Hello,
is the source I run from this library...
Now, what I figured would happen, happened and I cannot explain it (yet).
I am running a python3 program that has to do w/ SPI on the BBBW and the Adafruit_BBIO library. I set up my pins, set up the source, and ran the code.
...
I got back some odd numbers that mean nothing. I was following some ideas from Rpi stuff and transferring data to the BBBW via the Adafruit_BBIO library to make things work.
So...
from LDRII import MCP3008 #I found this source online and I cannot figure out what site I found it at currently. Anyway...if this is your source, say so! I will give you credit.
adc = MCP3008()
print(adc.read(channel = 0))is the source I run from this library...
from Adafruit_BBIO.SPI import SPI
SPI0_CS0 = "P9_17"SPI0_D0 = "P9_21"SPI0_D1 = "P9_18"SPI0_SCLK = "P9_22"
spi = SPI(1, 0)
class MCP3008: def __init__(self, bus = 0, device = 0): self.bus, self.device = bus, device self.spi = SPI() self.open()
def open(self): self.spi.open(self.bus, self.device)
def read(self, channel = 0): adc = self.spi.xfer2([1, (8 + channel) << 4, 0]) data = ((adc[1] & 3) << 8) + adc[2] return data
def close(self): self.spi.close()Now, what I figured would happen, happened and I cannot explain it (yet).
Do you see my error in computation here?
Seth
P.S. I have to use config-pin to set up the pins for use but I receive variable numerical values every time I run the source from above. Please send some advice if you have time.

Hello Again,
I am receiving now, what I think are voltage levels, some levels from some simple math added to the source.
Seth
P.S. Here:
The line below voltage is the original numerical value w/ what I think is the a voltage to the right of voltage. Here is the updated source to the library:
voltage: 0.003225806451612903216voltage: 0.003225806451612903216voltage: 0.00322580645161290320voltage: 0.003225806451612903224voltage: 0.003225806451612903210voltage: 0.00322580645161290321voltage: 0.003225806451612903224
from LDRII import MCP3008import time
adc = MCP3008()
while True: Vref = 3.3 Voltage = (Vref / 1023) print("voltage: \t", Voltage) print(adc.read(channel = 0)) time.sleep(4)

Based on Google, the MCP3008 is a multichannel ADC. The Raspberry Pi
examples require it because the R-Pi only has binary GPIO.

What you have calculated as "Voltage" is just the STEP value for the
ADC and it will never change. You have to multiply the step value by the
ADC reading to get the measured voltage. NOTE: you are defining Vref as 3.3
on EVERY pass of the loop: IT, and the STEP should be constants defined
outside the loop.
NOTE: those numbers you were reporting look a lot like noise on a
grounded signal pin. A reading of 16 is just 0.0516 volts.
You might want to look at
https://github.com/adafruit/Adafruit_CircuitPython_MCP3xxx/
(Adafruit is phasing out system specific libraries for CircuitPython -- and
provides the blinka library to map regular Python [as found on R-Pi and
BBB] to the CircuitPython API)

blinka)

Hey and Hello,
I got the info. more suited to abide by actual rules instead of guessing like I did do earlier in my source.
...
Thank you for the links. I did get some help on Freenode too. I will look over the links. I have them up now.
Seth
P.S. Here is a setup maybe worth while?
from LDRone import MCP3008import time
adc = MCP3008(bus=0, device=0, vref=3.3)
try: while True: voltage = adc.read(channel=0) # across resistor current = voltage * 10000 # through resistor and LDR resistance = (adc.vref - voltage) / current # of LDR print("voltage: \t", voltage) print("current: \t", current) print("resistance: \t", resistance) time.sleep(4)
except: print("Get gone!") passHere is LDRone.py
from Adafruit_BBIO.SPI import SPI
class MCP3008: def __init__(self, bus, device, vref): self.vref = vref self.spi = SPI(bus, device)
def read(self, channel): data = self.spi.xfer2([1, (8 + channel) << 4, 0]) value = ((data[1] & 3) << 8) + data[2] return value * self.vref / 1023

Hello,
Yes...I know. I read earlier from a book that the op amp is a goto source for handling this device, i.e. the LDR/photoresistor.

P.S. Thank you for the heads up.

Hello Mr. Dennis,
Seth here. Thank you again. It is nice to have people just away ideas like this one. I know you know more than I do on this subject. I am new to SPI and using in Linux Distros on the BBBW never crossed my path until this task.
...
So, I will put in your source and see how it works. Would you like to know the answer or terminal writing, I am sure you already have tested it, when I run the source?
Seth
