adc using sdk example didn't give the right value

Hello, I try to run the sdk example for adc, i set an input voltage in varying from 0 to 4.38 V in the pin 4 (AIN2), but the returned value didn't corresponds to the desired value, and also did'nt vary when I vary the input voltage. I use sdk version 12.1.0, my toolchain is gcc 4.9.3 . There is the main code :

Thank in advance for the help !

  • Hi,

    You say you "set an input voltage in varying from 0 to 4.38 V in the pin 4 (AIN2)", but in your code you initialize the channel with nrf_drv_saadc_gpio_to_ain(2). The SAADC channel will then be on GPIO pin 2 (AIN0). If you want to use AIN2 (pin 4), you should initialize the channel using nrf_drv_saadc_gpio_to_ain(4). You can also use the defines NRF_SAADC_INPUT_AIN0 to NRF_SAADC_INPUT_AIN7 directly.

    Best regards,

    Jørgen
