E-Blocks Sensor Board: Analogue or Digital?

Post by carlstein »

We are interested in some of the E-Blocks sensors for our atmospheric research. Why does the E-blocks "Sensor board" have an A-D converter when the analogue in of the PIC could be used instead?

There is no analogue-to-digital convertor in the sensor board. There are 2 ports - 1 for an "analogue" style sensor and one for a "digital" style sensor.

Most of the sensors we sell are of the "analogue" variety, and typically send an analogue voltage to one of the ADC inputs of the micro.
