---+ 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<br /> 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<br />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 * The [[HD44780]] LCD controller with a 2 x 16 character display and a PCF8574 8bit I/O expander for the I2C bus\ -- %USERSIG{UliRaich - 2017-02-01}% ---++ Comments %COMMENT%
