Can you crack this formula with a PIC ?
It's a formula to calculate water vapour pressure given a temperature in Deg C
float calculateWaterWVP(float Temp)
{
float a,tempInK,c,d,e,wvp;
tempInK = Temp + 273.15;
a = -6096.9385 * (1/tempInK);
c = -2.711193 * 0.01 * tempInK;
d = 1.673952 * 0.00001 * (tempInK * tempInK);
e = 2.433502 * (log(tempInK)/log(10)/0.434294509);
wvp = exp(a + 21.2409642 + c + d + e);
return wvp;
} */
If you can do this, you get a medal !

The PAK-I doesn't do log and exp, but the PAK-II does.
http://www.al-williams.com/awce/pak1.htm (has info on PAK-I and II).
You can also read the manuals online and see some examples in the doclib.

I've tried to do this sort of math MANY times with my weather
station, and have been mostly unsucessful. I'd highly recommend
using Al Williams' PAK module to do it.
It *is* possible to do with just the Stamp/PIC, but you'd
likely end up with an inprecise answer.

point math is easier to process. If you need an example of fixed point math
let me know.

Hi Darren,
The medal would have to be real geld to get cracking seriously on that one!
Then, the first questions would be, over what temperature range, and to
what accuracy? Is it pure water--there are big effects from salts. If you
want it only near 25'C then, linearize around 3.169 kpa. Larger range--a
table lookup with interpolation? Get out the big money to attempt to crack
the formula!
