incorporate microcontrollers, single board computers, and external sensors into our projects. This often requires that we interface our digital circuitry to the analog world. But do you really know what’s going on under the hood of that ADC you’re using? In this video, I cover the basics of using an ADC and focus on the successive approximation register ADC. With that knowledge, we put together a DIY temperature probe using an analog temperature sensor, custom enclosure and a novel method of turning the unit on and off. </span></p><p style="margin:0;padding:0px;">&nbsp;</p><p style="margin:0;padding:0px;">&nbsp;</p><h2><span style="color:#3334ca;">Bill of Materials</span></h2><p style="margin:0;padding:0px;">&nbsp;</p><table border="1" class="jiveBorder mce-item-table" style="border:1px solid #C6C6C6;"><thead><tr><th style="border:1px solid black;border:1px solid #C6C6C6;padding:6px;color:#505050;background-color:#f2f2f2;text-align:left;">Product Name</th><th style="border:1px solid black;border:1px solid #C6C6C6;padding:6px;color:#505050;background-color:#f2f2f2;text-align:left;">Manufacturer</th><th style="border:1px solid black;border:1px solid #C6C6C6;padding:6px;color:#505050;background-color:#f2f2f2;text-align:left;">Quantity</th><th style="border:1px solid black;border:1px solid #C6C6C6;padding:6px;color:#505050;background-color:#f2f2f2;text-align:left;"><span><span class="e14-init-shown e14-product-link-buynow" id="addProduct-OC6vKTFq-linked" style="white-space:nowrap;"><a class="jive-link-product-addtolist" href="https://www.element14.com/community/view-product.jspa?fsku=3105954~1,2917860~1,2887155~9,1469748~1,3013396~1,1301713~1,1332166~1&amp;nsku=03AH0173~1,71AC2997~1,59AC6946~9,61M5335~1,82AC9297~1,10R5938~1,16M5162~1&amp;COM=noscript" target="_blank"><span class="pf-widget-map pf-productlink-cart-icon"></span></a><a class="jive-link-product pf-embedded-product-link" href="https://www.element14.com/community/view-product.jspa?fsku=3105954~1,2917860~1,2887155~9,1469748~1,3013396~1,1301713~1,1332166~1&amp;nsku=03AH0173~1,71AC2997~1,59AC6946~9,61M5335~1,82AC9297~1,10R5938~1,16M5162~1&amp;COM=noscript" target="_blank">Buy Kit</a></span><span class="e14-init-hidden" id="addProduct-OC6vKTFq-unlinked">Buy Kit</span></span></th></tr></thead><tbody><tr><td style="border:1px solid black;border:1px solid #C6C6C6;padding:6px;">Silicon Labs Busy Bee 8-bit MCU</td><td style="border:1px solid black;border:1px solid #C6C6C6;padding:6px;">EFM8BB10F2G-A-QFN20R</td><td style="border:1px solid black;border:1px solid #C6C6C6;padding:6px;">1</td><td style="border:1px solid black;border:1px solid #C6C6C6;padding:6px;"><span><span class="e14-init-shown e14-product-link-buynow" id="addProduct-vQexTnur-linked" style="white-space:nowrap;"><a class="jive-link-product-addtolist" href="https://www.element14.com/community/view-product.jspa?fsku=3105954~1&amp;nsku=03AH0173~1&amp;COM=noscript" target="_blank"><span class="pf-widget-map pf-productlink-cart-icon"></span></a><a class="jive-link-product pf-embedded-product-link" href="https://www.element14.com/community/view-product.jspa?fsku=3105954~1&amp;nsku=03AH0173~1&amp;COM=noscript" target="_blank">Buy Now</a></span><span class="e14-init-hidden" id="addProduct-vQexTnur-unlinked">Buy Now</span></span></td></tr><tr><td style="border:1px solid black;border:1px solid #C6C6C6;padding:6px;">RED LED -
