>> I'm trying to create a digital thermometer which shows the current temperature on a LCD. I was thinking of using the LM335 as the temperature probe, as it is a linear temperate/voltage relationship. I was planning on using the PIC16F877 because of the 10 Bit ADC and the vast number of IO pins. << Check out the 16C925 or 926. These can drive an LCD glass directly. They are very handy for simple measure-and-display applications. >> I've been looking around and i can't find how PIC's would represent fractions, and how to substitute into formulas like the above. << Use either fixed point or floating point. ***************************************************************** Embed Inc, embedded system specialists in Littleton Massachusetts (978) 742-9014, http://www.embedinc.com -- http://www.piclist.com hint: PICList Posts must start with ONE topic: [PIC]:,[SX]:,[AVR]: ->uP ONLY!
