Multichannel use of ADC in NRF51822

I want to measure voltages at all 8 channels but when I am enabling all channels its sending the values once only and after that its not sending anything, my requirement is i don't want to use any handler,i am using polling method simultaneously to sample ADC,please suggest if any code available or any support message for the same.

  • Please verify that you are using the correct pins on the Waveshare board. Could you share with me the pinout of the waveshare board you are using, and how you are testing it?

    i am connecting to AN0 pin and AN1 pin

    I assume you then have changed the code I provided earlier, to reflect this?
    Please share with me the code you are currently running.

    10 bit ADC which can give o/p as 2^10 i.e. upto 1024 certainly with or without i/p its giving same value, there is no formula i am using right now i just want some o/p but its giving the o/p as mentioned above queries.

    I do not know what you mean by "o/p", but I agree that reading values in the 500 range using the 10-bit ADC configuration sounds strange.

  • Output (O/p) is nothing but value i am getting after reading ADC, I just want ADC to give me some values according to my input to AN0 or AN1 pin still i am not getting any values.Please suggest me if any other ways if available to read multichannel ADC values or tell me if it is hardware restriction

    You are not giving me a lot to work with here, since you are not answering my questions.
    Please, take a look at what I asked about in my previous reply, and answer the questions I wrote you.
    I require more information in order to help you resolve this issue.

    I assure you there are no hardware restrictions on reading multiple channels of the ADC. Do not worry, the issue here is not hardware restrictions.

  • So here is my code for sampling 2 ADC channels and just printing the values of ADC, i just want ADC to give me values in printf statement according to the i/p like if i am giving  some voltages over this maybe between 1.0V to 3.3v so i should get the values according to voltage i.e.in between 0 - 1024 , but the values  i am getting are not changing i.e with or without input i am getting same values.
