This Forum is Dedicated For all The Object Oriented PIC Lovers .......... The concept behind OOPic is straight forward. Use preprogrammed multitasking Objects from a library of highly optimized Objects to do all the work of interacting with the hardware. Then write small scripts in Basic, C, or Java syntax styles to control the Objects. During operation, the Objects run continuously and simultaneously in the background while the scripts run in the foreground telling the objects what to do.

[oopic] Oopic and the LM335 Temperature Sensor

Guys,

I am having a bit of trouble interfacing an LM335 to the Ooopic ADC
lines and wondered if someone has already been here and got a circuit
which works.

I cant seem to get a reliable reading or a precise enough measurement.
Even if I try to use the extvref line with a voltage as low as 4 volts
(which deosnt seem to make a difference) - I just cant seem to get a
correct reading. It deosnt help that the oopic cant do floating point
math.

Deos anyone have a suitable circuit that would allow me to read up to
5 lm335 temp chips but with some sort of op amp subtractor, say, to
remove 2 volts so I can more or less read the true temperature
directly, or at least make a eeprom lookup table to get the correct
values?

Any help, thought appreciated.

I have tried both firmware Version 1 and 2.2+ on Oopic 2's.

Cheers,
dicky
