Re: 9201 module: battery level and potentiometers

Or is there some way to get both battery level and read from analog sensors from one analog breakout?
there are three pins parallel to the board itself off to the side of where you plug in your sensorscloser to analog channel 8 as indicated on the blue guard. You use the jumper on the two pins closest to the outside edge of the breakout board to get battery voltage.
