Hey everyone,

[Thea Flowers](https://twitter.com/theavalkyrie) of the [Winterbloom](https://winterbloom.com/) fame wrote a fantastic article about ADC usage on the SAM D21. This is very well put together blog post including online calculators for different ADC settings. I think this information can also be transferred to other MCU vendors and sets a high bar for embedded hardware blog posts.
