super nice educational video, I still however did not get WHY we would go for register vs built in functions but ok ;-) Great point about ref voltage btw 1k/4.7k resistors - it makes sense to measure them first or apply some reference voltmeter when the project is finished - and let me tell you from my experience: breadboard vs. soldered final project is huge difference. On Raspberry Pico ADC minimum value never goes below 450 but max goes to 64k - strange
"I still however did not get WHY we would go for register vs built in functions but ok ;-)" Two reasons I suppose. 1. It's good to understand what is happening on the chip, this is somewhat hidden from you if you are using the built in functions. 2. Depending on your use case, direct register code is going to run faster/significantly faster than using the built in functions.
@@deadly_dave yeap, in general it would be true but in this case probably not much. When I read ADC I usually make few measurements and then get AVG ;-)
Great Video, very well explained! However, you missed one important trick ;) One source of the ADC Mux is the internal 1.1V bandgap reference. This allows you to measure the 1.1V internal reference against Vcc as reference and thus determining Vcc without the need of a voltage divider or additional wiring!
I really enjoy watching detailed videos like this. It fills gaps in my knowledge and makes me more confident I can do these things myself. And you have such a great way of explaining things. Thank you!
@@ELECTRONOOBS Thank you for your reply, I am fan of you Following since PID Vedio Ping pong ball Amazingly explained Best ever explanation of pid concept, After watching that vedio no one can have confusion on pid Thank you so much for putting great effort
You don't need a voltage divider. It is more accurate to use the supply as reference and then to read the internal bandgap reference. Reverse the equation to find out what reference is needed to yield 1.1V... that is your calibrated battery voltage.
Good tutorial. Maybe you missed to comment that in order to make accurate measurements using the internal reference, you need to measure it. The datasheet says 1.1V, but the exact value can vary from chip to chip, so in order to make precise measurements, one has to measure it and include the value in the code. There are many videos about the topic on YT (the guy with the swiss accent has one).
Didn't knew that the atmega328p chip had an internal temperature sensor...thanks for this informative video... Just wanted to that is it possible for the atmega to get hot while operating at the highest clock speeds?
Thanks for explaining this. So using a prescaler increases the sampling rate of the analog pins making it possible to create an audio amplifier using a nano and a dual h-bridge motor driver.
In other cases, you've noted that the use of registers can be faster than the Arduino functions -- is there a performance benefit in their use for ADCs?
Hi brother, I have a question, can we sample higher frequency periodic signals with low sampling ADCs by taking samples not from a single cycle but from multiple cycles, lets say we want a 360° waveform, so if we sample it from 360 cycle by teiggering the conversation at right time while the wave is at that phase. Then we can merge the samples from different cycles to re create the shape of the wave. This will be helpful to make a high bandwidth scope using slow Arduino. Please reply with your opinion. Thanks
Thanks for this! The inaccuracy of analog voltage measurement has been bugging me for a long time. I see that using the default Vcc as the voltage reference is garbage due to your well-explained points. So the only way to get an accurate voltage reading is to: 1 - Use the 1.1V reference 2 - Prescale your maximum expected input voltage down to a maximum of 1.1V with a resistor divider. This leads me to see that you have to use extremely high precision resistors in your voltage divider, or you're forced to do a calibration process on every unit you build. Otherwise the single fixed scaling factor you use in the software will be inaccurate in each unit due to tolerances in the resistors. How do people normally handle this? 1%? 0.1%? What is the cost differential for these vs. default 5% resistors? I've tried to use an external 4.096V reference chip so I don't lose a bunch of resolution bringing my 80V battery pack max target voltage down to under 1.1V. Am I gaining anything with that chip or should I just massively scale down the input voltage and use the 1.1V reference? Also, how does using the Bandgap reference come into this? Does every microcontroller have the same Bandgap reference and if so, what value is it and how accurate is it? Thanks!
I have seen many old boards where the manufacturer places a potentiometer on the board to manually calibrate. Another option to calibrate each board without a potentiometer is through software. Have an accurate 5v supply on your bench and run a routine to record the digital value on the board's nonvolatile memory. Your program can use that as the max value and scale accordingly.
There is a seemingly better way to read VCC - Without a voltage divider, that drains the battery and without using pins. you can Read the Voltage Reference against VCC, and calculate VCC from there somewhat backwards: long readVcc() { long result; // Read 1.1V reference against AVcc ADMUX = _BV(REFS0) | _BV(MUX3) | _BV(MUX2) | _BV(MUX1); delay(2); // Wait for Vref to settle ADCSRA |= _BV(ADSC); // Convert while (bit_is_set(ADCSRA, ADSC)); result = ADCL; result |= ADCH
Very useful, thanks. Can you talk about external reference standards that you can buy from ebay such as the AD584KH precision voltage reference modules? Do they improve on the accuracy of the internal reference provided by the Arduino?
I love this series and I really wanted to learn about the internal voltage reference, it will be extremely useful for some of my data logging applications. However, does anyone know how stable this voltage reference is compared to the 5V VCC e.g. when the arduino is powered with 12V (always the same supply adapter)? Is there a significant improvement in the stability?
Hey man, could you build a peak detector in software using this. I have a few 328pu chips. Great video series btw. I'll be back on your patreon in a few weeks
Im not understanding the sampling rate. You said that the sample rate is 16MHz divided by a division factor (one option being 2), but the max rate is 200KHz? what happens when the division factor is 2 and why does the ADC not sample at 8MHz in this situation?
Hello sir, I have made the portable soldering iron V3 . But the buttons are not working properly .May be because there was no interrupts for the push buttons. If you fix the problem that would be great...

This is cool. With a PIC micro I was once able to send the DAC output to the ADC input and get the battery voltage without using any external pins.
Please do more on microcontroller

So we could avoid shorting in vref and vcc in battery powered project.....
