Hello!
As part of a larger project, I am reading a thermistor. It is hooked to input A4. There is a pullup resistor to 3v3. The readings are extremely jittery. It flashes back and forth over a hundred counts. This morning, I thought to look at that input with a scope, and
Lo & Behold,
There is a 3.6kHz square wave, about .7V p-p, superimposed on the thermistor voltage. I hung a 10uF capacitor off that node, and it mostly went away - although it still jitters a couple of counts.
What could be causing this? Nothing in my project works at 3.6kHz. One of the other functions of that pin? According to the Teensy 4.1 blurb, that pin is also "SDA" and is additionally capable of PWM output.
The 3v3 is perfect and stable....
Thanks in advance,
