[Ovmsdev] 12V A/D conversion

[Mark Webb-Johnson]

Michael,

I've looked, but can't find the original reference code I used. But, it does seem similar to:

http://extremeelectronics.co.in/microchip-pic-tutorials/using-analog-to-digital-converter-–-pic-microcontroller-tutorial/

I think that is either my reference, or some variant of it.

Regards, Mark.
