My First Program in mikroC

C offers unmatched power and flexibility in programming microcontrollers. mikroC adds even more power with an array of libraries, specialized for PIC HW modules and communications.

Example: My First AD Conversion

The following code sample is one simple loop for performing AD conversion on MCU PORTA and displaying results on PORTB. Examine these lines and note that our humble example deals with highly complicated task of AD conversion. mikroC spares you from consulting the manual for specific MCU, code adjustments for different PIC models, and address arithmetic... Just let the compiler take care of it - simply and efficiently.

int temp_res;

void main() {
  ADCON1 = 0x80;          // Configure analog inputs and Vref
  TRISA  = 0xFF;          // PORTA is input
  TRISB  = 0x3F;          // RB7, RB6 pins are output
  TRISD  = 0;             // PORTD is output

  do {
    temp_res = Adc_Read(2);
    PORTD = temp_res;    // send lower 8 bits to PORTD
    PORTB = temp_res >> 2;
    // send two most significant bits to PORTB, pins RB7,RB6
  } while (1);
}
