I'm Powering a breadboard with the pyboard 3.3 V and Gnd pins and reading an analog value on pin X11. The adc value read was incorrect (checked with multimeter). Using the same code I switched to pin X19 and the adc value read is correct. The difference between the adc values read on X11 and X19 is near a factor of 2 (1202 and 2169).

Question: is there something special I need to do to make X1-X8 and X11-X12 read more accurately?

Reason: I have a need for 7 adc pins for analog and there are only 4 shielded ones (X19 - X22).

What code were you using to read the ADC?

What device do you have connected to the input?

just realized I was using
adc = ADC(Pin('X11')) rather than adc = ADC(Pin('Y11'))

wasted hours on that issue.

Don't feel bad, - I've done things just as bad....

You guys aren't alone - I've just spent the best part of a day tracking down an "obscure bug" which turned out to be a pin header one pin short of the mating socket
