Build Your Own I2C Sensor
Since Raspberry Pi doesn’t have a built-in ADC (Analog to Digital converter) to read the voltage off from most of sensors, the best solution is to add I2C ADC chips and modules to your project. Paweł Spychalski faced this problem while building his own weather station that is based...
