MCP3008

Post by deltafee »

Hey, So I am creating a pi project that is consuming my GPIOs and in the project I have a MCP3008 Chip with a couple of spaces I was wondering if anyone has connected a button to the mcp3008, I was also wondering if anyone had connected a PIR sensor to the MCP3008 as well?

here's the mcp3008 info

here's the PIR Sensor Info

any feed back would be great.

Our RGB/LCD shield has buttons connected to the MCP3008's bigger brother, the MCP3017.

Okay that sounds great, Do you think that its possible to add the PIR motion sensor to the MCP3008 as well? my logic says yes, since a PIR is mostly a switch, would that be a correct assumption?

Yes. The PIR should act pretty much like a switch on the MCP3008.
