# 1.2 ADC Polling

This example demonstrates how to sample an analog input in polled mode and send the converted data to console.

## Description

In this example, Analog input voltage in the range of 0V to 3.3V is fed to the ADC and converted value is displayed on the console. ADC conversion is triggered by software and result is polled using status API.
