9  Sensing with the Raspberry Pi Pico

As described in Section Chapter 6, the hardware platform we are using is well suited to carry out sensing tasks by interfacing with digital and/or analog sensors. In essence, the Pico W board can do basic analog signal conditioning, provide multiplexing capabilities (for 3 ADC channels), perform the analog-to-digital conversion with a 12-bit ADC, and serve as the micro-controller unit (MCU) on which to digitally process the signals. Additionally, it can transmit signals wirelessly via WiFi.
