Alain, I had to make some changes to suit the 16F887 (it didn't like the config bits and turning off comparitors for some reason), but I get the following displayed on screen

-23tC 0.06 -28T

Followed by a scale on second line with a rocket under the - of -28 (if that makes sence)

However I still can't get any change by placing my warmed hands on the DS chip.

Is there any way to test the DS device as it doesn't seem to be doing anythig
