I'm not sure. I read somewhere that the internal reference really should not supply current, but looking at the schematic, it looks like it's powered from the VDD_1V8 1.8 V rail, which can supply a total of 400 mA (according to the SRM). I don't know how much the rest of the system draws. I hav

Hi, I need to connect 12 potentiometers to the adc inputs in the BBB (through an analog multiplexer). I have found that if I use potentiometers with lower resistance values (2Kohm), the input is less noisy than if I use higher resistance pots (500KOhms). Since the pots are "powered" by VADC a
