Hooking Up Peripherals to the Raspberry Pi

This section shows how to add the following peripherals to the RPi board

Installing the Raspicam

The v2 Camera Module has a Sony IMX219 8-megapixel sensor (compared to the 5-megapixel OmniVision OV5647 sensor of the original camera).

Installing the ADC - Analog digital converter

The ADS1115 4-channel digital analog converter is a suitable component for circuits where the microcontroller does not have an ADC (Analog Digital Converter) built-in, or when you need a high-precision converter in your design.

This converter operates with voltages between 2 and 5.5VDC, and the maximum voltage on the analog pins is equal to the supply voltage. Analog pins can be programmed as 4 independent pins, or two differential channels.

The communication interface used by the board is I2C, easy to connect to boards such as Arduino, Raspberry Pi, Beaglebone, etc.

Installing the ADC sensor

You just need to :

$ sudo pip install adafruit-ads1x15
