Need help with 8-bit ADC and BOE
I have a dual-axis accelerometer that I would love to use in a project but the problem is it outputs an analog voltage proportional to the angle it’s positioned. So I found the HI5714/4CB 8-Bit A/D Converter as a free sample and ordered two of them. There SOIC so I hot glued one to a small 1.5” x 1.5” piece of Lexan and carefully soldered on 3” lengths of wire wrap wire. Now I can easily solder them to two 12 pin headers and have a bread board ready SOIC ADC.·Now·the only problem is I have no idea how to program the thing to read a value. Any links or code that you might have would be most helpful. Oh yeah i have a BS1·and BS2-BOE so... and here is·the data sheet:··http://www.intersil.com/data/fn/fn3973.pdf

Personally, I think you'd be much better off using an ADC08031. They're not too fussy. They play well with Stamps, and there's plenty of documented examples of its use including sample code. They can be bought from DigiKey for $3.
