Hello PIC users,

   I have a real question as well as using this as a test message for
the PIC e-mail list which seems to have low volume currently.

   I have a thermal control system (crystal oscillator oven) that uses
an Analog Devices front end, an AD7714, which is a signal conditioning
ADC.  The 7714 digitizes the output of a thermistor bridge (a voltage
level of +/- 1.25 volts) and the output of the 7714 is a 24-bit serial
word.  The goal here is to have the oven control done by a PIC.  I'm
wondering if anyone has the driver code which will permit communication
with an AD7714 from a PIC.  I've never coded assembly language before so
I'm starting at ground zero.  I have the system running from BASIC, but
now we want to decrease the physical size of everything from an entire
benchtop to a small pc board.

   Has anyone used a PIC to speak to this Analog Devices part?  If so,
I'm hoping for some getting-started hints!

   Thanks,
