[time-nuts] Poor man's oven

[Adrian Godwin]

The specs for the ADC are pretty vague : most of the errors are around 2
LSB but all are quoted with vref at 4V. If you reduce vref (there's an
internal option of 1.1V) you'll increase gain but some of those errors are
going to stay physically the same. In general, I'd tend expect to get more
precision but also more noise. Averaging may help a bit.
