Re: [AVR-Chat] how to measure voltage

2007-05-03 by dlc

There are a couple of ways and they are related.  You will need to use 
1% tolerance resistors or better.  It also helps if you use an OpAmp 
with a programmable gain - To set that gain you'll need to use precision 
resistors again.  This is the only path to success - precision 
resistors.  To get higher resolution without spending huge on .1% or 
better resistors you can consider a higher AVref voltage.
