#ANALOG TO DIGITAL CONVERTER FOR RASPBERRY PI MANUAL#

Data resolution for all 16 ports is 16 bits! Sample code in Python with a detailed user manual makes it easy to connect board to a Raspberry Pi. These ports are ideally suited to collect data from analog sensors or other analog devices several times a second. Pi-16ADC adds sixteen (16) Analog to Digital Converter (ADC) ports. Next, let’s take a look at the RGB LED and see if we can control the colors with three potentiometers.Pi-16ADC is a HAT or board designed for a Raspberry Pi.

Instead, this example gives us a foundation of how to work with analog components on the Raspberry Pi. However, if that’s all we wanted to do, it would be much easier to simply connect the potentiometer in series with the LED. If done correctly, the brightness of the LED should vary with the potentiometer. If ‘ctrl + c’ is pressed, it throws an error, and we run the destroy object to reset the board. A try/except statement is used to handle a keyboard interrupt. This section will run the setup object and then attempt to run the loop object. This will reset everything when we decide to stop the program. Print ('ADC Value : %d, Voltage : %.2f'%(value,voltage))įinally, we need to wrap up the program. Finally, we’ll print the analog value along with the voltage. Next, we’ll use that data to calculate the voltage. This writes the analog value to PCF8591 and thus controls the LED brightness. Then, we’ll create a variable “value” which will be equal to the data from channel 0. We’ll use a while loop to make it run indefinitely. Value = bus.read_byte_data(address,cmd+chn) Next, we’ll define two objects for reading and writing analog data. We need to define the hardware address, the I2C bus, and a command to send to the PCF8591. For this example we’ll be using smbus and time. We’ll need to take note of it because it will be required in the code later on.įirst, we need to import our libraries. This will display a hex code which is known as the hardware address.

We need to install i2c tools and check the hardware address. One last thing before we get in to the code. You should see something that looks like this: i2c_bcm2708 4770 0 You can verify that I2C is running by using the terminal window: lsmod | grep i2c From there, navigate to “Advanced Options”, where you’ll find the option to enable I2C. This will open the Raspberry Pi Software Configuration Tool.

To open the serial channel, open a terminal window and type: sudo raspi-config

Let’s move on, and take a look at how to configure I2C. Finally take note that the PCF8591 is connected to the SDA and SCL on the Raspberry Pi. Rather than using PWM to control the brightness, we’ll be using a true analog signal from the PCF8591. Also, notice that the LED is connected to the PCF8591 on pin 15. This is how we can measure the analog signal. You’ll notice that the potentiometer is connected to the PCF8591’s first analog input.

Now, connect the cable and power up the Pi. Verify everything is connected correctly. This will prevent accidental mistakes from shorting out the Pi and possibly damaging it. This helps you orient the chip in the correct direction.īe sure to disconnect the the cable connecting the extension board to the Pi or power off the Pi. You’ll notice the notch on one side of the PCF8591. It is important to use the schematic, wiring diagram, and the datasheet when wiring this circuit.
