- Page 47 (line 4): 0 and bit 11 to 1 should be 1 and bit 11 to 0
- Page 78 (Paragraph 1, line 1): This command erases the existing firmware on the microcontroller and writes the new firmware (in this case, 2_RegisterManipulation.elf) Onto it. should be ignored
- Page 81 (Paragraph 1, line 5): than we can should be ignored
- Page 213 (line 2): an 8-bit ADC has 256 levels (28), while a 12-bit ADC has 4096 levels (212) should be an 8-bit ADC has 256 levels (2^8), while a 12-bit ADC has 4096 levels (2^12)
- Page 214 (Paragraph 1, line 1): an 8-bit ADC has 256(28) should be an 8-bit ADC has 256(2^8)
