Custom ADX

...... the arduino natively doing 10-bit A/D reads wouldn't come into play here, would it? because that happens to be 4X the resolution...... otherwise, i couldn't say why 4X.

I tried dividing by 4, multiplying by .25 and that just seems to jam up the value. It either locks at 5vdc, narrows the travel, say between 1.0-2.28vdc for instance. I know Im missing something and Im sure its something simple. How do I convert the 10 bit arduino to the 8 bit TP format in either instance. I dont want to mess with the arduino code to fix it because as it is now seems to be the only way for it to spit out semi-correct info.

Ok, so I figured it out with one line of code on the Arduino. All downhill from here.
