Adding ADC to Microcontrollers without ADC
Scott @ swharden.com show us how to interface an analog signal to a microcontroller that doesn't have an ADC. I recently had the need to carefully measure a voltage with a microcontroller which lacks an analog-to-digital converter (ADC), and I hacked together a quick and dirty method...
