(VCC).

To read external voltage applied to ADC pin, use ``analogRead(A0)``.
Input voltage range is 0 — 1.0V.
Input voltage range of bare ESP8266 is 0 — 1.0V, however some many
boards may implement voltage dividers. To be on the safe side, <1.0V
can be tested. If e.g. 0.5V delivers values around ~512, then maximum
voltage is very likely to be 1.0V and 3.3V may harm the ESP8266.
However values around ~150 indicates that the maximum voltage is
likely to be 3.3V.

To read VCC voltage, use ``ESP.getVcc()`` and ADC pin must be kept
unconnected. Additionally, the following line has to be added to the
