Feature request: ADC.read && setTimeout

[Bravo13]

So, is it already realized in smart.js to read data from the adc and what about js functions setTimeout and setInterval?

[mkmik]

We do have a currently very basic support for setTimeout. It doesn't yet support timer cancellation and on the ESP8266 platform only one timer can be be used at a time (calling setTimeout again will reset the previously set timer).

We'll definitely allow concurrent timers soon, and very likely also implement cancellation support and setInterval as well.

The ADC interface is still TODO.

+1 any news on this? I actually had a transducer connected to my NodeMCU with the voltage range down to [0.0, 1.0] and all, and then realized I couldn't read it from JavaScript... :(

Simple ADC API implemented.

It currently works only on ESP8266, which has only one ADC. Usage:

ADC.read(0)

returns a JS number in the [0.0, 1.0] range.

I tried it only by connecting to ground and VCC. I got .0029296875 and 1.0 respectively
Each device might have to be calibrated. We are just issuing a call the the ESP8266 SDK which offers a very basic interface to the ADC.

This is awesome; I think exactly what one would expect. Going to be using it in a few min. Thanks!
