is ok, but i would prefer a more accurate resolution.
That's not what I am getting at.
If your sensor's analog output value has less than 0.097656 % (1/1024 * 100%)
noise, then, yes, you need a more accurate ADC. Otherwise there is no point.
Depends on the noise bandwidth and sample rate.
A simple 2nd order, critically damped LPF can
do wonders. If you buffer the sensor with an
opamp, this takes just two resistors and two
condensors. I'd use it anyway.
