11:50 Arduino Uno ADC Example with default 5V vs External 2.5V Reference Voltage

This PCB uses LM4040 and LM4041 Precision Voltage References (fixed and adjustable) in a dev board configuration so resistors can be swapped for experimentation.

A 2.5v reference is used in an experiment to show how more resolution can be achieved on the Uno 10 bit ADC compared to using the default 5 volt reference.

For convenience, the PCB also has an on board boost regulator if needed for experimenting when only lower voltage power sources are available, and there are some high precision resistors and capacitors to provide a set of reference components for checking multimeters.
