Easy A/D converters? [TLC2543]

Happy happy!! I full-heartedly agree that the TLC looks like the
right chip for me. I'm also impressed by Tracey's site, and the
success stories previously posted on this group.
A million muppets worth of thanks. I really appreciate all of the
advice. Once I'm a basic stamp quazi-god, I'll try to give back to
the community somehow. :-)
Cheers,

right chip for me. I'm also impressed by Tracey's site, and the
success stories previously posted on this group.
