Hello Bruce,
I believe the parallax weekend special is for the "assembled" version of
the OEM BSII?
I wasn't aware they sold the units assembled?
This would be the ideal product for the first time user, particularily
because if something is damaged, it can easily be replaced. Pretty good
price also,
Hi Tracy -
The best I could get from the LTC1298 was a code of 4092 counts when ch1,2
was = to supply/ref. I've been using more of the MAX144 2 channel A to D
converters(12 bit) recently, it has an internal oscillator to drive the
conversion clock to avoid the drooping of the sample and hold capacitor.
