    Why all this manipolation loosing valuable information contained in the 10 bits ADC, when you can store the whole 10 bits in the eeprom.

    Write 0,ADC.lowbyte
    Write 1,ADC.highbyte

    Will store

    Read 0, ADC.lowbyte
    Read 1,ADC.highbyte

    Will retrive your word.

    Cheers

    It'll also half the number of results that can be stored. Accuracy wasnt an issue, number of results was.
