      Hello everyone. I am trying to use LDR sensor with Lopy but i am facing some issues. First of all when i am using the sensor with my arduino a 10kΩ resistor and power supply 3.3V, it works well.
      When i use it with my Lopy it always send me back the value 4095. (supply=3.3V, Pin=P16)
      I tried if i am using wrong pin but when i use the tmp36 sensor it works well.
      Any thoughts?

        think about people first, then computers

          @kots To extend the hint of @livius a little bit: for a 3.3v range you must use ADC.ATTN_11DB.
