Post by thread:Analog Input with a PIC16C56!?

I was just thumbing through the Parallax catalog, and something on p.20 (if you have it handy) caught my attention. This page lists the entire BASIC Stamp instruction set. Under the heading "Analog I/O" it lists the "POT" instruction, which it says "Reads a 5-50K potentiometer and scales the result." Can someone tell me how this is done, since the Stamp is really just a PIC16C56-XT/P, a resonator, and a serial EEPROM? I didn't know there was a way to read a voltage level using a C56. -mike
