pic16f877a ADC source code for lm35

Hi

I'm using CCS PCWHD compiler,
What changeS should I make so as to keep my PIC ADC : +Vref = 1.2v and -Vref = ground
(which I kept using potential divider arrangement)

I have posted a working project there.

I just want to know how to configure PIC adc for given reference voltage in that source code.....

setup_adc(???);

Setup_adc() right. I have used 2V Vref+ and 0V Vref-.

But its not helping, in proteus simulation it is showing 255 equivalent to 5V. I just want my range to be btwn 0 to 1.2V for ADC.

LM35 max output is 1.5 V, So your Vref+ should be around 1.8V. Post your project files. Maybe you used an int8 variable to hold the value of adc read. You need a 16bit int or float for that.

I found the problem. is wrong. You have to use as PIC16F877A's adc is 10 bit.

If adc=8 is used then 8bit is considered and 2^8 is 256 i.e., 0-255, so, you are getting 255.

Actualy I used byte since my I'm doing 8-bit data transmission later so can't use 10bit adc.... So as to increase the 8bit resolution, I want my ADC conversion range to be just 0-1.2 V
i.e. 1.2v should be equivalent to 255

PIC16F877A ADC is 10 bit. If you use Vref+ as 1.2 V then with 10 bit adc you get 1023 raw adc value for 1.2 V. I don't know how to make it work as 8 bit adc.

8bit ADC is working fine, but by this source code its taking 5V as reference even aftr applying 1.2V to Vref+ i.e pin 5
How to configure ADCON in CCS code to make PIC to take into account the reference voltage?

Post your setup_adc() statement you used in your code. If possible post 16f877a.h file included in your code.
