value for R1 and R2 is 30V. And around 3a for current.

 

[lachmannmarcel]

And the Mother-of-All is this https://electronics-diy.com/70v_pic_voltmeter_amperemeter.php.

 

[madogas]

the rang is 0 to 30v and 3A current .
that is right ligo.george but it is not working correct with me idont know why

- - - Updated - - -

the rang is 0 to 30v and 3A current .
that is right ligo.george but it is not working correct with me idont know why

Zip and post your mikroC project files.

 

[madogas]

this the the project folder

[madogas]

thanks the same result

 

[jayanth.devarayanadurga]

It is showing 30V and 3A when adc inputs are 5V. It is right. There is some other problem. Draw the circuit in proteus and zip and post it here. The circuit is wrong. I is always 0. V is showing 30 V.

 

[madogas]

no the volt that i want to measured is 12 v when i connect it the result 30v

 

[jayanth.devarayanadurga]

Post your exact circuit. Earlier you said that range is 30 V and 3 A. Mention properly the range of V and I you want to measure.

Replace the 100k resistor to 1.82k and 20k by 1.3k.

[madogas]

i want to measure from 0 to 30v the current from 0 to 10 A is the circuit that i send it before can do this

 

[jayanth.devarayanadurga]

Can't help you unless you post your exact hardware circuit. My first code gives 30V range and it measures properly. Maybe problem is with your hardware.

 

[madogas]

the hardware is that i send it before maybe the 4MHz crystal is the problem in the original project he use 8 MHz

 

[jayanth.devarayanadurga]

Maybe you are using cra***d mikroC Compiler and it is creating wrong hex file. Try the hex file attached. It should give right value of V for your circuit.

 

[madogas]

maybe the 4MHz crystal is the problem in the original project he use 8 MHz

 

[jayanth.devarayanadurga]

My code is for 4 MHz.

 

[madogas]

the same result can u help to make this by another circuit
