In this video on youtube (46:23) we show how to connect to read in an analog value with MicroPython. We also show how a sensor that is based on a changing resistance can be connected using a voltage divider: https://youtu.be/gjj5KyK2qGI | In this video on youtube (46:23) we show how to connect to read in an analog value with MicroPython.

This should divide the voltage by half as both resistors are the same - you should read a value of about 2000 (assuming 12Bit resolution with a range of 0-4096) | This should divide the voltage by half as both resistors are the same - you should read a value of about 2000 (assuming 12Bit resolution with a range of 0-4096) | ||
