[Tinyos-help] MicaZ ADC resolution for Temp Sensing

[Michael Collett]

Hi,

I'm carrying out some distributed temperature sensing using some MicaZs and TinyOS 1.15. I want to know if there is a way of having a higher resolution on the ADC sampling (by possibly using larger variables, or restricting the dynamic range). The problem is that after conversion, I only get a resolution of 0.2 Celsius from the thermistors.

Does anyone know how I could improve this?

Thanks, Mike
