According to manual2, adcsetup-page, there IS a way to use external Vref for ADC.
As a new user of Picaxe, I need some feedback from the more experienced users...
Have I understood correctly: If i put a resistor divider (10k-10k) to Vref-input, I get full adc-reading at 2,5V?
This would help expanding resolution ,and one could get rid of op-amp on input...
I have a sensor, which gives out 2,5V at reading 0 (it measure negative values too, but I don't need them). I only use the output range of 2,5V to 3V (2mV resolution). I have since used op-amp to "expand" the 2,5-3V area... (edit: sensor gives out max. Vcc ,and uses the same Vcc with Picaxe = (well)regulated 5V)
Has anyone ideas, if adc resolution can be changed, what kind of voltage dividers (for Vref AND adc input) should be used to measure 2,5V-3V with 2mV resolution AND get rid of the op-amp (which gives disturbance...)
