8051 and ADC

Well you can generate the timing from one of three places here: You can i) Pump out data asynchronously to the PC and have it update the website. ii) Have the PC interrogate the 8051 and then post the resulting data to the website. ii) Wait until a user requests a temperature from a web page, then go and get it from the 8051 and serve it from the PC

Large enough, but no larger.

Put it this way - do you think 0.0001 Baud would be sensible?

Well you could use an oscilloscope. But why would you want to? Surely you are in control of the 8051s baud rate?

I would be more than happy to bid for the work - about =A320K would be about right.

More homework?

Hi,

Thanks Ted. Its not home work. I have to build the whole thing. Can any body suggest any link or some pointers to build the portal interface using some programming language. Plus I am open for more suggestions on the questions.

Regards, John

Google bit more;-)

What ever OS you are using does not matter, single thread should fix it. Fetch data form serial port and update the DB, file or web field.

What ever comes with your controller should be enough for given situation.

Use timer in PC (portal) envirment if you want to update the status atomatically. Moreoever, portal update cann't succedd the rate of ADC.

0- Controller interrupts when ADC is done. 1- Handle inturrpt of send routine (serial port in PC) . 2- Update the DB , webpage or file in same thread.

Ted made that clear, get your self next to oscilloscope.

If you are on M$ then activeX or simple dll. On *ix go for batch or maybe php.

Would you please explain a little more?

This *really* sounds like homework - from 1980! :)

Or maybe not...

Very, very small.

If it's only once a second it does not matter.

1. For quick and easy, I'ld use VisualBasic and MSComm for the serial port. VB will sit and listen to the serial port and do whatever when the 8051 sends somthing... or ... have the 8051 wait on the serial port and have VB request a reading from it.

Too rusty on web programming to remeber how to have HTML do VB.

Write activeX or DLL in your favourite language (vc or vb) todo serial port stuff. Now call your activeX or dll in html page. Google for using activex or dll in webpage. Sure, you got to do server side scripting too that can be done in java, asp etc.

For *nix type machines try CGI it simple and best way. or just write some batch that will read serial port and send back to caller which will be java or php server page. I didn't try this design by my self but quite sure should work. And as far as activeX or dll is concern that 100% solution.

BTW, what platfor you are on? ali

I assume you are serious.

1 - First how are you making the board? 2 - ditch the 1488 and 1489 use a MAX232. 3 - some 8052 have a built in A2D 4 - memory a standard 8052 has 8K of flash and 256 bytes of RAM more than enough. 5 - 6 - What language are you programming this in C Pascal ,asm, Forth? 7 - How will you talk to the 8052 from the PC? 8 - Budget? 9 - Why If it is not homework. Do you need to measure temperature for a website? Are you making 1 or many?

It sure takes less time to wire up a breadboard using 1488s and 1489s than MAX232s (fewer discretes) -;)

And requires more power supplies (+12,-12, and +5)

There are protoboards available with the Max232 amd caps set into the PCB.

Googleing for 8051 + protoboard lists all kinds of boards available.

Some even blank.

good luck
