Right, sitting on the couch @ home and was about to post about a strange result I was getting (unexpected LED lighting up)...until I checked my wiring again and I found the breadboard was still swapped from when I was doing the PWM routines with the LEDs, :-).

Just checked with my DMM and it's 100% spot on, will adjust the CASEes to accommodate the 3 ranges I need and move it to a PCB, :-)

Just wanted to say a really BIG thank you to everyone who took the time to help a newbie like me see the light (hehe no pun intended).

I've decided to waterproof the LM35 and place it in the bath to show my 3yr old daughter when the water is too hot to touch - although she knows not to touch unless me or my wife has checked it first.

My next project will be to take an input from my RC transmitter and drive a servo to start with, think I'm going to have to do quite a bit of reading, :-)

Once again, thank you Alain, Fratello, Charles and Hendrik, appreciate the assistance - a couple of light bulbs have gone on in my head, looking forward to the journey PICs might lead me on.
