I've used this with PICs in several noisy places, for both digital and analogue remote signals http://www.piclist.com/techref/microchip/aout.htm The output current is converted back to a voltage at the distant PIC with a resistor. I typically use 250 or 256 ohms for ADC applications, depending on whether Vcc is 5V or 5.12V Joe ----- No virus found in this message.
