I'm looking for a way to make my own ADC. Do you have any ideas, cause here's mine:
A PIC with an 8-bit DAC connected to op-amp starts at zero and increments one by one, when voltage created by PIC is equal to voltage being monitored, the op-amp will go high into one of the PIC pins and signal it to stop its count up and whatever the 8-bit status of the port is, will be the value corresponding to the input voltage.
Well, that's my idea at least,
