C Code to read ADC and O/p reading

Last week’s code to use USART serial port

Main code to test ADC

Further experiments If the ADC returns a number from 0 to 1024 Scale this to 80 (the width of a PUTTY screen) Use a for loop For(i=0;i<scaled_reading;i++){putchar(‘*’);} Printf(“\r\n”); This will print a “graph” across the screen.

Making a Thermometer Assume the thermistor initially reads 20 degrees After holding for 60 seconds assume it reads 35 degrees Scale the readings to display degrees i.e If you get a reading of XX for 20 degrees and YY for 35 degrees. 20⁰C 35⁰C XXYYZZ ??⁰C Don’t forget to use variables of type float if they are needed
