    Default Pic Basic has a analogue to digital converter

    Is it possible to use a Pic Basic has a analogue to digital converter or has a interface.

    For example reading a voltage from 0 to 5 volts so it can be converted into digital by the Pic Basic and fed into the USB of a computer.


    Thanks heaps.

    Yes, a PIC and PICbasic can easily do that.

    Have you worked with PIC's before?
    Have you tried the usual "blink an LED" for starters to learn pic's??

    Do you already have a PIC chip model in mind??
    Are you targeting a specific pin count or just wanting to experiment with A/D?

    As far as feeding the A/D value to a PC via USB, I have not done that (others here have I'm sure) but you could easily write that value to an LCD or other display or feed it to a PC via serial.

    Some more specifics on what your overall goal is might help.

    Any Pic chip would do and just any number of pins would be fine.

    Thanks

    Why insist on using 32 Bits when you're not even able to deal with the first 8 ones ??? ehhhhhh ...

    IF there is the word "Problem" in your question ...
    certainly the answer is " RTFM " or " RTFDataSheet " !!!
