I would also take about 64 readings and do a right shift 4 places to the give you a 12 bit reading. I do this as a mater of fact for all of my A/D readings from the PIC internal A/D. I only use a 40uS. delay when changing channels. You should easily be able to captute the data at 100 Hz.
Yes Dave, you´re right! I still have to think about how the circuit will be disposed inside the rocket, calculate the pressure vents in the fuselage and etc...
Anyway, as I said, I am very noob to this so, is there any material where I can read about this 12bit reading with a 10bit AD?
