How to utilize ADC Noise Reduction mode?

[azirger2]

Within the ATTinyCore Arduino environment, how do I go about doing an ADC conversion with the Noise Reduction mode enabled? I'm using a Digispark Pro board.

I see a reference in the Arduino.h file of:
#ifdef SLEEP_MODE_ADC
int analogRead_NR(uint8_t pin);
int _analogRead(uint8_t pin, bool use_noise_reduction);
#else
int _analogRead(uint8_t pin);
#endif

so, I think the capability is supported.

Thanks.

I should also say, in the README.md file, it says to just use analogRead_NR() instead of analogRead(), but when I do, I get the message:
Compilation error: 'analogRead_NR' was not declared in this scope

I'm using the installed 1.5.2 ATTinyCore library and I see the Arduino.h is not the same as the one if I'm perusing the GitHub path to:
ATTinyCore/avr/cores/tiny/Arduino.h

The installed Arduino.h I'm thinking is what my system is using down in:
...\ATTinyCore-1.5.2\ATTinyCore-1.5.2\avr\cores\tiny

has no mention of the analogRead_NR() function.

I guess that returns to my original question: How do I set up my system to be able to use the analogRead_NR() capability for a Digispark Pro in the current Arduino environment (I'm running Arduino IDE 2.3.3)?

You are searching in the source code of AttinyCore V2.0.0 that is in development. In the V2.0.0 version analogRead_NR() compiles fine.

You are using 1.5.2 , so you need to look in the sourcecode of that release analogRead_NR() is not present in that version.

Thanks for that insight. What are my options to take advantage of ADC Noise Reduction mode? Is the V2.0.0 version stable enough I can install and use that version? Do I need to write registers manually and do the equivalent of the analogRead_NR() function if I'm limited to version 1.5.2? Or ?

I have a separate portable installation of the IDE (1.8.13) just for Attinycore V2.0.0

You will have to do a manual installation of Attinycore afterwards.

Then you have a totally separate second IDE, that will never interfere with whatever IDE version you have now.

In fact the reason I probably will never upgrade to version 2 of the IDE, is that I have 14 different portable IDE versions on my PC all tuned to a specific purpose. The Arduino team decided in their wisdom that V2 of the IDE has no portable installation and they put a lock on the discussion thread where people asked for it.
