    Alain,
    The two PICs are on seperate circuit boards, each with its own 5V. switching regulator, and there is a common ground between the boards. I'm a little unclear as to what you mean by the protection diodes. What type of diode and where should they be placed?
    Thanks,
    Pete

    These are INTERNAL Pic protection diodes ... If supply voltage of the 2 Pics were differents, that could create problems, so we must not forget them in such situations !!!

    One more point, is your sensor connected to ground on one of its sides ???

    Why insist on using 32 Bits when you're not even able to deal with the first 8 ones ??? ehhhhhh ...

    IF there is the word "Problem" in your question ...
    certainly the answer is " RTFM " or " RTFDataSheet " !!!

    Alain,
    OK, my face is sufficiently red! I forgot to take my smart pill this morning. As I mentioned, I will try the single resistor and will let you know the results.
