Temperature using LM35 and wind direction using 3 optointerrupters with a 16F873A PIC

[gerardobe]

Hi!

First of all I'm a newbie on all this pic programming, This thread it's cos I need some help with coding on pic basic, I'm gonna make a little explanation about my project hope anyone can help me.

I gotta make a code that senses temperature using a LM35 temperature sensor, and the optointerrupters have to read the wind direction for example im gonna use 3 kind of discs colored with many positions, and each one of the sensors is gonna sense light in many positions, each one of them is gonna represent 3 different truth tables, and this ones are gonna show many wind directions has north , south , west and many others.

disk1|disk2|disk3|decimalnumber|direction
0 0 0 0 NORTHEAST
0 0 1 1 NORTH
0 1 0 2 WEST
0 1 1 3 NORTHWEST
1 0 0 4 EAST
1 0 1 5 SOUTHEAST
1 1 0 6 SOUTHWEST
1 1 1 7 SOUTH

I'm using a PIC 16F873A and a max232

This has to be send using to a computer via serial port, I'm seriously in need, i know there's experienced people around please help with this coding, or at least give me some clues where to start.

Have to say after all this im gonna send all the data to a program in VB that shows all the data taken from the sensors , im very skilled doing .net and java programming, but i never programmed pics before, i already have a pic programmer, please help!
