class ADC – Analog to Digital Conversion

Quick Usage Example

import machine

adc = machine.ADC()             # create an ADC object
apin = adc.channel(pin='P16')   # create an analog pin on P16
val = apin()                    # read an analog value

Constructors

Create an ADC object; associate a channel with a pin. For more info check the hardware section.

Methods

Enable the ADC block. This method is automatically called on object creation.

• Bits can take values between 9 and 12 and selects the number of bits of resolution of the ADC block.

Disable the ADC block.

Create an analog pin.

• pin is a keyword-only string argument. Valid pins are P13 to P20.
• attn is the attenuation level. The supported values are: ADC.ATTN_0DB ADC.ATTN_2_5DB ADC.ATTN_6DB ADC.ATTN_11DB

Returns an instance of ADCChannel. Example:

# enable an ADC channel on P16
apin = adc.channel(pin='P16')

Constants

ADC channel attenuation values

class ADCChannel

Read analog values from internal/external sources. ADC channels can be connected to internal points of the MCU or to GPIO pins. ADC channels are created using the ADC.channel method.

Methods

Fast method to read the channel value.

Read the channel value.

(Re)init and enable the ADC channel. This method is automatically called on object creation.

Disable the ADC channel.
