1.AnalogReadSerial

This is an example of the AnalogMultiplex class. It prints the values of all 16 inputs of a multiplexers to the serial monitor.

Boards: 🛈

Connections

• A0: CD74HC4067 signal pin ("common input/output")
• 3: CD74HC4067 address pin S0
• 4: CD74HC4067 address pin S1
• 5: CD74HC4067 address pin S2
• 6: CD74HC4067 address pin S3

Optionally you can connect the enable pin as well, this is useful if you want to use multiple multiplexers with the same address lines and the same analog input. Otherwise, just connect the enable pin to ground.

If you are using a 3-bit multiplexer, like the CD74HC4051, you can uncomment the code specific to this multiplexer, and use only three address pins.

Behavior

Connect some potentiometers or other analog sensors to the 16 inputs of the multiplexer, and open the serial monitor (CTRL+SHIFT+M) or the serial plotter (CTRL+SHIFT+L). You should see all 16 signals printed or plotted.
