ANALOG INPUT range is 0.00 - 1.00

[nkrkv]

ARDUINO sensors and ADC inputs produce a 0-1023 range of numbers.
XOD is not so.

This is by-design. The context-free range from 0.0 to 1.0 seems like a more natural choice. In Arduino you have to map between 0-1023 (0-4095 on some boards) and 0-255 quite often, and the ranges themselves could look quite odd if you’re not familiar with bits and bytes.

0-1 range should make many nodes directly compatible without any mappings

Not only that, when I route the output of an analog port into a PWM block, it only works like on/off switch at the half-point value. Meaning, if I turn up the pot from 0 to 50% value nothing happens, and at 51% value the signal is switched to on on the corresponding port. There is no gradual incremental increase of the signal like it is in Arduino.

I tried setting the value field of the Analog Input to various numbers but it does not make a difference.

I’ve tried a simple patch:

With a potentiometer on analog input A0 (14) and a LED on 9.

When I rotate the knob, LED’s brightness smoothly changes. Can you confirm that it does not work for you?

I was trying to dump the analog values to the console with the CONSOLE-LOG block. It did not produce any output in XOD or in CONSOLE window of the developer tools. But if I open the Arduino Serial Monitor, it displays all the values as I change the POT on the analog port.

Yes, it is incomplete. The big idea is to have watches. The kind of nodes that once connected to a particular pin shows the value in real-time and effectively are small serial monitors that show only values associated with them.
