In the PDF "B0010 - ARC32 Robotics and Servo Controller"
P39 (AUX1 pin6) is stated to be a analog/digital pin
but i cant get any analog input from it


or


Have i misunderstood something ?

it works when i do

Yes i have

I can't use ADIN on pin 35
(with by the way are the right pin to read analog value fron AUX1 pin 6)
but HSERVOSTATE can be used

ADIN can only be used on "direct analog pins" ie 8-15 and 24-31

Actually I think you need to use HServoStat for all of them, unless you never use any HSERVO on the Arc32.

Than maybe you can do adin on pins P39, 56, 57, 58, these 4 pins are directly hooked up to Analog input pins. For pins 8-15, 24-31 they are connected part time to pin AtoD pins through the Mux chips so for sure you need HServoStat for them. And if you do any Hservo type stuff on your arc32, probably trying to do any ADIN on the first 4 pins will probably interfere with the HservoStat code...

P.S. - I had to figure ot some of this with my C library code, which I still need to implement this part of it (http://www.lynxmotion.net/viewtopic.php ... 559#p65925)

I'll try to use ADIN on some of the other ports, and rapport here as soon as i have done it

To use the ADIN command on any of the analog pins of the ARC32 you must have the HSERVO backend running. It doesn't have to be actively driving any servos but it must be running.

Add this to the beginning of your program

hservo [p0\-31000]

This will force the compiler to include the hservo backend when compiling. If you have no hservo command in your program the hservo backend is not included and the software that controls the onboard muxes will not be running, hence you will have no access to the analog pins.
