## Customer Reviews

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great Analog to Digital converter
*by R***S on 18 November 2019*

A bit of a pain to set up on my raspberry pi as there were hurdles I hadn't expected to need to deal with. Essentially this chip converts analog signals to digital ones. I used it to convert the signal from a joystick (input) to control a servo (output). It required a lot of non standard libraries (code) to get it working and some additional configuration, but once present, it worked as desired.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great price, quick delivery and is exactly what you pay for.
*by G***H on 15 July 2018*

Used it for an A level project and was exactly what I needed to be able to use my temperature and humidity sensors from a Raspberry pi. Has 8 channels that can be programmed with and the manufacturers Adafruit have some great information on there website about how to connect and program the channels by using basic binary shifting.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Eseential chip for the Pi
*by N***L on 24 June 2017*

I use this with my Raspberry PI, as it doesn't have much in the way of connectivity to analog devices. The chip gives 8 10-bit analog channels, accessed via SPI. I used the Pi breakout board, but it could be connected straight to the 40-way connector. This chip is pretty much an essential for the Pi if you're playing around with sensors.
