Reading LM34's through a TLC2543cn

I'm working on a project that requires reading several temperatures and then running some calculations on thoes temperatures... then displaying parts of that information on an LCD.

Since i'm totally new to the propeller, i've spent some time learning some spin, but mostely i've been playing around with snippets of code and figuring out how to make my LCD work... i can now make it display most whatever i want it to, so...

how do i get these 2 to talk to each other.. i looked in the obj xchange, and found one similarly named thing, but i tried it and it didnt work for me... also, i'm not entirely sure just how to wire the ADC to my prop proto usb board...or, which pins of the prop to go to...

Any assistance would be much appreceiated...

    Hi Project5k,

    it's very unusual that you don't get help here in the forum. But mybe your question is to special and for such special cases you should provide as much info as possible. For example the name of the object you tried and a link to the datasheet of the TLC2543CN. This increases the chance that also people who don't have experience with this special setup have a quick look into the code/datasheet.

    I searched for the datasheet. Connecting the A/D converter to the propeller is easy. You simply connect /CS, IN, OUT, CLK and the pin that shows you that the conversion is done (already forgot the name ;o) with the propeller pins.
    Maybe the driver you found only needs little changes, then you have 2 possibilities:
    1. connect the A/D converter to the pins as described in this driver
    2. connect the converter to any free pins and change the code
