Reply To: [MAXI Automation] Analog IN and internal 5V supply deviation

[Friedl_AP]

Dear Jarda!

I’ve now tried the following:

1. Switched ADC to external reference as first command of setup()
2. After loading the code I switched on a lab supply (4.500 V) connected to GND/VREF on X2
3. AI12 is driven by another lab supply with 4.500 V (GND=screw terminal of Controllino, measured versus GND of Controllino)
4. ADC value: 602 (expected (1024/2-1)=511)
5. reduce VREF till ADC value gives 1023
6. VREF measured: 2.653 V (expected 4.500V/2 = 2.25V)

The internal reference is off and connecting an external reference does not really work either.

Code:

#include <Controllino.h>
