Re: Gertboard Analog Input

My test suite for A/D D/A compiled without errors on the 3B; but the atod.c program hangs forever in read_adc(chan) The program prompts for the channel, sets up spi, gpio, etc and then starts the read loop() which fails immediately with the hang in read_adc(chan). I tried both GPIO08 and GPIO07 (rec...

Re: Gertboard Analog Input

Also, you do have the manual, for the Gertboard, yes? You may find it more useful, and more fun, to program the Atmel Atmega328P AVR on the Gertboard to get your analog readings. The 328P can pass the values back on serial. The downside is that there is some minimal setup that has to be done from Go...

Thanks for your answer
It can't be used as a wired router, because it only has one NIC.
