>Yes. If that 512 mv was stable my rotation measurement would > be simple If the pot can have Vcc (I haven't met a pot that couldn't take 50mW), that would reduce the impedance and possibly make the noise disappear. Even something as simple as a capacitor on the ADC input may help Also improve resolution too, if that matters. Currently you'd be looking at about 1mV/degree over 450 degrees travel at the pot wiper With 5000mV reference, unamplified 521mV would mean about 5 degree resolution (ie 5000/1024 = 5mV per ADC bit) -- http://www.piclist.com PIC/SX FAQ & list archive View/change your membership options at http://mailman.mit.edu/mailman/listinfo/piclist
