Analogs inputs configuration

Le Raspberry Pi (2) est dépourvu d'entrées analogiques. La carte SVXLink Card est équipée d'un convertisseur assurant cette fonction (IC7 MCP3204) pour 4 mesures. <note important>Les entrées analogiques doivent évoluer uniquement dans la plage de tension 0 à 3,3 V</note>

Il faut dans un premier temps mettre en route le bus SPI au démarrage.

Edit the file /boot/config.txt and add this line: Run editor with this command

sudo nano /boot/config.txt

then add this line in the file at the end of the page

dtparam=spi=on

For software modules installation, execute these commands

sudo apt-get install python-dev python-pip
sudo pip install spidev

To verify it works, the following python code will allow you to read the values (and display in points and voltage of the 4 inputs).

Here is a test sequence, with the voltage setting of 3.3V (taken on the 1WIRE pin), directly sent to pins 1 to 4 of the MCP3204 (IC7)
