ADC reference manual

[Téo Benjamin]

Hello,
I have been using the reference manual for the ADC module.
This can be found at ( http://elua.giga.puc-rio.br/en_refman_gen_adc.html#overview ). This is only a preview for the doc pre0.6 at the moment and the site can be out of bussiness while an update is being made.
We have to use these functions for a project here at PUC and the results until now are very good, but I think we can improve the documentation for this specific module ( I did not see all the doc already ).
Some functions have a very short and not so detailed explanations and in the future it can make the work more difficult.
Probrably the best time to change the doc is now: before v0.6 is released.

Thanks,
Téo

You're right, thanks for pointing this out.
The functions are pretty self-explaned (tks Snyder !) but concepts like the Moving Average Filter ( adc.setsmoothing() ) deserve some more text.
I'm glad you are beeing able to use them anyway ! Pls post some pictures of your neat robotic arm PID controlled by eLua asap ! :)

For those who don't know him yet, Téo is an undergraduate Control & Automation Engineering student @PUC-Rio and one of the guys that built Manfredo too, an autonomous little robot with GPS based navigation. Manfredo has ultra-sound sonars to deviate from obstacles and takes pictures at precise points, using Canon Digital Cameras running CHDK.
Manfredo is 100% programed in Lua and will reincarnate soon in an upgraded version, that will welcome new students at the beginning of each new "period" (classes begin every 6 months in Rio) and take them arround from one place to another in the campus.
They will soon be playing with an inertial navigation unit (3 gyros + 3 acelerometers + 3 magnetometers) and are already sending SMSs as well as socket connecting, using Wavecom's GSM/GPRS modems too (yes they have Lua too ! :).

A very short video of Manfredo in action, can be seen in the embrionary version of it's doc at http://www.giga.puc-rio.br/site/embedded/manfredo  (sorry, portuguese only for now)

Tksssss

I've made a few updates on the 0.6 branch that hopefully makes things  
a bit clearer.

I'd be happy to include more extensive explanations or reword if  
anything seems unclear.
