# Formulierung dehnbarer leitfähiger Tinten für 3D-Drucker vom Typ Direct Ink Writing (DIW)

In the fablab we tried to help with measuring the resistance of this material with a RaspberryPi Pico.

Resistance Measurement
For doing the “Multi-channel-measurement” of your Resistors we used the https://www.raspberrypi.com/documentation/microcontrollers/pico-series.html
I just realized that the pico only has 3 analog inputs.
It would be better to use the Arduino Mega, the Teensy4.1, the STM32 Blue Pill or a ESP32

How can I measure a resistance between 1 and 10 Ohms with an Raspberry Pi Pico using a Voltage divider?

We use the software:

With this sketch:

/*
  ReadAnalogVoltage

  Reads an analog input on pin 0, converts it to voltage, and prints the result to the Serial Monitor.
  Graphical representation is available using Serial Plotter (Tools > Serial Plotter menu).
  Attach the center pin of a potentiometer to pin A0, and the outside pins to +5V and ground.

  This example code is in the public domain.

*/

// the setup routine runs once when you press reset:
void setup() {
  // initialize serial communication at 9600 bits per second:
  Serial.begin(9600);
}

// the loop routine runs over and over again forever:
void loop() {
  // read the input on analog pin 0:
  int sensorValue = analogRead(26);
  // Convert the analog reading (which goes from 0 - 1023) to a voltage (0 - 5V):
  float voltage = sensorValue * (5.0 / 1023.0);
  // print out the value you read:
  Serial.println(voltage);
  delay(100);
}


And this electrical setup (we only had a 220ohm resistor):

     3.3V

     [ R_ref ] = z. B. 100 Ω

How can I measure a resistance between 110 ohms and 1 kOhm with a arduino Nano using a Voltage divider?
