Hello,
        As a beginner with PIC's I don't have the programming skills to implemen
t
a function that I would like to use. I have worked with the BASIC STAMP 2
and would like to make a function that is available on the BS2. It's called
the RCTIME command and what it does is read a resistive value by charging
up a capacitor and measuring how long it takes to discharge through an
unknown resistor.
        My idea is to make a pin an output for a fixed length of time, change to
input and loop until it went low, count the loops and return with the value.
        Does this sound crazy ?? Would I be wasting my time trying to debug some
code for this function ??
        Any ideas would be appreciated. I'm using a 16C84 with a 4 mhz osc.
        My goal is to read a photoresistor.
        Thanks !!
