# Analog Read Pin
Read an **analog** signal (`0` through `1023`) from the
[pin](/device/pins) you say.
```sig
pins.analogReadPin(AnalogPin.P0)
```
### Parameters
* a [string](/reference/types/string) that stores the name of the pin
you say (`P0` through `P4`, or `P10`)
### Returns
* a [number](/reference/types/number) from `0` through `1023`
This program reads pin `P1` and shows the number
on the LED screen.
```blocks
basic.forever(() => {
let value = pins.analogReadPin(AnalogPin.P1)
basic.showNumber(value)
});
```
