Python Code 7.1.1 ADC
First install a smbus module, and the command is as follows:
sudo apt-get install python-smbus
After the installation is completed, operate according to the following steps. Observe the project result, and
then analyze the code.
1. Use cd command to enter 07.1.1_ADC directory of Python code.
cd ~/Freenove_Ultimate_Starter_Kit_for_Raspberry_Pi/Code/Python_Code/07.1.1_ADC
2. Use the python command to execute the Python code “ADC.py”.
python ADC.py
After the program is executed, shift the potentiometer, then the terminal will print out the potentiometer
voltage value and the converted digital content. When the voltage is greater than 1.6V (voltage need to turn
on red LED), LED starts emitting light. If you continue to increase the output voltage, the LED will become
more bright gradually.
