I have got out a 16F877 and started playing with it's analog inputs whilst I
am waiting on an answer to an external ADC like a 548 etc. I have been
looking around for code to study on reading an input as an analog. I came up
with this.

DEFINE ADC_BITS 10              'Its a 10 bit pic
DEFINE ADC_SAMPLEUS 50          'Sample time
TRISA = 255                             'Sets all port a to input
A0 VAR WORD

High PORTB.7
Pause 500
ADCON1 = 2
Loop:

ADCIN 0,A0

SerOut PORTB.6,4,["start",#A0,"stop"]
Toggle PORTB.7
Pause 50
GoTo loop

I have an output of a 535 hooked up to A0. My question? Is there anything
wrong with the above method? Will it be accurate? I have seen another method
using binary to set up conditions etc like clock rate etc etc . Why should I
do it different etc.

All comments welcome.
