/* This sketch easily and quickly finds the right ADC correction values for a particular Arduino ZERO board. The correction values that are found are only valid for the board where the sketch is executed. This example code is in the public domain. Written 6 May 2015 by Claudio Indellicati */ /* How to use this sketch 1) Remove any connection cable, shield or jumper from your Arduino ZERO 2) Connect pin A1 to the nearest GND pin using the shortest jumper possible 3) Connect pin A2 to the 3.3V pin using the shortest jumper possible 4) Connect the Arduino ZERO to your PC using a USB cable plugged in the USB programming port of the board 5) Upload this sketch and leave the board powered on for at least one minute 6) Open the Serial Monitor and press the reset button on the Arduino ZERO 7) At the and of the procedure you can find logged - the offset and gain values for the board where the sketch has been just executed - the code to copy/paste in sketches using this library */ #include "SAMD_AnalogCorrection.h" #define ADC_GND_PIN A1 #define ADC_3V3_PIN A2 #define ADC_READS_SHIFT 8 #define ADC_READS_COUNT (1 << ADC_READS_SHIFT) #define ADC_MIN_GAIN 0x0400 #define ADC_UNITY_GAIN 0x0800 #define ADC_MAX_GAIN (0x1000 - 1) #define ADC_RESOLUTION_BITS 12 // do not change.
