How do you access the ADC using microopython on a raspberry pi pico? the only answer seens to be the_adc_value- = machine.ADC 26 .read_u16

There seems to be a lot of examples they render all kinds of confusing imports and user definitions, but the only thing I've found so far is this which reads a 16 bit value that actually jumps and steps is only effectively 12 bits does anyone know a way to make itr return 12 bits instead of using math to convert 16bits to 12bits.. there seems to me some suggestion that machine.read.uv returns 12 not value. but i tried and tried last week and that just errors.. the only thing i found is the following:.. you cant even print it directly without enclosing it in the correct punctuation. which is inconsequential. since its still the wrong value. thanks for reading while True: value- = machine.ADC 26 .read_u16 printvalue

To access the ADC (Analog-to-Digital Converter) using MicroPython on a Raspberry Pi Pico, you can follow these steps:

  1. Import the necessary modules: Begin by importing the required modules for using the ADC in MicroPython. In this case, you'll need the machine module.
pythonCopy code
import machine
  1. Create an ADC object: Next, create an instance of the ADC object using the desired pin number.
pythonCopy code
adc = machine.ADC(26) In the example above, pin 26 is used as an example. You can replace it with the specific pin number to which your analog sensor is connected.
  1. Read the ADC value: To read the analog value from the ADC, you can use the read_u16() method.
pythonCopy code
adc_value = adc.read_u16() The read_u16() method returns the raw analog value as a 16-bit unsigned integer.
You can then use the adc_value variable to perform further calculations or use it as needed in your code.
It's important to note that the specific pin number and configuration may vary depending on your setup and the ADC pin you are using on the Raspberry Pi Pico. Refer to the documentation or specifications of your specific ADC module for the correct pin assignment and any additional configuration required.
Additionally, make sure you have the appropriate MicroPython firmware installed on your Raspberry Pi Pico, as it should include the necessary ADC support.

Testimonial: "I was actually just trying to find this way of doing it. I used to do it a long time ago but I had forgotten and I thought maybe somebody that I helped before could remember it."

    I was actually just trying to access that without using all those import commands. Actually I used to use this a long time ago but yet I remembered it's like this. This is the only wine you need there's no import of machine or ADC or anything else required.
    rvdc=machine.ADC(26).read_u16()
