AVR-Chat

Hi Graham,

Yeah, im thinking that thats probably the best way to go, I wasnt so
much worried about speed as that I dont yet have a lot of faith in the
compiler dealing with floating point numbers on the 8-bit processor. I
did get an excellent reply on the Atmel ARM forum from a guy that had
obviously done this before and he did provide me with what looks like
a good routine to do the scale calibration and weight calculation with
only integer math. Ill work through it tonight and report back
tomorrow if it works!

Thanks for the reply!
Cheers
