So, I only want extra space for calibrating, the actually program will be much more simple.

I recently did the same thing. However, I went about it a different way. I printf outputted data to the TTL RS232 port and captured it in a PC. After the test, the data file was imported into Excel, massaged and I generated a lookup table which was included into the next MPlab project build.

Permanent changes to my code were a few lines of code which are now commented out (pending the next time I need this test done).

Free your mind and other portions of your anatomy will follow...
