Nice you got it working. Also very nice graphics in your pdf file!

Thank's Ioannis. There is a long way to go. But i start to understand what every body is talking about, Loook in the datasheet, 70% of the answer is there.

Continue the good work, I will try.

I see that you have the potential. From your first question to your complete working code there was an impressive progress.

By he way what you used for the graphics?

Hey
No no i have not write everything by myself, i take some examples here and there and i got help here at the forum. So i am not so smart as it looks.

Actually i use a very old program, Freehand MX. Its still available at Adobes site. Why i use it? Because i have used it for 20 years and its in my fingertips. I made the symbol library myself, if you want it just let me know.

My development kit always go with me.
My MacBook Pro
Proteus
PicBasicPro
MikroC pro for PIC
PIC-kit 2
Programmer
Developer Board CP-Pic training, buyed in Bangkok for 60 euro. se picture.

Great to have everything from Mac and PC in the same Computer.

Hi Dave,
I've used the DIV32 function alot for stuff like this. In your example I would do something
like this.
50" - 6" = 44"
44" / 1024(10bit) = 0.042968
convert this number to word constant in your program 42968
multiply a/d result by 42968
the very next line must be DIV32 statement (word var = DIV32 10000)
then add your 6" offset (+ 600)

example: (a/d result = 1023)
1023 * 42968 = 43956264 '(32bit result you can't access but DIV32 can)
res = DIV32 10000 '(res = 4395)
res = res + 600 '(res = 4995 hundreth inches or 49.95 inches)
