Hi G8RPI,G8RPI said:Hi,
To give a decent answer we need to know the accuracy and resolution you need, or if you are not sure, what are you using it for? An idea of your programming expertise and language used would be useful too.
I'm sorry to be pedantic but the reason for industrial current loop signals ranging between 4 and 20mA is not because it's hard to get a zero current. The 4mA minimum is because the remote sensor is (optionally) powered by the signalling (4-20mA) current. The the minimum was zero there would be no power to operate the sensor.

as i mentioned in the first post i am using the 8051. the mehtod that i was going to use was with pwm output and then convert to current by an external circuit. The steps that i am going to make is 0.5mA so from 0 to 10mA is 20 steps.
My question is that how would i build this external circuit if i am going to use the pwm from the uc. if not what other types of methods are used?
