    Gotta be a Time Machine. Just has to be. This would be about the only use for RCTIME.

    Could be, but why i'm asking is that many use RcTime to read a POT, while using the ADC is much efficient and don't need any extra capacitor.

    Let's see...

    It's not a bug, it's a random feature.
    There's no problem, only learning opportunities.

    Yeah - RCTIME is a bit inadequate for that, there's not enough span at the lower end. I think min is a few KΩ. Besides, relatively inefficient too, tying up a complex protocol for something so simple.

    I could easily see throwing a few push buttons, each with their own resistor, on the same pin, with a parallel cap, and using RCTIME to figure out which switch was pressed.

    That is a very good idea!
