Hi, everyone! I am developing a fruit-sorter, and this device was controlled by PC. Now, I want to design a microprocessor system to execute it. About hardware, I don't want to change too much, so there is a problem I need to work out--- How to implement communication between AD convertor and my microprocessor system ? Need what kind of technologies? What about hardware? software?
I think, it sucks not having the specs of the circuitry of the ADC. I hope you have at least the schematics. Then you can find out, if the ADC is something like a parallel interface. They are usually pretty easy to interface to a micro-processor. You might have to check the timing requirements before. Another kind of ADCs might have a serial interface. That can be I2C or SPI or something more exotic. You will find out, if you read the datasheet of the ADC IC. If it is a third party developement, they owe you a documentation anyway. Good luck Sven
"If it is a third party developement, they owe you a documentation anyway." To be fair, if the original development contract did not include documentation in the deliverables they are under no obligation to provide it. And if the customer accepted it without documentation, they have only themselves toblame!
