class ADC =-- analog to digital conversion: read analog values on a pin
=======================================================================
Usage::
import pyb
adc = pyb.ADC(pin) # create an analog object from a pin
val = adc.read() # read an analog value
adc = pyb.ADCAll(resolution) # creale an ADCAll object
val = adc.read_channel(channel) # read the given channel
val = adc.read_core_temp() # read MCU temperature
val = adc.read_core_vbat() # read MCU VBAT
val = adc.read_core_vref() # read MCU VREF
Constructors
------------
.. class:: pyb.ADC(pin)
Create an ADC object associated with the given pin.
This allows you to then read analog values on that pin.
Methods
-------
.. method:: adc.read()
Read the value on the analog pin and return it. The returned value
will be between 0 and 4095.
.. method:: adc.read_timed(buf, freq)
Read analog values into the given buffer at the given frequency. Buffer
can be bytearray or array.array for example. If a buffer with 8-bit elements
is used, sample resolution will be reduced to 8 bits.
Example::
adc = pyb.ADC(pyb.Pin.board.X19) # create an ADC on pin X19
buf = bytearray(100) # create a buffer of 100 bytes
adc.read_timed(buf, 10) # read analog values into buf at 10Hz
# this will take 10 seconds to finish
for val in buf: # loop over all values
print(val) # print the value out
