analog in 6 and 7

Hi ,
Has anyone had any luck gettting the extra 2 analog channels working on the arduino bluettooth? I tried analogRead but no luck.
I seee two bits of solder labelled 6 and 7 that i assumed were for the extra analog in but applying Vcc to them does nothing to my reading.
Thanks
Nick

Hi

are you using Arduino 0006 or higher? Arduino 005 and lower do not support the extra A/d pins on the Atmega 168. See this thread.

Yep, im using latest arduino.

Does anyone has an idea on this?

I'm having the same problem with arduino 007 and the Arduino BT board.

hey

Massimo says they should work fine in Arduino 0007 and above, however have a read through this post just to be sure:

Hi everybody,

Just connected the Arduino BT analog in 6 and 7 working with Arduino2Max object and Arduino2Max_OCT2007.pde. I used 'Arduino 10' to edit and upload the .pde file which had to be altered to be able to read analog 6 and 7. With a little tweaking in the ArduinoSerialReader (unpacking 18 instead of 16 items from the serial object) and naming the analog ins it worked without any problems.

Succes, Hans.

Hey Hans:

that is great, why don't you post a note on the Arduino2Max page for others who want to do that?
