Actually, now I think about it, maybe I'm just complaining too much. The AD7792 has all sorts of settings that let you change the gain, update rate, bias currents and so on that I don't really need to touch, but I just "had to" mess with them because they were there to be messed with! That's what made the code really long. I think if I just left everything in default, it'll be just much simpler. What I was hoping for is a way to get data with something as simple as analogRead(), without adding a large amount of code. Obviously, that's not realistic with external components, and I'm asking for too much. It's a really good quality chip though, almost no noise at 16bit with a gain of 128.
