![Using MCP3008 to measure temperature with GPIO Zero and RasPiO Pro Hat](https://raspi.tv/wp-content/uploads/2016/02/ProHat-MCP3008-TMP36c-150x150.png)
In the previous article I showed you the GPIO Zero Experimenter’s Kit I put together to go with the RasPiO® Pro Hat. Today I’m going to give a quick overview of how to use the MCP3008 analogue to digital converter to read the TMP-36 temperature sensor. This gives us a temperature reading (in °C) that we can use to make “decisions” in our Python program. In our case, we’re going to switch on a red LED when the temperature is 24 °C or greater. But there are all sorts of other things you could do, […more…]
