ttoyoda, the thought is that we take many many many readings while in the wait part of the main loop and only look at the max value we collect. and if we are at 1024 then we know for sure we are at or beyond the limit at some point during operations. Not that we will detect every peak and its absolute value that reach our $3.00 chip.
I see your plan on the loop. It is a good plan.
It's not the $3.00. I plan to put this in my car, integrated into the dash. It will look like it was always there, when I am done. I will put it where the seat belt light is now, maybe. I want it to be as reliable as everything else in the car. I don't ever want to have to take it out. And locate and re-discover the tools and software and cables and procedure to program a new chip.

You have done a great job designing this thing, have spent hours and hours with all the parts, and so to you it is all very easy, and I understand that. It's like me with carburetors. Hangers-on like me might be able to follow what you have done well enough to ape it, but for us it will never be as quick to do as it is for you, we will never have the amount of practice you have.
