Detailed Description
The Happyboard has 16 analog inputs. These inputs are fed into a 10 Bit ADC. The ADC communicates with the main processor via SPI, and can do so at 500kHz (20k samples per second.) In reality the actual maximum sample rate is slightly lower due to overheads in the OS code. (Also, the bottleneck analog input sampling is usually processing code, rather than the actual data acquisition).
The analog, digital, and encoder inputs (as well as the LCD) are run off a separate 5V regulated supply. This supply can supply up to 400mA to power the input sensors.
