I'm using a Roland EV-5 pedal connected to an analog input.
This was very easy to get working, cool ... :)
I first tried it on a v5 axoloti core, and it worked exactly as expected.
I now connected the same EV-5 to a v3 board, but I get a dent in the curve.
Here's what it looks like, when moving the EV-5 up/down once in the timespan of one disp/chart draw:










Any idea what might be causing this?
thanks,
Tim

No idea. Is it the same pedal that was working perfectly before?
It could be a worn-out potentiometer in the pedal, as the glitch seem to happen at the same position.
I don't see a reason why a v3 board 'd be different than a v5 board. Maybe try a different analog input pin on the board to eliminate a bad solder joint?

yes, same pedal

I'll do some more testing later
