Read value from GPIO input

Hi guys,

I set a gpio as input, and i connect a variable voltage (0.5V ~ 3.3V) to the gpio. How can I read it? I use GPIO_ReadValue function but can only get two different values.

Now I think 0.5V ~ 3.3V to most people represents a voltage that varies between 0.5 and 3.3v, then you said

Well a digital input can only provide two different values by definition, so we assumed you were needing an analogue input, hence the talk about ADCs.

Because this is an GPIO/ADC thread and you are asking something different (?) without starting a new thread :p

It's still not clear...

:confused:

Reading a simple GPIO is described several times here, last time 4 days ago ;)

Come on, is that so difficult :confused:

Use Search function and search for "ADC AND LPC1769"

and Voilà ;)

a nice sample at #5 of http://knowledgebase.nxp.com/showthread.php?t=2858

Maybe my question was not clear sorry...

I want to control a lighting system by pwm; at the end of my timer MR0, i read on gpio input and the "word" permit to modulate my pwm... But my problem is: I don't succeed to configure of GPIO inputs.

That's why I ask help.... not hoax ...


I configure in my main GPIO and I try to read input on IRQ in timer

I think this thread must be a joke or otherwise a hoax... :(

Hello everyone,

I know there is a lot of posts about this subject but I'm really lost...:confused:

What do I need to read the voltage ( 0 or 3V3 ) applied in input on lpc1769 board, port1 for example?

I accept links, code, topics....

It's a DIGITAL input, how do you expect to read analogue values from it?

I think you should do at least a little research.

A) which controller are we speaking of?
B) ever heard of ADC?
C) a normal GPIO pin has only two states: on (3.3V) and off (0V) so it is perfectly normal that you only get two different values.
D) have you read the user manual?
