In this video, we show how to configure an Arduino UNO board for precise voltage measurements. A good-quality power supply is required for this. Also, you must know the exact value of the reference voltage the AD converter is using. Do not simply assume that it is 5 V or so, measure it. If you follow the instructions carefully then you too can take accurate measurements with an Arduino board.
