Hi,
I am interested in interfacing MCP3204 to monitor solar panel. Can you elaborate more on this?

Actually I need something that can be build in a short time,since my main project is about energy harvesting.
Why not just use the inbuilt ADC on the microcontroller?
please reread this again also the MCP3204 data sheetThe MCP3204 is a 4 channel SPI controlled 12 bit A2D converter IC, you require a PIC or other type of MCU in order to drive it.

It is possible to build a small interface for the MCP to connect it to the parallel port of a PC.
This is the circuit, if you are interested, I will post the Visual Basic 5 code.
Can I have the coding for Visual Basic 5?
hi,
This zip is the complete VB5 folder for the MCP3204.
Its not fully commented, so if you have a problem please ask.
The mcp3204a.exe in the zip will run, ensure that you have the free Visual Basic 5 Runtime files installed in your Widows/System folder.
The runtime files are a free web download.

Thanks.
For the op amp, other than CAL20 can I use other op amp?
hi,
Its not a CAL20, the printed text is not very clear. its a CA3240
What OPA's do you have already.?
E.
EDIT: I have edited the old drawing to make the CA3240 clear.
LM741. What is the function of the op amp? Is it to amplify the voltage?
