Unsupported type for__gt__ Not sure what this is

[RainySun]

Hey, I am new to circuit python; I used to mostly work with Arduino IDE but slowly shifting towards circuit python.
I have written a code below that compares previous value to a recent value. Looked at the REPL, and not sure what this is talking about.
I hope to hear your response.

Code: Select all

import time
import board
from analogio import AnalogIn

def get_voltage(pin):
    return (pin.value * 3.3) / 65536

analog_in1 = 0

while True:

    for i in range(100):
        analog_in2 = AnalogIn(board.A1)
        if analog_in2 > analog_in1:      # line 14
            analog_in1 = analog_in2
            time.sleep(0.5)
    print(get_voltage(analog_in1))

analog_in2 is an instance of AnalogIn representing the ADC pin (i.e. A1). That can't be compared to an integer, which is the complaint. To read the analog value on the pin you need to access its value property as described in https://learn.adafruit.com/circuitpytho ... -analog-in.

So before the loop:

Code: Select all

analog_pin = AnalogIn(board.A1)

then in the loop:

Code: Select all

analog_in2 = analog_pin.value

Thank you, Dave! That worked.
