| The retry on ADC error commit seems to be a good candidate to merge. I have hit the same issue, though it only comes up when trying to alternate between reading from two different ADC ports. It seems to be a low level driver bug in the ADC channel switching on the 3.8 kernel. Reproduction of the issue and a better description is found here: I have not found any kernel level patches or fixes that have been release, so at the moment, a retry function seems to be the best workaround. |
| I've merged a similar pull request. Thank you for submitting code to the library though! |

I've found an error in read_value due to a collision in the AIN* file. The result was bad data returned
to the user. I added a simple change to detect the error and retry the read up to 3 times.
