PSoC 5, 3 & 1 MCU

I am doing handson on single ended adc. For that purpose i have used the code from psoc creator code examples which is for 16 bit resolution. But i want to do adc lcd for 8 bit resolution. I have done changes in adc - resolution bit is 8 bit, input range is 1.024 v , continue mode. In main () code, i have changed data type size from 16 bit to 8 bit. I used P6[5] port for pot. When i start to vary the pot, the values are fluctuating and after FF value by varying the pot continue it starts roll over . So my question is why this is happened? Is there any settings required to do?

That shouldn't happen. Its quite strange. Can you please provide your PSoC Creator project? It will make debugging easier.

Its similar with code example (ADC_single_ended). Only change is ADC Resolution of 8 bit.

uint8 output;

    /* Start the components */

    LCD_Start();

    ADC_DelSig_1_Start();

    /* Start the ADC conversion */

    ADC_DelSig_1_StartConvert();

    /* Display the value of ADC output on LCD */

    LCD_Position(0u, 0u);

    LCD_PrintString("ADC_Output");

    for(;;)

    {

        if(ADC_DelSig_1_IsEndConversion(ADC_DelSig_1_RETURN_STATUS))

        {

            output = ADC_DelSig_1_GetResult8();

LCD_Position(1u, 0u);

            LCD_PrintInt8(output);

        }

    }

This function ADC_DelSig_1_GetResult8 returns the result of an 8-bit conversion. If the resolution is set greater than 8-bits, the LSB of the result will be returned. When the ADC is configured for 8-bit single ended mode, the ADC_GetResult16() function should be used instead. This function returns only signed 8-bit values. The maximum positive signed 8-bit value is 127, but in singled ended 8-bit mode, the maximum positive value is 255.

Just change ADC_DelSig_1_GetResult8 to ADC_DelSig_1_GetResult16 and it will work.
