One of the main strengths of microcontrollers is their ability to digitize the analog information we’re so familiar with working with, like temperature, humidity, and light intensity. We can take these analog sensor readings and convert them into digital form as signals that we can analyze and manipulate. Converting analog signals into digital signals is a hallmark for microcontroller devices, as many applications of the smart devices that utilize microcontrollers will monitor sensors ...
