Lesson 9/31: Reading Voltage Using Arduino, Potentiometer AnalogRead SunFounder Kit | Robojax

In this lesson, we will learn how to measure DC voltage using the AnalogRead feature of Arduino. We will begin by clarifying the distinction between analog and digital signals. Then, we will explore the concept of Analog-to-Digital Converters (ADCs), specifically focusing on their 10-bit and 12-bit resolutions. Following this, the variable resistor, or potentiometer, will be explained in detail, and its resistance will be measured using a multimeter for practical understanding. We will then proceed to read the potentiometer's output voltage using a basic method, and subsequently, explore four additional methods that involve code to read and display the proper voltage values, rather than the raw 0-1023 analog readings.
