Raspberry Pi Analog to Digital Converters

The MCP3008 is a low cost 8-channel 10-bit analog to digital converter. The precision of this ADC is similar to that of an Arduino Uno, and with 8 channels you can read quite a few analog signals from the Pi. This chip is a great option if you just need to read simple analog signals, like from a temperature or light sensor. If you need more precision or features, check out the ADS1x115 series o
