reading a voltage

Post by siliconchip »

hi all
ive made a flow chart to read my circuits voltage and if it drops to 3v a led will flash, ive used 2 10k resistors in series on AN3 connected to the 9v supply that goes through a buck convertor giving the circuit 5 volts i can adjust this output to below 3v in the hope it works but it doesnt, in simulation it works fine, any help would be appreciated cheers

Hi

Without seeing your chart / circuit it is difficult to really offer muvh help.

If you post, along with a sketch of your circuit, it would help.

Hi

I have only had a chance for a brief look, hopefully I can look further later.

I don't see anything glaringly obvious, rather just general.

You are running FRC which is not great for accuracy, if possible consider a clock source.
Your chart will toggle the output very quickly on hardware. Tad will be anywhere between 1-6uS on FRC (x 11 cycles from my fading memory I think). Perhaps consider a delay in the loop of a few hundred mS to allow you to see the on/off?

I will look more later when I get a chance.

Regards
