high ADC sample rate for FFT

Hello,
can somebody tell me, if and how it is possible to get a constant "high" sample rate (>5 ksps) from the EPS8266 internal ADC?
I would like to implement a FFT using the internal ADC under the Arduino IDE.
Thanks

did you see any hint in the datasheets that such high conversion rate (let alone constant) is achievable at all?

In the following post, a conversion time of 5us is given?

... but, that response was for a native SDK application, not for an Arduino 'side loaded' program. The RF section and stack needs to be serviced every 50mS or quicker (normally done when loop() repeats.) So, your A/D and all overhead must complete in 50mS ... a long time, but you need to be aware of the limitations of nonOS which manages the Arduino pseudo-thread.
