I found the Feather pinout in relation to the Nordic documentation confusing, so wrote this for the nRF52 SDK which may help

(Edit: oops thought you were using Feather 840, not DK840)

If you are using NCS, you would have to use Zephyr's devicetree overlay to set the pin number. Here's one that I have tested myself

/ {
	zephyr,user {
		io-channels = <&adc 0>;
	};
};

Here, you can use <&adc 0>; replacing 0 with whatever pin number you want.

In your code file, you can use these defines

#define ADC_CHANNEL          DT_IO_CHANNELS_INPUT_BY_IDX(DT_PATH(zephyr_user), 0)
#define ADC_NODE		     DT_PHANDLE(DT_PATH(zephyr_user), io_channels)
#define ADC_NUM_CHANNELS	 DT_PROP_LEN(DT_PATH(zephyr_user), io_channels)

You can use the ADC example provided in NCS for the rest, as I used the same code on my side.

Hope this helps 🙂

Hi,

Can you provide more details on what is not working, and how you test the channels?

I had a quick look at your workspace, but it is not that easy to find your ADC initialization and configuration in the code. Can you please post the relevant code here?

Note that the configuration in Zephyr is relating to the AIN0-AIN7 pins, and not the A0-A5 Arduino markings on the DK. You can find the mappings from AIN to GPIO pin number in Pin assignments documentation.

Best regards,
Jørgen
