the noise enters the signal in the analog-to-digital converter and is related
to the high-frequency PWM signal the Pico creates. With the transistor in
place, the Pico has to handle and output less current, which leads to less
interference.
This is a common problem in circuits mixing digital and analog sections.
Noise from digital switching enters the analog signals. I tried different
modifications to reduce the noise. Adding capacitors between ground
and the different positive voltages, while generally a good idea, gave little
improvement. What did help was to use a separate ground pin on the Pico ...
