> The 16MHz Arduino clock is too fast for the ADC to operate properly, therefore it needs to be prescaled.
> Prescale factors of 1 (no prescale) to 128 can be selected.
> By default, the Arduino IDE sets the prescale to 128,
> resulting in an ADC-clock period of 128/16MHz=8 microseconds,
> and thus a sampling period of `13*8=104` microseconds.
> Many tests have shown reducing the prescale to 16 results in only a slight loss of precision,
> while even faster clocks result in garbage.

> The Arduino ADC can be operated in single acquisition or free running mode.
> The standard analogRead() function does a single acquisition and returns the value when the ADC is ready.
> […], it is also possible to use a loop and poll for the ADIF flag which indicates that the ADC reading is complete, […]

> By default, the ADC configuration of the Arduino gives samples every 116µs.
> So here the ADC is configured with additional lines of code to get samples faster than 85µs by setting the prescaler to 16.
> With this, you get ADC conversion every 20µs, […]
