A to D conversion...

Hey folks,

Discovered today how easy A to D conversion can be. This is going to help a
lot in designing the Data Logger I'm thinking about.
See the url below for a demo circuit and code. Click on A to D Converter.

cheers,

No animals were harmed in the transmission of this email, although the
Dog next door is living on borrowed time, let me tell you! Those of you
with an overwhelming fear of the unknown will be gratified to learn that
there is no hidden message revealed by reading this warning backwards.

    An arrow in an resistor means it is a variable resistor. Physical, it is
    normally the middle pin.

    Yes, I know about variable resistors, but I'm not sure that is the case
    here. Look at
    http://www.lennard.net.nz/electronics/ad.html
    The arrow in question appears to be connected to the A-D converter chip, but
    there is no pin identification associated with the IC. If it were meant to
    indicate a variable resistor, I would expect the arrow to pass through the
    resistor and not show an apparent physical connection to another device. To
    me, the drawing seems to indicate a standard resistor, as it doesn't
    indicate a high-low range for the resistor.

    looks like it should go to the input on the a/d but dont have a pinout for the
    chip handy to give you a pin number

    Datasheet is at http://www-s.ti.com/sc/ds/tlc548.pdf

    The base of the arrow seems to be pin 2, Analog In.

    The variable resistor's range is roughly 0-47k ohms. Datasheets pages 7-8
    will help you figure out what resistor range to use (the variable resistor
    uses the wiper to divide the pot into the pair of "fixed" resistors that is
    shown on the datasheet diagram).

    Regards,
    Daniel

    The 47k Resistor is a variable resistor. The Line with the arrow is the
    wiper.
    The line from the IC is it's Analogue input (pin 2).

    From the verbage in the descritption and the looks of the diagram, it is
    the wiper of the 47k pot connected to the input pin of the adc. Proper
    schematic icon for a pot; not really but it does get the point across
    IMHO.

    Take Care,
