Reading values from a potentiometer using nRF52

[Tormod123]

Im quite new to development with the DK so bare with me.

Currently I am able to read digital values (0 and 1) from the potentiometer using pin P0.03.

I am using the function: nrf_gpio_pin_read(POTMETER_PIN)

How do I go about getting the analog values instead ( 0 - 1024 etc.)?

Hi,

Did you have a look at SAADC example? It is a good starting point for ADC.

Hi,

I did have a look at the SAADC example and I was expecting that it was a good example for me. 

What I need to do now however is to merge the ble peripheral example ble_app_uart with the SAADC example.

Do you have a tips for how to best merge these two examples? I would imagine all the code from SAADC would need to get vowven into the uart example and maybe some config files would need modification?

That's basically it. 

Copy the configs, includes, and code.

Ok thank you!

Dont I however need to worry about duplicate code when I code the config code over to the ble uart config file?

[haakonsh]

Don't duplicate the configs, it's a bad idea.
