All still works :) I struggle to think of a way to avoid the 0xffff case. It means that if you power cycled the unit at ADC chip temp of (what the sensor thinks is) exactly -0.03125C, it would disable the ADC option. I can live with that :) --- End quote --- You can issue a few readings instead of just one, the probability that you'd get several times in a row exactly the same temperature reading - if that was actually the measured temperature - given its resolution here, looks very low. This way you won't get into this potential pitfall, which, while probably still a low probability, is higher than getting the same repeatedly. |

My code which tests for whether the analog option is present is actually looking for > +150C as meaning "not installed". |
