AREF pin on MKR1010 causing problems

Hello,

I have noticed the the analog reference pin, AREF, on the mkr1010 can impact the analogread even when using the default setting of analogReference(AR_DEFAULT) called during setup.

Shouldn't the correct behavior be to ignore the voltage on the AREF pin unless specifically requesting analogReference(AR_EXTERNAL)?

Has anyone else seen this or can help?

The application I am making requires a clean analog read and it is surprisingly noisy. I am happy to share more info if needed.

Regards, JF

And "impact" means exactly?

Yes, as long as the voltage on the AREF pin is below 2.7V.

Did you check if the supply power doesn't show the same noise? What does noisy mean? I cannot find the wiring diagram in your post, did you really read the sticky post at the top of the topic?
