1.3 ADCHS Polling

This example application shows how to sample an analog input using the ADCHS peripheral and displays the converted samples on a serial terminal.

Description

In this application, an analog input is converted by a hardware trigger generated by the TMR peripheral. Converted digital value is displayed on the serial terminal.

Setting Up PIC32MK GP Development Kit

  • Connect the AN3 pin RB1 (Pin 2 of the J30) to the VCC (Pin 7 of the J31)
  • Connect the Debug USB port (J12) on the board to the computer using a micro USB cable
  • Connect the USB to UART port (J25) on the board to the computer using a micro USB cable

Setting Up PIC32MK MCJ Curiosity Pro Board

  • Connect the AN3 pin RB1 (Pin 6 of the J502) to the VCC (Pin 20 of the J502)
  • Connect the Debug USB port (J1) on the board to the computer using a micro USB cable (This will enumerate the virtual COM port)

Setting Up PIC32MK MCM Curiosity Pro Board

  • Connect the AN0 pin RA0 (Pin 0 of the J300) to the VCC (Pin 7 of the J300)
  • Connect the Debug USB port (J500) on the board to the computer using a micro USB cable
  • Connect the USB to UART port (J400) on the board to the computer using a micro USB cable

Running the Application

  1. Open the Terminal application (Ex.: Tera term) on the computer
  2. Connect to the “USB to UART” COM port and configure the serial settings as follows:
    • Baud : 115200
    • Data : 8 Bits
    • Parity : None
    • Stop : 1 Bit
    • Flow Control : None
  3. Build and Program the application project using its IDE
  4. Console displays the ADC count and the ADC input voltage
