Hi,

I need to interface an ADXL1002 analog accelerometer with an analog input from SWAN board. Then I need to sample the analog value at least at 6KHz. What is your recommendation on how to do it?

Hi @iarakis, thank you for reaching out. That’s a great question. The ADC will indeed need to be configured to sample at the appropriate rate. To assist you further, could you please specify which programming language or framework you intend to use? (Arduino, MicroPython, STM32 Cube Programmer, etc.)

Sorry to jump directly in this discussions but I have a related question.  
I have notecarrier-AF (I know it is old) and I want to use the analog pins to read the sensor values.

Could anyone point to API requests for reading this analog pins?

Sorry for late reply, Arduino.
