hard🧠 Conceptual Q10 of 15
Step-by-Step Solution
Solution:
Step 1: Understand MCP3008 function
MCP3008 is an ADC chip that converts analog voltage to a digital value.Step 2: Understand Raspberry Pi communication
Raspberry Pi reads digital data from MCP3008 via SPI protocol, not directly analog or I2C.Final Answer:
The MCP3008 converts the analog voltage to a digital number which Raspberry Pi reads via SPI -> Option CQuick Check:
MCP3008 ADC + SPI read = correct process [OK]
Quick Trick: MCP3008 converts analog to digital; Pi reads via SPI [OK]
Common Mistakes:
MISTAKES- Thinking Pi reads analog directly
- Confusing SPI with I2C
- Assuming MCP3008 outputs analog signals
