Hi all,

i've been studying the PBP manual and decided to test the POT and RCTIME instructions.

The idea is to use a temperature variable resistor and check it's readings with a lcd.

The code to read and display it should be simple and i'm guessing it's something like this :

using pot instruction
.
.
.
read1:
pause 500
pot porta.1,255,r1
lcdout $fe,1,r1
pause 1000
.
.
.
and using RCTIME
.
.
.
read2:
high porta.1
pause 500
low porta.1
pause 10
RCTIME porta.1,0,r1
lcdout $fe,1,r1
pause 1000
.
.
.
Since i'm working with a 16F84 pic i do not have any analog input like other pics.

My question:

Will any of these 2 methods work to read temperature ? Or is it better to change pics and get one with analog input ?

Thanks
.
