Raspberry pi PICO ADC reading

Post by fransdiv » Sat Apr 23, 2022 7:35 pm

Why not get zero when taking ADC readings on Raspberry Pi Pico? Even though I ground the ADC pin, the analog reading always fluctuates between 10 to 20. How can analog reading be reduced to zero?

Choose "Understanding Data Converters" - Texas Instruments and go to Figure 3 and offset error.
