This board supports two 12-bit ADC inputs using the i.MX6UL CPU's integrated ADC. All of these inputs can sample 0-3.3 VDC intrinsically or 4-20 mA with the necessary hardware in place.
| Note: | An external resistor will need to be added in order to enable the 4-20 mA measurements. |
These ADCs are accessed through the Linux Industrial I/O Subsystem (IIO), which provides sample rates up to 6ksps across all inputs. The simplest API it offers for slow speed acquisition is via sysfs (/sys):
cat /sys/bus/iio/devices/iio:device0/in_voltage{1,9}_raw
The pin assignments and names for accessing each ADC input are:
| Schematic Name | i.MX6UL ADC Signal | CN2 Terminal Pin | IIO name |
|---|---|---|---|
| GPIO_1_ADC | ADC1_IN1 | 12 | voltage1 |
| GPIO_9_ADC | ADC1_IN9 | 91 | voltage9 |
| Note: | Each baseboards breakout implementation of these two ADC pins will differ. |
