Overview

8 analog inputs for a Raspberry Pi over SPI

The ET-S76 is built around the Microchip MCP3008 — 10-bit SAR, 8 single-ended / 4 pseudo-differential inputs, 200ksps at 5V. It connects over SPI modes 0,0 / 1,1 and is powered from 2.7–5.5V (inputs 0…VREF).

Designed in Dubai by ElectroTrical — the full schematic, BOM and design notes are published below.

Good for

  • Analog sensors on a Raspberry Pi
  • Potentiometers and joysticks
  • Fast multi-channel sampling
