PLs help me cos i just need this part to complete the whole project.
 

Which language and compiler?

Added after 7 minutes:

Here's a code in C18:
Code:
#include <p18f4520.h>

void interrupt_at_high_vector(void);
void high_isr(void);

#pragma config OSC = XT //Crystal oscillator
#pragma config WDT = OFF //Watchdog Timer off
#pragma config LVP = OFF //LVP off
#pragma config MCLRE = OFF //MCLR off
unsigned char ADCR;

void main(void){
	CMCON = 7; //DISABLE COMPARATOR
	TRISA = 1; //AN0 INPUT
	TRISC = 0; //CCP1 OUTPUT
	PORTA = 0;
	PORTC = 0;
	ADCON0 = 1; //ADC ON
	ADCON1 = 0x0E; //CH0 ANALOG
	ADCON2 = 0x3E; //20TAD, FOSC/64
	PR2 = 64; //APPROX. 1KHZ
	CCPR1L = 32; //START WITH 50% DUTY CYCLE
	CCP1CON = 0x0C; //PWM
	PIR1 = 0;
	T2CON = 0x04; //START TMR2
	while (1){
		ADCON0bits.GO_DONE = 1; //START CONVERSION
		while (ADCON0bits.GO_DONE); //WAIT FOR END OF CONVERSION
		ADCR = ADRESH; //ADC Result
		ADCR >>= 2; //DIVIDE BY 4 TO BRING TO SCALE OF 64
		while (!PIR1bits.TMR2IF); //WAIT FOR TMR2 INTERRUPT
		CCPR1L = ADCR; //UPDATE DUTY CYCLE

Hi,
If required, I can provide the code in ASM, mikroBASIC or mikroC.
 

Re: Using PIC18F4520 TO control a DC 12V FAN.ANYONE hav the

Thanks tahmid,
my project is actually on fuel cell power supply,
the fan is to cool the fuel cell stack when it is over a certain temperature.
can show me how to use if...else to control the fan like:
if the fuel cell stack temperature is above 40degrees than the fan will increase the speed,if below 40degree the fan will slow down.
 

Hi,
You have to use a temperature sensor, preferably, something simple like LM35 and use ADC to sense temperature and increase/decrease PWM, like:
Code:
#include <p18f4520.h>

#pragma config OSC = XT //Crystal oscillator
#pragma config WDT = OFF //Watchdog Timer off
#pragma config LVP = OFF //LVP off
#pragma config MCLRE = OFF //MCLR off
unsigned char ADCR, Duty, temp;

void main(void){
	CMCON = 7; //DISABLE COMPARATOR
	TRISA = 1; //AN0 INPUT
	TRISC = 0; //CCP1 OUTPUT
	PORTA = 0;
	PORTC = 0;
	ADCON0 = 1; //ADC ON
	ADCON1 = 0x0E; //CH0 ANALOG
	ADCON2 = 0x3E; //20TAD, FOSC/64
	PR2 = 64; //APPROX. 1KHZ
	CCPR1L = 32; //START WITH 50% DUTY CYCLE
	CCP1CON = 0x0C; //PWM
	PIR1 = 0;
	T2CON = 0x04; //START TMR2
	Duty = 32;
	while (1){
		ADCON0bits.GO_DONE = 1; //START CONVERSION
		while (ADCON0bits.GO_DONE); //WAIT FOR END OF CONVERSION
		ADCR = ADRESH; //ADC Result
		if (ADCR > 20) { //If temperature is greater than 40'C, increase duty cycle
			Duty++;
			if (Duty > 63)
				Duty = 63;
		}
		else { //Else, decrease duty cycle
			Duty--;
			if (Duty < 1)
				Duty = 1;
		}
		while (!PIR1bits.TMR2IF); //WAIT FOR TMR2 overflow
		PIR1bits.TMR2IF = 0;
		CCPR1L = Duty; //UPDATE DUTY CYCLE
		for (temp=0; temp<255; temp++){
			while (!PIR1bits.TMR2IF); //Wait for 10 TMR2 overflows
			PIR1bits.TMR2IF = 0;
		}
	}
}

Re: Using PIC18F4520 TO control a DC 12V FAN.ANYONE hav the

Using ADC & display voltage value to LCD Display:
result= ADRESH*256+ADRESL; // ADC Monitor
x=result/204.6; // Calculate & result in INT (x = ??)
y=result/204.6; // Calculate & result in DOUBLE (y = ??.????)
z=y-x; // Resulting z = ??.???? - ?? = 0.????
a=z*100;

hi tahmid,one last question,thanks alot by the way
i have doubt why i use decimal calculation for my ADC but LCD cant display according to the calculation in theory?
 

Re: Using PIC18F4520 TO control a DC 12V FAN.ANYONE hav the

hey tahmid..thanks alot man i found the way to do the voltage already dun need to reply.thanks man..
last favour from u can?
u mind we chat on msn? cos i need to ask u things or exchange email if u dun mind
 

Hi,
You can PM me or mail me at inferno-rage(at)hotmail.com
It'd be best if you ask over here 'cos there'll be plenty of people to help.

hi tahmid, i got a problem.this is my program.
i cannot display the "standby"
this project is to display standby when there is power ,if i turn the power down to 0v the display "FC power on" come out and i can turn the potentiometer to display voltage and current.can u help e to see what wrong with my code

Hi falcoz,
I'm not very comfortable with C coding. I can do it in bits and pieces but for bigger codes, I use mikroBASIC.

Re: Using PIC18F4520 TO control a DC 12V FAN.ANYONE hav the

its ok tahmid..now project is to use the fan to cool the fuel cell stack when the temperature is high.and the LCD display is to monitor the voltage,current,air pressure and temperature.after thaT I NEED to interface with the computer to display the readings of those four.u learn usart b4?if u have the schemetic diagram of pic18f4520 mcu board pls send me.thanks
