I'm new to this so the answer may be obvious to some, but, is there a better way to do this.

void loop(){
  if firstTime do 
    analogReference(DEFAULT); 
    Set other parameters
    XXXX
    XXXX
   firstTime=False;
else
   do program
}

That's what the setup() function definition is for; you put all of your setup/init code there, it is only executed once - see:

Thanks for the quick reply.

I did try that with analogReference(DEFAULT) and had a compilation fault, but, thinking about it now, I think I had an spelling mistake in the parameter I specified.

Thanks Wallace
