We just put up a neat article and some visual basic software that will solve a thermistor resistor network to a complex curve. The first time I heard about genetic algorithms was reading about it in EDN back in 1997. Kudos to Maxim’s Craig Lyon for a great article.

Hi, i download the zip file of the article, and have problem. i only run the software and this not converge to a solution. and the graph show a curve in range 1.21e+2 not in 1.21e-1 have other software version?

Ok, my fault. i found if i use "." decimal caracter the program no work. and i use "," decimal caracter the program work ok. is configuration of my computer. the software work fine. i get the curve fit. i like see the genetic parameter to in the simulation (size poblation, probabiliti mutagen, swap, crossover...)
