This article presents an implementation of the basic measuring neuron for a self-routing analog-to-digital converter that uses an additional microcontroller to realize operation. The use of a microcontroller allows changing the operation and architecture of the hardware network of neurons flexibly, preserving the circuit diagram of the neuron itself. The article also provides a method and model of self-diagnostics, which allows taking into account changes in the calibration characteristic of neurons and is implemented as a physical model by changing the value of the digital potentiometer. The results of the simulation showed the effectiveness of self-diagnostics at the stage of network initialization, however additional studies are required to work in the background in parallel with the measurement to improve the proposed method
