Hi,
I have detected an unexpected offset when measuring values with the adc in the module huzzah32 (esp32).
For example, when trying the get the battery value:
- 3781 mV acquired in the ESP32
- 4113 mV measured with the multimeter.
I am taking 3300 mV as reference (VREF) for adc conversions. 12 bit (4095 adc steps).
Being calculaed as follows:
voltage = value * (VREF / ADC_STEPS);
The same happened when using a TMP36 sensor for acquiring temperature values.
TMP36 -> pin 39 (A3 - ADC1)
VBAT/2 -> pin 35 (A13)
Any of you have experienced anything similar?
Regards, Ramon.
Unexpected ADC offset in ESP32
Re: Unexpected ADC offset in ESP32
"The ADC should be configured before reading is taken." as per the docs, has this been done in your code ?

Re: Unexpected ADC offset in ESP32
Hi,
I am using Arduino IDE. The configuration is done out of my scope, but I am assuming full scale 12 bits and 3,3V and no attenuation.
I have tested at 3 points so as to double check:
Vadc_real: 0V -> measured: 0
Vadc_real: 1,78V (through resistor divider) -> measured: 0d1990 (1,60 V)
Vadc_real: 3,3V -> measured: 0d4095 (3,3V)
As you can see there are -180mV offset/linearity error.
Any suggestion will be welcome.
