Use the Phantom YoYo High Sensitivity Water Sensor on the MCP3008 8-Channel 10-Bit ADC with SPI interface. Introduction Background In an upcoming project I am using the MCP3008 to monitor several sensors. In this project I want to cover the details of using the Phantom YoYo High Sensitivity Water Sensor on the MCP3008 8-Channel 10-Bit ADC with SPI […]

inputs which means it is a bit of a pain to use many of the available sensors. I wanted to update my garage security system with the ability to use more sensors so I decided to investigate an easy and cheap way to do it. The MCP3008 was the answer. The MCP3008 is a 10bit

Introduction I’ve found a few posts out there that cover connecting a TMP36 (analogue temperature sensor) to the Raspberry Pi via the MCP3008 ADC (Analogue to Digital Converter) but I wanted to expand on the thing that I found confusing – the associated Python code that interfaces with the MCP3008. By using the MCP3008 datasheet,

While browsing eBay looking at electronics stuff I found a few interesting items to connect to the Pi. The first item was a small 2-axis analogue joystick. They are similar to the thumb-sticks you would find on a modern games console controller. These modules are cheap and easy to connect to a circuit so I decided to

Howdy Y’all Back when I was working on the Raspberry Pi portable emulator that became the backseat system. I thought that I would want to use an analog joystick like several of the other builds. However I was trying to get it to work via the GPIO instead of USB bus. Unfortunately mid build I
