Abstract :
This paper describes a serially interfaced computer data acquisition system based on the PIC16f877. It presents the interfacing and programming considerations made to maximize the performance to cost ratio. The results show that in spite of its deceptively simple hardware the system has a remarkable linearity and accuracy
