### Examples

#### Raspberry Pi Pico - Micropython

 ```
from machine import ADC, Pin
import time

pot = ADC(Pin(26))  # Create an ADC object on pin 26 (ADC0)

while True:
    reading = pot.read_u16()  # Read the value from the sensor
    print("Potentiometer reading:", reading)
    time.sleep_ms(500)  # Wait for half a second before reading again

```
