ADC Gain

This setup shows how to configure the ADC (AREF & GAIN) and DAC

Sketch

/* This setup shows how to configure the ADC (AREF & GAIN) and DAC
 *
 * The default setup of the Autonomo is: 
 * 1) Internal analog reference of 1.65V, half VCC (INTVCC1 = 1.65V or half VCC)
 * 2) Gain of division of  2
 * The command to get the default settings back is: "analogReference(AR_DEFAULT);"
 * 
 * Read/Write resolution:
 * To change the resolution of the analog read or write you should write: 
 *  "analogWriteResolution(10);"
 *  "analogReadResolution(12);"
 *  The maximum resolution is: 10 for writing and 12 for reading.
 * 
 * DAC:
 * The DAC is Digital to Analog. The DAC is a fix value between 0-3V3.
 * On the Autnomo, the DAC is working just on A0
 *
