How many bits is your a/d and what is the a/d reading with no weight on the
scale?

=========================

Hello,
In my weigh scale the BS2 gets reading from A/D and display it using
MAX7219.
I want to display the reading in step of "5" for example so that the
display is 200 ,205 or 210....gram and not in between.
Any help would be appreciated.

Thank You
Mohamed Refky

You could divide your AD output by 5, then multiply it by 5. This would give
you an integer divisible only by 5, since the division process would discard
and "remainder".

Correction: "any remainder".
