Has anyone worked with AD7490, 16-channel 12bit AtoD converter and
BasicX? It's got SPI interface so it must be possible to use with
BasicX, correct?
The whole reason why this even came up is my need for more than 8
channel A/D that are built-in on BasicX. I need a total of 16
channels and in the previous project I ended up using 2 BasicXs and
that wasn't the best solution. Ideally having all 16 channel on the
same chip would work the best.
Any suggestions would be very helpful. Thanks, Patrick.

i've used many SPI ic's with the BasicX and they all work 100%. The
BasicX has a hardware SPI port, so it's very easy to make it work with any
SPI ic.
Go ahead and buy one. Try it and if you have problems, re-post and i will send you some code....

Yup... It works. I've got one running in a test setup we're using to
test
phototube bases.
You might be able to score a couple of samples if you look on the Analog
Devices site.

I used A/D converteres from maxxim because they offer free samples that they
send to your place, they have a phone line in case of any doubts (this works
very well! I used it a couple of times) and their manuals are very straight and
simple. SPI protocol is also very straightforward to use

It just so happens that i'm using 16 channels in the BX24 through a
multiplexer 4052 but you could just as easily use the 4051
Also i'm using the 74hc595 to control sensor emitters and the
multiplexer at the same time on my little robot
Does this help?

Multiplexer is a great idea! I haven't even explored this option but
it could be another way to solve my problem.

Do you have a sample code I can start with? I'd help me out a lot.

Hello,
This is just an update on my project. I went with the multiplex
idea. I used two of the 4051 and hook analog pins to each of them. I
also hooked 3 I/O pins to the address pins on both 4051 chips. It
works very well at getting 16 different outputs. I'll have to explore
AD7490 later since I think it'll work well too. Thanks for everyone's
suggestions.
