    Adc...

    Hello all,
    I am using a PIC18F microcontroller with the CCS compiler and need some help finishing my coding.
    Does anybody know the meaning of the mode option in the setup_adc() function?
    It has options of ADC_OFF (obvious), ADC_CLOCK_DIV_2, ADC_CLOCK_DIV_8, ADC_CLOCK_INTERNAL, and such, but I am confused by what exactly this does for my ATD converter. It does not seem to be affecting my ATD. Maybe I am doing something wrong, I don't know.
    Any help would be greatly appreciated.
    Brad

    I would imagine it sets bits in a control register. Look up the definitions of those macros in your headers. Then look up the meanings in the user manual.
    7. It is easier to write an incorrect program than understand a correct one.
    40. There are two ways to write error-free programs; only the third one works.*

    yeah, i've already done that. they are very vague in the explanation of this function. which is kind of nerve racking.
    thanks though.
