  The Raspberry Pi uses I2C bus 1 for communication with external I2C devices. This can be seen in the /dev directory. Both libraries: wiringpi and pigpio provide access functions to drive the I2C bus. The i2cdetect command allows to see which I2C addresses are in use. The screen dump below shows 2 devices connected to the I2C bus on address 0x3f ( the pcf8574 I/O expander used to driver the hd44780 display driver) and 0x48 (the pcf8591 A/D and D/A chip).

 The additional sensor boards are all based on the I2C bus and include
  • The PCF8591 8 bit A/D and D/A converter
    The ADC has 4 multiplexed input channels and 2 DAC channel and it includes a potentiometer, a photo resistor and a thermistor, which can be connected to the ADC inputs through jumpers.
  • The ADS1115 16 bit ADC
    This is a high resolution ADC again with 4 multiplexed input channels

Additional Sensors

The sensor kit was originally designed to be used with the Arduino, an Italian micro-controller design very popular with hobbyists. The Arduino uses Atmel micro-controllers with internal flash memories, which can be programmed from a PC through USB. A complete GUI based Software Development Kit (SDK) is available containing editor, cross-compiler and flash programmer. The Arduino is delivered with a boot loader pre-installed which helps in flash programming. Without this boot loader and external flash programmer is needed.

The Arduino is much less powerful than the Raspberry Pi but has similar interfaces to the outside world: GPIO, SPI, I2C. In addition to the Raspberry the Arduino has 6 analogue inputs with and analogue to digital converter on chip. This allows to read analogue signals without additional hardware.

The sensor kit contains 2 sensors with analogue to digital conversion on the sensor chip (DS18b20 and DHT11) while for other analogue signals an additional external ADC is needed.

The additional sensor boards are all based on the I2C bus and include

  • The PCF8591 8 bit A/D and D/A converter
    The ADC has 4 multiplexed input channels and 2 DAC channel and it includes a potentiometer, a photo resistor and a thermistor, which can be connected to the ADC inputs through jumpers.
  • The ADS1115 16 bit ADC
    This is a high resolution ADC again with 4 multiplexed input channels
  • The DS1307 Real Time Clock combined with the AT24c32 serial EEPROM
  • The MCP4725 Digital to Analogue converter
  • The BMP180 Temperature and Barometric Pressure sensor
