Temperature Sensor : Interfacing LM35 and LCD Display to PIC18F4550

[alysha rahayu]

Hey.

 

I need some help with my programming for Temperature Sensor. I used LM35 and connected it to PORTAbits.RA0 so as to make use of the ADC module. I connected my LCD display to PORTD. However, I can’t display the temperature=t on my LCD display. Can someone check my source code? I managed to build it successfully but unable to show the temperature. Below is the result of my Temperature Sensor. As you can see, the black block was supposed to show the temperature. Here’s my code :

 

 

//Temperature Sensor –  Convert the Analog signal to Digital and Display it to the LCD Display Board

 

#include <p18F4550.h>

#include <delays.h>

#include “lcd.h” // Include file is located in the project directory

 

 

 

// Include this when using Bootloader Program ================================

#pragma udata

 

extern void _startup (void);        // See c018i.c in your C18 compiler dir

#pragma code _RESET_INTERRUPT_VECTOR = 0x000800

void _reset (void)

{

    _asm goto _startup _endasm

}

#pragma code

 

#pragma code _HIGH_INTERRUPT_VECTOR = 0x000808

void _high_ISR (void)

{

    ;

}

 

#pragma code _LOW_INTERRUPT_VECTOR = 0x000818

    ;

}

    /* The data sheets warn that the LCD module may fail to initialise properly when

       supply does not rise to its correct operating voltage quickly enough.

 

       It is recommended that after power is applied, a command sequence of

       3 bytes of 30h be sent to the module. This will ensure that the module is in

       8-bit mode and is properly initialised. Following this, the LCD module can be

       switched to 4-bit mode.

Hello,

I hope you have solved problem as it is posted 2 months before.

 

If not,

1) you have to convert your temepature in string format to display on LCD.

2) you have to make calculation in float variable.

 

 

ex:

     lcd_write_cmd(0xC0); // Move cursor to line 2 position 1

 

lcd_write_data(t); // Display the temperature 

---

  Instead of direct ‘t’ it should be converted to string. 

                                                                        

---

Instead of  ‘int’ ‘t’ it should be ‘float’.

lcd_write_data(0xDF);

lcd_write_data(‘C’);

i use c18 “long time” ago. if i’m not mistaken, itoa() is a built in function in c18. you can use this to convert the integer to string straight away.

have a nice day

Can you share with me schematic circuit for this project…it can help me for my project…thank you 

[himanshu singh]

help me rectifying error in this code for ADC

}

 

unsigned long int ReadADC(void) // ADC READING FUNCTION, RETURN VALUE IS OF 16 BITS SO UINT16_T AND CHANNEL LENGTH AS INPUT ARGUMENT

                      // enabling 0to 7 channels

ADMUX|= (1<<MUX0);

 

ADCSRA |= (1<<ADSC); // start adc conversion

 

while (!(ADCSRA & (1<<ADIF))); // wait until conversion is complete

ADCSRA|= (1<<ADIF); // clear adif flag after completion, yes its 1 to clear it

return (ADC); // return the digital output

}

same problem i am facing ….

can any one help me to control the temperature using any kind of pic….and display the corresponding temperature on LCD…

[aqeel raza]

Can any one help me i want to interface LM35 through PLC 

[CIRCUITPROBLEM]

can anyone help to solve this problem??i am facing the same problem.

[Anonymous]

hello , can any one help me i m facing problem with LM35 interfacing with p18f4520 . The readings changing from 24 to 25 degree
