Hi,
I want to be able to measure the voltage of a 12v battery and display the voltage onto a 16x2 LCD screen. I was originally going to use an Arduino Nano, however with the new release of the Pi Pico with analogue inputs, I was wondering if I could use that instead. unfortunately, I have been unable to find the maximum input voltage on the Pico's analogue pins. So my question is, what is the maximum rated input voltage on the input analogue pins?
Thanks

Page 625 of the RP2040 datasheet -
ADC Input Voltage Range : 0V min, ADC_AVDD max
Page 626 -
ADC_AVDD : 1.62V min, 3.3V typ, 3.63V max
Page 174 -
ADC_AVDD supplies the chip’s Analogue to Digital Converter (ADC). It can be powered at a nominal voltage between 1.8V and 3.3V, but the performance of the ADC will be compromised at voltages below 2.97V. To reduce the number of external power supplies, ADC_AVDD can use from the same power source as the digital IO supply (IOVDD) - The voltage on the ADC analogue inputs must not exceed IOVDD

Re: Raspberry pi Pico voltmeter
Battery voltage monitoring will no doubt be a common application. I'm giving the pico a shot as well to measure my raw drone battery voltage and pipe it through the UART port. There's a nice github write up for the regular pi here for battery management:

But seems like using a voltage divider in the 10k range is the simplest approach. But yeah, standard range for ADC seems to be 0-3.3v. Just leave some room since a charging 12v lead acid can approach 15v.
