Happy New Year everyone. Dwayne, thank you for the detailed description, I am looking forward for more details later. From what you describe there seems to be a lot of hardware involved ... I'll probably try it the nasty way: A/D less PIC, sensor transistor mounted as common emitter amplifier and a cap between C and gnd, and a R to a PIC IO pin. And a good quality voltage regulator (a Seiko probably). Maybe I'll replace the PIC side resistor with a JFET, and bridge it with a large R, this has worked well in the past (with Up < 2V), to improve A/D linearity. How much precision did you achieve ? thanks, Peter -- http://www.piclist.com#nomail Going offline? Don't AutoReply us! email listserv@mitvma.mit.edu with SET PICList DIGEST in the body
