Any opinions on reading temperature?  I'm new to the PIC world and I'm considering a PIC16C7X.  I think I will need something accurate to within a half degree (F), but will probably display it in two digits only (perhaps one decimal).

I read in the app notes about a capacitor discharge method to read a resistance (thermistor) that looked ok, but would the A/D convertor work easier?  I don't quite follow how I would use it.
