Improve support and docs for ADC driver (#7191)
* Improve support and docs for ADC driver
* Comment ADC channels
* Move to Makers and Modders section, and fix usage instructions
* Flesh out intro
* Superscript 328P note
* Fix pin_to_mux LUT
* Support USB64/1287 as well
* analogReadPin() defaults to 0V mux on invalid pin
* Update pinToMux() function documentation
* Dot
* Accept (some of) the `qmk cformat` changes
* Do clang-format properly
* More wording tweaks
* Link to encoder docs

This can be useful for implementing things such as battery level indicators for Bluetooth keyboards, or volume controls using a potentiometer, as opposed to a [rotary encoder](feature_encoders.md). + +This driver is currently AVR-only. The values returned are 10-bit integers (0-1023) mapped between 0V and VCC (usually 5V or 3.3V). + +## Usage + +To use this driver, add the following to your `rules.mk`: + +```make +SRC += analog.c +``` + +Then place this include at the top of your code: + +```c +#include "analog.h" +``` + +## Channels + +|Channel|AT90USB64/128|ATmega16/32U4|ATmega32A|ATmega328P| +|-------|-------------|-------------|---------|----------| +|0 |`F0` |`F0` |`A0` |`C0` | +|1 |`F1` |`F1` |`A1` |`C1` | +|2 |`F2` | |`A2` |`C2` | +|3 |`F3` | |`A3` |`C3` | +|4 |`F4` |`F4` |`A4` |`C4` | +|5 |`F5` |`F5` |`A5` |`C5` | +|6 |`F6` |`F6` |`A6` |* | +|7 |`F7` |`F7` |`A7` |* | +|8 | |`D4` | | | +|9 | |`D6` | | | +|10 | |`D7` | | | +|11 | |`B4` | | | +|12 | |`B5` | | | +|13 | |`B6` | | | + +<sup>\* The ATmega328P possesses two extra ADC channels; however, they are not present on the DIP pinout, and are not shared with GPIO pins.

Must be one of `ADC_REF_EXTERNAL`, `ADC_REF_POWER` or `ADC_REF_INTERNAL`.| +|`analogRead(pin)` |Reads the value from the specified Arduino pin, eg. `4` for ADC6 on the ATmega32U4. | +|`analogReadPin(pin)` |Reads the value from the specified QMK pin, eg. `F6` for ADC6 on the ATmega32U4. | +|`pinToMux(pin)` |Translates a given QMK pin to a mux value. If an unsupported pin is given, returns the mux value for "0V (GND)". | +|`adc_read(mux)` |Reads the value from the ADC according to the specified mux. See your MCU's datasheet for more information. | |
