  1. The Intel Galileo Gen 2 board provides the following resolution for the analog to digital converter:

    1. 32 bits.

    2. 64 bits.

    3. 12 bits.

  2. The analog pins allow us to detect a maximum of:

    1. 4,096 different values, with values ranging from 0 to 4095 (inclusive).

    2. 16,384 different values, with values ranging from 0 to 16,383 (inclusive).

    3. 256 different values, with values ranging from 0 to 255 (inclusive).

  3. We can configure the number of bits we want to use as the resolution by calling the following method of an mraa.Aio instance:

    1. setADCResolution.

    2. setBit.

    3. setResolutionBits.

  4. A call to the read method for a mraa.Aio instance returns:

    1. A raw number of units based on the number of the resolution bits configured for the instance.

    2. A voltage value automatically converted from the raw number of units.

    3. A resistance value measured in Ohms (Ω).

  5. We can use analog pins to read:

    1. Resistance values.

    2. Current values.

    3. Voltage values.
