MCP3202 ADC issue

Using Arduino Sensors
#1

Hello all!

I dont know if this is a ADC problem or a arduino(code) problem. Long story short is that i get some wrong output from my ADC.

On the left column is the voltage the the ADC has as input and on the right one is the number that i get from it.

0 v 0
0.5 380
1 v 720
1.5 v 1050
2 v 1380
2.5 v 1720
3 v 2050
3.5 v 2430
4 v 2890
4.5 v 3370
5 v 4095

I guess i should have for 2.5v = 2048, right ?

Any tips ?

Also here is the code that i use:

#include <SPI.h>

#define CS_3202 10

void setup()
{
  Serial.begin(57600);
  pinMode(CS_3202,OUTPUT);
  digitalWrite(CS_3202,HIGH);
  SPI.begin();
  SPI.setClockDivider(SPI_CLOCK_DIV8);
}

void loop()
{
  Serial.print("CH0 =");
  Serial.println(Read3202(0,CS_3202));   
  Serial.print("CH1 =");
  Serial.println(Read3202(1,CS_3202));   
  delay(300);
}

int Read3202(int CHANNEL, int CS){
  int msb;
  int lsb;
  int commandBytes = B10100000 ;              // channel 0		 	
  if (CHANNEL==1) commandBytes = B11100000 ;  // channel 1 
  digitalWrite(CS, LOW);
  SPI.transfer (B00000001);                   // Start bit
  msb = SPI.transfer(commandBytes) ;
  msb = msb & B00001111;
  lsb = SPI.transfer(0x00);
  digitalWrite(CS, HIGH);
  return ((int) msb) <<8 | lsb;
}

Provided that you can select either channel, and both return different and plausible values, I'd trust the code and received digital values, and look into the wiring and decoupling. Dunno what could cause the significant increase of the step width above 3V.
