Look at RCTIME, POT, and the ADCIN commands.
Although I have written major apps using GWBasic back in the DOS days, I'm still a total newcomer to PICBasic. The PBP manual is required in-bed reading at this time (Wife bitches like a drain!!!!) and I'm still busy absorbing the info.
My gut feeling after reading up on the 3 commands mentioned is that the range that will be able to be handled is not wide enough to cover from 100ohm to 10K (in my opinion the range things fall into for "normal" projects without having "extra components" to the PIC) measurement range limits.
After all, the PIC range is a general solution that has tremendous versatility but is not able to be all things to all men or women in Melanie's case.
Would someone who has the experience and knowledge at thier fingertips care to comment on whether a PIC's RCTIME, POT or ADCIN commands would be able to do the job in the 100ohm to 10K range?
