ADC

In electronics, an analog-to-digital converter (ADC, A/D, or A-to-D) is a system that converts an analog signal, such as a sound picked up by a microphone or light entering a digital camera, into a digital signal. An ADC may also provide an isolated measurement such as an electronic device that converts an input analog voltage or current to a digital number representing the magnitude of the voltage or current. Typically the digital output is a two's complement binary number that is proportional to the input, but there are other possibilities.

How to use ADC On Raspberry Pi Pico using MicroPython

Measure with Music: How to Read Analog Sensors Using a PC Sound Card

“This post describes a simple method of reading resistive and capacitive sensors using a standard PC sound card. Virtually any desktop or laptop could be turned into a simple data acquisition system using this method. Thanks to moderate system requirements …

Adding ADC to Microcontrollers without ADC

“I recently had the need to carefully measure a voltage with a microcontroller which lacks an analog-to-digital converter (ADC), and I hacked together a quick and dirty method to do just this using a comparator, two transistors, and a few …

ADC for Raspberry PI

Using an MCP3008 IC we will add the ability to read analog values on a Raspberry Pi. The Raspberry Pi unlike the Arduinos natively has no way of reading analog data. By adding an integrated as the MCP3008 we can …

Maximizing Arduino’s ADC Resolution and Accuracy Part 1

“In part 1, of this 3 to 4 part series, we will look at what ADC measurement resolution is and how to maximize it on the Arduino. We will also look at a simple hint to increase Arduino’s ADC …
