    hi guys!

    1.) Could somebody tell me how to calculate below mentioned formula in terms of T

    R = 10K Exp(3435( (1/(273+T) ) - 1/298)

    2.) I read A/D data from a port i get the data

    for example 1110111000 after A/D conversion

    Now i know that the above is equivalent to 939.6 in decimal.

    Use math to solve the problem. I suggest to solve the program by hand the put it to the computer.

    Here is a place to start.
    Code:
    #include <stdlib.h>
    #include <stdio.h>
    #include <math.h>
    
    double formula(double T)
    {
       return 10000.0 * exp(3435.0 * ( (1.0 / (273.0 + T)) - 1.0 / 298.0) );
    }
    
    int main(void)
    {
       const char data[] = "1110111000";
       double value = strtoul(data, NULL, 2);
       printf("formula(%f) = %f\n", value, formula(value));
       return 0;
    }
    
    /* my output
    formula(952.000000) = 1.628365
    */
    How 1110111000 becomes 939.6 I'm not sure. I think you need to provide more information for better advice.
