SparkFun Qwiic / STEMMA QT HAT for Raspberry Pi

The SparkFun Qwiic HAT for Raspberry Pi is the quickest and easiest way to enter SparkFun’s Qwiic / STEMMA QT ecosystem when using that Raspberry Pi that you’ve come to know and love. The Qwiic HAT connects the I2C bus (GND, 3.3V, SDA, and SCL) on your Raspberry Pi to an array of Qwiic connectors on the HAT. Since the Qwiic system allows for daisy-chaining boards with different addresses, you can stack as many sensors as you’d like to create a monolith of sensing power!

Adafruit TMP235 – Plug-and-Play STEMMA Analog Temperature Sensor – TMP235

For fans of the TMP36, we now have a very similar analog temperature sensor with a 3-pin JST connector (we call these STEMMA connectors). Unlike many of our temperature sensors, this one is analog output, not I2C, so its best used by a microcontroller with an analog input, as most microcontrollers do.

These sensors are very simple to use, no libraries or complex configurations required. Plug this board into any of our 3-pin JST PH cables (we have ones with header ends, alligator clips, etc) Red goes to 3V to 5V DC power, black wire connects to ground, and white wire connects to an analog input. The voltage out is 0V at -50°C and 1.75V at 125°C. You can easily calculate the temperature from the voltage in millivolts: Temp °C = 100*(reading in V) – 50

Adafruit PCF8591 Quad 8-bit ADC + 8-bit DAC – STEMMA QT / Qwiic

Measuring voltage and adjusting it is what electronics is all about so you won’t get far without friends like the Adafruit PCF8591 Quad 8-bit ADC + 8-bit DAC combo. Analog to Digital Converters help by measuring an analog voltage and turning it into something a microcontroller like a Metro or Arduino can understand. If you’re using a single board computer like a Raspberry Pi, you might not have any other way to measure a voltage because even though they are well equipped for digital circuits, many boards of that type don’t have any pins that can measure analog voltages.
