I want to connect 5 flex sensor to nrf52840DK.
i have got values from one flex sensor by connecting to one analog pin
I need to connect to 5 analog pins and simultaneously get 5 flex sensors values

What should i add in my code, and how to get the sensor values from 5 analog pins simultaneously
Please, don't hesitate to tell anything
