Hello everybody,

I'm using an ATmega88 for debug reasons (OCD). I set up the ADC to have one output PORTC.7 and one input on PORTC.2

The rest of portc is used for ADC readings.

Code:
Config Portb.6 = Output                                     '- Set PORTB.6 as Outputs B1 red/green
Config Portb.7 = Output                                     '- Set PORTB.7 as Output  B1 red/green
Config Portc.0 = Input                                      '- Set PORTC.0 as Input
Config Portc.1 = Input                                      '- Set PORTC.1 as Input
Config Portc.2 = Input                                      '- Set PORTC.2 as Input (Kit switch)
Config Portc.3 = Input                                      '- Set PORTC.3 as Input
Config Portc.4 = Input                                      '- Set PORTC.3 as Input
Config Portc.5 = Input                                      '- Set PORTC.5 as Input
Config Portc.6 = Input                                      '- Set PORTC.6 as Input (Printer current)
Config Portc.7 = Output                                     '- Set PORTC.7 as Output (Main battery relay)


I just set them up like this, but I can't get PORTC.7 be switched to the on state, for that matter even If I change other inputs to be outputs. I also can't switch their states as well.

But I can read a switch that is connected via PORTC.2 in the software, and the rest of the ADC readings work as well.

Can port C be used like that? IE. setup inputs and outputs and still use the other ADC channels of PORTC ?

I tried this on another ATmega88 and It does the same thing. Any Ideas?

Thanks for any help you can provide,

Robert

Hi ,
Read the datasheet, ATmega 88 has not PORTC.7 and PORTC.6 is use for reset

Thanks for the pointer,

I did check the datasheet and you are correct. Sad

I guess I will just switch to the atmega128 instead, as I still need a lil more I/O.

Thanks for the help,

Robert

Mega328P in 32 pins TQFP package have ADC6 and ADC7 on their dedicated pins but they can not be outputs Very Happy

you can find a lot of "Arduino 2560 like" at very good price with a lot of ADC port (16)

now I use
Tiny 85
mega 328 p (arduino)
mega 2560 arduino too
they are 5V compatible

they cover all my needs

unfortunately, AFAK, it is difficult to find Xmega on printed circuit and they are 3.3V only so you need to convert all your signals
