Question about prop-1 coding

[Clad In Shadows]

I have a code that was written for Arduino and was wondering if that code could be used for the prop-1 controller also ?
I put the code in attachment for you guys to check .
Thanks.

But, your C code will not work since the Prop-1 (Basic Stamp 1) is coded in PBasic. We can take the order of operations from the C code and coded it to work for the Prop-1.

From what I noticed that the I/O count will work on  the Prop-1, since the Prop-1 only has 8 and you are only using 6. 

One thing to noticed in the C code for the Arduino, you are showing floating point math. The Prop-1 (Basic Stamp 1) isn't able to do this type of math. The Basic Stamp 1 is only able to do whole numbers.

Another, thing that I noticed was that you are wanting to look at analog sensors. This can be done by connecting your sensor to the header pins using a 0.1 cap to ground.

William, correct me if I am wrong but I don't think the prop-1 can do Analog to Digital conversions without and additional chip. I could be wrong.

The Arduino is built with an Atmel processor that came out several years after the PIC that is used on the Prop-1 -- you won't be able to port many Arduino projects back to the Prop-1. The Amtel chip used includes peripherals/features not on the BS1's PIC (e.g., UART, ADC, interrupts); use of these features limits what would be compatible on a Prop-1.

POT is a form of analog-to-digital conversion, but is not suitable for all sensors.

Thanks for the replies.
As you can see , I don't know anything about code .
I just happen to have a couple of prop-1 controllers that I'm not using at the moment and thought it would be worth asking .

Thanks again.
