Note: The delay previously mentioned is subtracted from 200 milliseconds and the remainder is 
used for an additional delay. This makes the total delay exactly 200 milliseconds.

Output Analog DC Telemetry Signal 

-

 

At the same timing interval as the radio outputs, an Analog DC (ADC) telemetry signal will be 
updated.   The conversion formula from the voltage output is:  

-

 

 

T = V

o

/0.01 - 40.0            (T is in degrees C). 

Voltage 

Range 0 – 1.6 V 

 

-

 

An EEPROM switch determines whether the ADC telemetry signal is used. If is not set, the DAC 
is left asleep.  The unit either does radio transmit and ADC, or just one output.  

-

 

(Whichever combination is set by the two EEPROM variables: DAC_OUTPUT and 
RADIO_OUTPUT). 

7.

 

Repeat sequence 

-

 

Code jumps back to “Read Temperature” above.  After the data is taken, formatted, and 
transmitted.
