Hello, I am looking for a practical method of generating a random number (32 bit) with a PIC. That is, how to generate the 'seed' value, not the pseudo sequence. We have tried to generate random bits by using the last bit of the ADC while sampling the output of a DC/DC converter (that we have anyway) but the this does not seem to be random enough, we get many sequences of '1' or sequences of '0'. Andy idea will be greatly appreciated. Thanks, Tal -- http://www.piclist.com hint: To leave the PICList mailto:piclist-unsubscribe-request@mitvma.mit.edu
