A fun math problem

[Tom Gonser]

Now I get it!

Thanks folks for helping me see the options here. Since the number of feet between 0 and 30,000 would require me to store 30,000 locations, this does not seem feasable on a PIC.

I now understand how it would work however, and options might be to store 3000 locations and increment every 10, etc. However, for this application I think I will chalk it up to 'not in scope'..

Thanks,

Tom

Not quite yet.

You would be storing them according to millibars not feet.

With a range of 600.0 to 1100.0 there are 5000 locations. Each value uses 2 bytes' for a total of 10,000 bytes.

If the range is 2 decimals 600.00 to 1100.00 there are 50,000 locations that would require 100kbytes.

Definately "Within Scope".

Don't give up yet.

Hi Tom,

Ihelped a guy named Steve Turner once, he had the same problem. Since he made a pretty good job of explaining his project on his site, i will not do it again. Just follow this link .....
