Other Technical Info

  • A2D Chip: MCP3008 via SPI interface running at 5V on CE0. (Possible to use an additional SPI device on CE1)
  • All digital and analog sensor ports have 5V VCC
  • 5V I2C lines have 10k pullup resistors
  • Two GPIO headers on GPIO21 and 22 (Wiring Pi pins 2 and 3) have a direct connection to GPIO pins (3.3V logic)
