Simple SPI on Raspberry Pi

 This article aims to show a simple method of setting up the SPI interface on the Raspberry Pi Computer with python. The SPI interface is one of the busses made available on the 26 pin GPIO header of the Raspberry Pi.After the setup has been completed, a test circuit using a TLC549 8 bit A/D

Interfacing an SPI ADC MCP3008 chip to the Raspberry Pi using C spidev

Interfacing an SPI ADC (MCP3008) chip to the Raspberry Pi using C++ (spidev)

In this entry I will demonstrate how to interface the MCP3008; an SPI-based analog to digital converter (ADC) integrated chip, to the Raspberry Pi. This enables  the Raspberry Pi to interpret analog voltages that are in turn typically emitted by analog-based sensors to reflect a measure of  a physical characteristic such as acceleration, light intensity
