    PIC microcontroller LED display sound level meter

    okay so I have this code so far, how do I program it so it lights up LEDS depending on the voltage level? if;

    5v=1024 bits
    0.34v=70 bits


    RB0=70
    RB1=63
    RB2=56
    RB3=49
    RB4=42
    RB5=35
    RA2=28
    RA3=21
    RA6=14
    RA7=7
    so for example if the voltage is greater than 28 then RA7,RA6,RA3,RA2 would light up



    Code:
    //16F819 PIC software to drive a 10-LED bargraph display from a dc level on ADC input 0 (AN0).
     //Port A and B used to drive LEDs. 
    //Pin Configuration:
     //Pin Configuration:
     //1-RA2 (LED4)   18-NC 
    //2-RA3 (LED3)   17-AN0 (DC Sound Level input)
     //3-NC     16-RA7 (LED1)
     //4-MCLR    15-RA6 (LED2) 
    //5-VSS    14-VDD
     //6-RB0 (LED10)   13-RB7 (PGD)
     //7-RB1 (LED9)   12-RB6 (PGC)
     //8-RB2 (LED8)   11-RB5 (LED5)
     //9-RB3 (LED7)   10-RB4 (LED6) 
     
    #include <xc.h>               //header file for device
     #include <stdint.h>         //header file for standard types e.g uint8_t 
     
    //fuse settings to configure device 
    //i.e. NOWDT - No Watchdog Timer, INTOSCIO - Internal clock used, pins available for I/O #pragma config MCLRE = ON, CP = OFF, CPD = OFF, BOREN = OFF, WDTE = OFF #pragma config PWRTE = OFF, FOSC = INTOSCIO, LVP = OFF, DEBUG = ON 
     
     
     
    void main() {     //*** INSERT ANY VARIABLE DECLARATIONS HERE ***     //uint8_t = 8-bit unsigned number     //unint16_t = 16-bit unsigned number     uint16_t value;

        //use internal 8MHz clock (FOSC=8MHz)

        ADCON1bits.ADFM = 1;       
         //A/D Result Format Right Justified     ADCON1bits.ADCS2 = 1;        
       //A/D clock Source divided by 2     ADCON1bits.PCFG = 0b1110;     
      //Enable AN0 input for sound level ADC 
    13 
     
     ADCON0bits.ADCS = 0b01;         //set ADC clock, should be between 1.6us and 6.4us (1/8MHz x 16 = 2us)   
    ADCON0bits.CHS = 0b000;         //select AN0 for input    
     ADCON0bits.ADON = 1;            //A/D Converter is operating     
        do     {     //The code below will read the digital value from the 10-bit analogue to digital converter.  
                       //The range of the return value will be between 0 and 1023. Where 0V = 0 and 5V = 1023.   
                       //For example 2.5V on the ADC will return 511 to the variable value below.    
     ADCON0bits.GO_nDONE = 1;        //start A/D conversion    
     while(ADCON0bits.GO_nDONE == 1);    //wait for A/D conversion to complete  
       value = ADRESH;                 //read MSB of ADC result   
      value = value << 8;             //shift left 8 bits     value = value + ADRESL;               
                                                //read LSB of ADC result. value now contains a 10-bit ADC number 
     
     
     
        //*** INSERT YOUR PROGRAM CODE HERE TO ILLUMINATE THE LEDs*** 
     
     
     
        //The PIC PORTA and PORTB registers should be used to output a value to the Port pins   
      //PORTA=0b00001111; will output a binary number to port A. Bits 7,6,5,4=0 and Bits 3,2,1,0=1.    
     //Alternatively PORTA=15; for decimal equivalent.    
     //The parameter may also be a variable instead of a constant e.g. PORTA=value; 
     
     
       } while (1); }

    I suggest you do something on your own. If you want free code this is not a good site to get it.

    I would recommend a two step process. Starting with a value of zero:

    1. Find the highest bit that needs to be set (using basic algebra)
    2. Set all lower bits to one

    Since your output pins seem not to be sequential, you will need to do a bit of additional work to map the result to the physical pins.
