Which is why I came here, succinctly explained in detail the problem and asked for a code solution. We have now come full circle. So, does anyone have any ideas on how to make THIS shorter and more streamlined? A solution that a novice programmer could understand and put inside existing code as a function (like below). Thank you!
void reconcileAnalogPin1() {
/* This is how to get around the fact that the Analog Pins do not report back the
* proper numbers. A0 is not what comes back when you choose for example,
* analogpin1 = A0; On the Uno, A0 = Pin 14. On the Mega 2560, A0 = Pin 54. Since
* the Mega has 16 Analog pins and the Uno has 6, lets resolve that issue here: */
