Edit the previous program to use 10-bit accuracy as shown here.
readadc10
Syntax:
READADC10 channel,wordvariable
- channel is a variable or a constant specifying the input pin (1, 2, or 4)
- wordvariable is the name of the wordvariable that holds the converted data.
Function:
Read the ADC channel (10 bit resolution,
0 to 1023) contents into a wordvariable.
Information:
The readadc10 command is used to read
the analogue value into the micro-
controller with 10-bit accuracy. Since the
result is a 10-bit number, a wordvariable
must be used. Note that only input pins 1,
2, or 4 have internal ADC functionality.
Download this new program and note the difference in program length and functionality.
In some cases the 8 bit resolution is adequate to do the job, but when a finer resolution is required, use
the readadc10 function.
