On Pyboard Aref is derived from the main 3V3 regulator. If you want really good absolute accuracy connect a reference to another ADC input and scale your reading with the reference reading. Taking a large number or readings and averaging them will help. 4 readings should give about one more bit, 16 readings about two more bits noise free.

It is called ADC oversampling. Some tutorials/references :

Note that oversampling improves resolution rather than accuracy. It would be interesting to characterise the Pyboard ADC's to see if they have the Gaussian noise distribution required for this technique to work.

Thank you so much for your reply!
I have two more questions.
1. how do I isolate/turn off pins after use them? Let say I do
p0 = Pin(0, Pin.OUT)
p0.value(0)
how do I turn p0 off? is it Pin.off() ? What is the meaning off "Set pin to “0” output level." Is it mean isolate from outside??
https://docs.micropython.org/en/latest/ ... e.Pin.html
2. I'm using Dave Hylands frequency counter code, it works great! is very accurate! Same question, how do I turn the timer and pin off after I use it??

It depends what you mean by "off".
is the same as
- it means that the pin is internally connected to ground (i.e. current will flow into it).
I think what you might want is to make the pin float -- i.e. it looks like it's physically disconnected from the inside of the chip. This is called "high impedance" (or "hi-z") mode. The easiest way to do this is to set the pin to input mode.

See above about the pin, and you can use
.

timer.deinit() looks good.. I will try tomorrow..
Yes! I want high impedance! or isolate, set pin.in() with pin pull up to None??

more questions....
adc = ADC(Pin('X19'))
adc.read() # read value, 0-4095
How to turn off adc ?? I try dir(adc) it give me this.. "['__class__', 'read', 'read_timed', 'read_timed_multi']", looks like no way to do so?
