When the PDs are saturated, the other ADC readings are wrong #452

We see this in testing when a incandesce bulb is too close to a PD, then the signal from the AUX voltage is wrong (too high).

It's possible that if a user has LEDs directly across from a exposed PD, this will saturate to PD and change the other readings in the ADC / RP2040.
