Hi, the rand functions returns a pseudo random number. In the C Book from K&R you can find an example implementation which you can use. You can find other in the book "Numerical Recipes in C" and via google.
A simple way to produce true random numbers is to increase the internal counter of the function with interrupts. This works good if the reading is asynchronous to the interrupts.
