Reading Analog Inputs | Raspberry Pi Pico Workshop: Chapter 2.6

🔗 *The full course* : _https://core-electronics.com.au/courses/raspberry-pi-pico-workshop/_

In this video, we will learn how to read *analog inputs* on the *Pico*. We will start by diving into an example where we read the voltage set by a *potentiometer* and then cover some important information about the *Analog to Digital Converter* (ADC) that lives on the Pico.
