handling Large Numbers

[Peter1960]

Hi Daryl,
Must have been your telepathy, as I did precicly that, ie

div32 first THEN subtract

ADCIN 7,y

Pause 100 ' adc settling

x1 = y

y = y*385

y = div32 1000

y = y - 5088

y1=y1+y ' Loop to average results

If x = 9 then goto outtwo

x=x+1

Pause 100

Goto Ambient

Outtwo: Debug "A raw= ",#x1,$0D,$0A

y=y1/1000

Y1= y1//1000

Y1 = Y1/100

Debug "A calc= ",#y,".",#y1,$0D,$0A

x=0
y=0
y1=0

now results are JUST Fine !!!!
thanks Steve and Daryll
