What is the most efficient voltage divider for Arduino?
I need to make voltage divider, so I could read a battery voltage up to 14.4 V. Could I use very high resistance resistors for that, so the current would be very low (to not to discharge battery)?
On ...

Inaccurate and non-precise voltage reading from Arduino Analog pin
float get_volt() {
rawVolt = analogRead(voltageSensor);
vOUT = (rawVolt * 4.6) / 1024.0;
vIN = vOUT / (R2/(R1+R2));
//if(vIN>12.0){vIN=12;}
//if(vIN<11.12){vIN=11.12;}
//return (vIN -...
